Update frequency poll preliminary results
Well, so far the poll seems to be indicating a preference for less frequent updates. Please click through and answer it if you haven’t already. I’ll close it and post results on Friday.
Update frequency poll
Hi everyone
A bit of housekeeping today. I’d like to figure out what my audience would like from the blog. My posting schedule varies from every day when I am feeling productive, all the way down to not posting for several weeks or months.
One thing I have noticed is that I get a lot more traffic when I post every day.
However, in my own blog-reading habits, I don’t normally want to see daily updates (I find they clog my inbox and rss reader). I much prefer a one to three posts a week schedule for almost all blogs I follow.
Of course, this blog is not all about me, but rather you, loyal readers. How frequently would you like to see new posts from me? I’d be really grateful if you could answer the poll below (just choose one of the options and click ‘submit’).

Google Currents
Do you remember when Google shut down their RSS application Reader earlier in the year? I was quite upset at the time, but have since started using Digg Reader and have come to forgive them in my heart.
Google has something called Google Currents that appears to have been around for a couple of years now. I think I have it on my Nexus 7, but I never really knew what it was until my friend Parin wrote about it on Facebook just now.
To cut a long story short, you can now subscribe to this blog on Google Currents, by following this link. Or for even more personal service, sign up for email delivery in the box at the top right of this page.
If you want to know more, including how to set up Google Currents to publish your content from WordPress, the video below is very clear.

And now for something completely different
I really enjoyed writing and discussing last week’s educational reform posts. You can see my thoughts on elementary school English, on junior high school English, on senior high school English, and on university English here.
I will probably return to the topic (it’s one of my deep interests) but for now we are going to go back to the usual eclectic mix of teaching topics. Next up (hopefully on Monday) I will be posting a video of the first session of my extensive reading class at Tohoku University. It will include all the orientation material as well as an explanation of what ER is and how we approach it in our program.
Should be useful to teachers using ER in their classes and especially for teachers that are considering it. Stay tuned 🙂
