The next two myth items have been posted:

• [But this is how we've always done it.]
• [It's good enough for now.]

And they even have links to external resources. We're cooking with heat now! At some point I think I will set my official goal at one new article a week, though for now I am happy to be trying to get caught up. I was a bad boy. I created this is March and then proceeded to do nothing with it.

The first two myth items have been posted:

• [We need to teach them how to learn, not what to learn.]
• [What about the job market?]

If I start getting people interested in contributing input, I will expland these to have more feedback than my own. But for now people get to listen to me kvetch. Fortunately, it is more constructive kvetching than I had actually intended.

Summer is here, so I have time to start working on this in earnest. Hurrah!

I have set up a maling list for Texo Textura. If people would like to paricipate, drop me a line (I haven't set up a subscription page yet). Contact info is on the [who] page.

Although I do have unlimited bandwidth, I do not have unlimited server space, so I am not planning on setting up a discussion board in the nearby future. That may change, since I really should learn how to operate one anyway.

And if you are visiting, feel free to point out typos to me. Otherwise many of them will go undiscovered until some terribly inappropriate and embarrassing moment.

I am looking for anecdotes and horror stories of problems encountered in the teaching of Web design and programming. Just so those of you pulling out your hair can take comfort in the fact you are not alone.

There is, in case you were wondering, contact information on the [who] page. Trying to avoid the ego trip of having my addres on the main page.

First we vent a little, then we begin looking for solutions.

It is brand-spanking new, and thus news in and of itself.

The goal is to build this site into a community project devoted to effective Web pedagogy, which is to say, pedagogy for teaching Web design and programming.

This site will be getting its grand debut on March 30th at the Course Technology conference in San Francisco. Perhaps I may see you there.

Things that will be here, eventually:

• Discussions of both good and bad Web pedagogy.
• Essays, articles, and papers: topical discussions of what makes for good pedagogy in Web programming and design.
• Textbook and resource reviews.
• Sample syllabi and lesson plans.
• Web program reviews.
• Resource links.
• Discussion lists.
