As I work on portfolios, this is something that intrigues me. It is obviously easy enough to go offline to do your reflecting, but then you lose the connection between reflection and action. I'm still a novice with this software and am not sure how I might do these things. (Obviously one can just do e-mail with individual students through courseinfo.) Best, Dan Daniel P.

His traveling press corps took to referring to "the 'you moron' look."' Washington Post on Bill Bradley, 3/4/00 .
