I don’t know how I missed this. Today, I discovered that in the Accordance iOS app you can copy a link to a particular place in a resource, paste that link in your notes, and make your notes, in whatever app you use, hyperlinked to Accordance. I love it. For those of you that might … Continue reading Thanks, Accordance

Reading with a Reader’s Text and Full Lexicon
Lately, I’ve enjoyed the balance of using a reader’s text and a bigger lexicon. I say “balance” because this combination allows you to move quickly when you want to move quickly, and for me that is what I want most of the time. The reader’s text facilitates this wonderfully. When I want to step into … Continue reading Reading with a Reader’s Text and Full Lexicon
Reading with a Diglot
One simple point here: a translation can serve as a tutor. Some think of a diglot as a “cheater’s text,” but it doesn’t have to be that way. Especially when you are trying to work through a text that is beyond your current reading level, you can use a diglot and genuinely learn from the … Continue reading Reading with a Diglot
Best Blogging Platform, Revisited
For the past couple years Squarespace has been my blogging platform of choice for one reason: even without much knowledge of CSS, Squarespace allowed me to customize the site to my heart’s content. It was partly about the template I used, too. I had a Squarespace template that was close enough to my style preferences … Continue reading Best Blogging Platform, Revisited
Teaching Online iPad Only
For the first time, this week I taught a formal online class using only my iPad. By “formal online class” I mean not a one-on-one teaching environment. This class was for an accredited institution with multiple students all over the country. They see a live stream of me teaching, and each student has a microphone … Continue reading Teaching Online iPad Only
Obstacles to Going iPad Only
Apple’s 2017 hardware and software releases helped me make significant progress towards going iPad-only, but I’m not quite there yet. I now only carry my laptop one or two days a week. What has to change for me to go i-Pad only? There’s two prongs on this fork, but both have to do with one … Continue reading Obstacles to Going iPad Only
On Teaching Greek
I did a three hour talk today on teaching Greek in a middle/high school context. This was a part of the the Classical Latin School Association teacher training conference. Here's a portion of my notes, the online handout. I wrote the handout in Ulysses' iPad app and exported it to PDF using a customized version … Continue reading On Teaching Greek
On Reading Groups
There is only one type of reading group I have stuck with and enjoyed, and that's a digital reading group of two. I once made the mistake of trying to lead a Facebook reading group. Won't do that again. It just takes too much time to maintain all the join requests and administrative notifications, and … Continue reading On Reading Groups
Twist for Reading Team Communication
The company that makes Todoist just released a team messaging app called Twist. I love Todoist so when a friend messaged me about this I was definitely interested. Having used Twist for a couple days, I'm not so sure if it is going to work for us. He and I have used Todoist over the … Continue reading Twist for Reading Team Communication
