videoconferencing and honor society

Monday, I had a guest speaker by videoconference. She said exactly what I was hoping she would say and it was a great experience. I think the students were really impressed with it, and I think it was probably great for them to get a feel for the technology. Very cool.

Today, I am in charge of the induction of people into my department's honor society. Being the sponsor is not a task that I particularly enjoy, but it takes little time because my department has low expectations and the students tend to want little more than a resume stamp. It'll be fun to see the students and their families get excited, but I'll be happy when it's over.
