Hi friends! I'm teaching Media Lit this fall. I'm looking for a pre/post test/assessment that I can give the students--not for a grade but as an activity. Does anyone have something of this nature? Thanks!

I need your help! I’m looking for two types of stories: -stories that went viral and are crazy but TRUE -stories that went viral and are FALSE I need the full story—but if you know a snippet that I could google to find the story, I’ll take it. This is for a class activity. Thank you in advance!

I turned my Xbox on today for the first time since December 2023. My daughter turns 2 next month. These things are related.

Are you a student? Three easy things that will help you succeed in any class: 1) Read the syllabus. 2) Read assignment guidelines and rubric. Follow them. 3) NAME YOUR FILES (not Untitled 29).

I’m currently experiencing in real time both the benefits and drawbacks of animated slide deck. Benefits? It looks cool. Drawbacks—the presenters keep accidentally skipping ahead and then going back takes way longer than no animation and it’s annoying as the audience member.

You know it’s a good conference when there are multiple concurrent panels that you must decide between…BEA has that problem every year.

I’m in Vegas for BEA. I got Indian food on the way back to my hotel tonight. It was toooo spicy. So I ate it (and enjoyed it!) and then I *had* to go get the fancy-looking gelato downstairs to help calm the heat in my mouth. I had to. It was required by…the law.

It’s been awhile since a book made me stay up late. Yesteryear just did that. I should’ve been asleep two hours ago…but I had to finish it.

I got into weights when I was pregnant and have continued it for the past 20-ish months after my daughter was born. I did not know I would fall in love with it. I started this book the other day and it’s been really interesting. Worth a read!

If you teach a media literacy class or any low-level introduction to media class, mind sending me your syllabus? Thank you!

I usually wake up with the Today show. Today it was Pete Hegseth delivering an argument and update on Epic Fury. Not the Monday I wanted. I got so angry listening to him. 🤬

Sent a message to students via Canvas. Sent to all who hadn't submitted forgetting that there was nothing to submit...so it sent to everyone in the class regardless of grade.

Does anyone have any interesting assignments focused on outlines? Aside from speech or paper outlines? The way I teach public speaking no longer stresses outlines for speeches (well, I stress it, but there are no assignments for outlines) and I want them to still build that skill.

The worst part about listening to good music via headphones is the inability* to sing along with it in public. *socially acceptable inability. I am in a library after all.

My daughter is now old enough that her weekly fee for daycare went down. I'm both excited by this and utterly saddened. My baby isn't a baby anymore. 😭😭

Dr. Julia (Largent) Kuttler (she/her) @juliakuttler.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

I am by no means alone in this nor the first to complain, but I wish there were more "baby and me" type things in the evenings and not just during workdays. There are so many cool events, but they're all 9-11am on Tuesdays or something. Not conducive to working parents.

About 4 years ago, I emailed our VPSA to see if she'd mind being "killed" for a murder mystery in class. I presented on the class activity at BEA in 2025. Presenters were invited to submit their activity to a special issue of Journal of Media Education. Read about the activity here:

#Discord isn't working properly on my Mac since updating to Sequoia 15.6. I can open it, I'll get notifications, but I can't click into any of the servers. Is anyone else having this issue? I have restarted my computer multiple times and just reinstalled the app. None of that has solved the issue.

Took a bite of a cookie. It was stale. Threw the rest away. Grabbed some Goldfish to erase stale cookie taste. Also stale. Guess the universe is telling me to not snack tonight. Or reseal the sealable bag of Goldfish. 🙃

Teachers of Bluesky! What interactive poll site do you like? I've really enjoyed Slido since it has a variety of options--word cloud, quiz, open ended answers, etc. But they keep limiting options to force you to pay for a membership. SO! What do you like?

I’ve been done with breastfeeding since mid-January, albeit not by my choice. My daughter just nuzzled my chest and I just got so sad.

I'm done breastfeeding, but let me tell you--I'm never going to stop wearing the Latched Mama mompers. Can they make non-breastfeeding ones? I love them so much. UnLatched Mama, if you will.
