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!

It’s a great one! I’ve been *this close* to showing it in class and something else always beats it out.

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!

Well, after trying to figure out my Microsoft password for 30 minutes, I tried to play Diablo IV. But there was a massive update. By the time it was able to be played, it was time to go get my daughter. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll try again tomorrow. 😅

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. 🤬

I'm just glad I appeared competent in our first Zoom meeting last week! Hopefully only a few people think I'm an idiot, not the whole class.

Dr. Julia (Largent) Kuttler (she/her) @juliakuttler.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

THEN in sending "ignore" emails, I sent to one who needs the assignment. Sent an ignore the ignore. Tomorrow starts week two of that class. I now look like an idiot. This is why I shouldn't email before 7am. *facepalm*

Dr. Julia (Largent) Kuttler (she/her) @juliakuttler.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

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.

Journalists & journalism teachers: what do you do with your old editions of the AP Stylebook? Do you keep them? Recycle them?

I just found $70 in cash on my desk. I should clean it more often. (This is not a normal occurrence. I collected money for a colleague's baby shower group gift.)

Dr. Julia (Largent) Kuttler (she/her) @juliakuttler.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

Okay. I slacked at writing more. But it's because I just got so excited about the class and got caught up in a whirlwind of creation. Yay!

Have you ever thought about how weird the word "dungeon" is?

First, I typed "poopular culture" on the syllabus. Shit.

I'm working on my Pop Culture course today. Here's a thread of things I've thought about while doing so... I'll be adding throughout the day! So check back.

I don't want them to do the work for a speech outline and then not give that speech... (Happy to explain how I teach the class if you DM me.)

020

Dr. Julia (Largent) Kuttler (she/her) @juliakuttler.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

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.

Related: does it ever get less nerve wracking to go to sleep while the baby has a fever? I’m super tired but so anxious that she’ll silently need me while I’m asleep and I won’t know…

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. 🙃
