Torg goes it alone on this week’s podcast and begins by talking about some of the ideas in Howard Rheingold’s book, Net Smart: How to Thrive Online. Torg applies the idea of micro and macro thinking to his upcoming research leave and the coaching of his daughters’ basketball team. He finishes off by discussing an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, “Silly Sanctimonious Games: How a Syllabus Sparked a War Between a Professor and a College.” Torg explains why he thinks the claim in the article about the difference between a professor and a teacher is nonsense.
