My matslly things……..
By Pam Anderson, in the wee hours of the morning of July 28, while reflecting on 3 incredible weeks at Bennington. 


WebQuests and wikis, blogging and linking
IMs, podcasting,
I’m so tired of thinking.
Passwords, and logins
Citation Machine
These are a few of my matslly things.

Data bases and searches
On Eric and Jstor
I don’t think that my brain
Can take very much more.
Field notes and first cuts,
What clues will they bring?
These are a few of my matslly things.

Explanation,
Interpretation
And Perspective, too
Just think what self-knowledge can do for you.

Application and empathy
Essential questions
Understandings that endure
I must learn that lesson.
Design it all backwards
What wisdom it brings
These are a few of my matslly things.

Amalia and Shumway
Morel and Alberdi
Project Comprehension
I don’t think I’m ready.
Borjes, and Dahlmann
These names have a ring.
They’re now a part of my matslly things.





Martin Fierro
Jon and Peter
Deb, Lisa, too.
Without Carol and Nancy
Oh, what would we do?

Isabel and Noelle
And “Le risistance”
What broke our hearts?
“Au revoir les infants.”
Desaparecidos
Of sad things we sing
Yet these, too, are part of our matslly things.


I’ll miss all my new friends
The laughs and great chow
We’ll chat by moodle
When I figure out how.
It’s time to go now
What more can we say?
So let’s wind this all up
With a great big loud CHE!
