I think now would be a good time to reveal that I voted for the increased library tax in Louisville.

I think now would be a good time to reveal that I have a library book from 1979, which is probably overdue.

Between the late fees and donations (not to mention those nasty taxes), I should have at least a shelf at the local library named after me.

I'm shocked...

I'm showing the movie Apollo 13 to my Astronomy students this week and will be showing October Sky to my physics classes. How uneducational of me. :lol:

 

BTW...I have obtained videos from the library for use in my classes several times.

You're a cheapskate and a drain on society, Shame on you, when on your outlandish teacher's salary you could have purchased those movies at your expense, made copies for each student at your expense, handed them to your students and told them to watch them at home (they probably have the means to do so); and gotten to the task at hand - reading from Newton's Principia.

:laugh: I save Principia for my Astronomy 2 students.

You know you can show actual footage of the mission. BTW, what does this have to do with the library?

How cute.....totally expected....but cute.

Now, RTS... :lol: My example shows how movies can be educational. Your argument is that books are, but movies aren't.

 

We've watched quite a bit of the documentary When We Left Earth, which shows actual footage and interviews with astrononauts during the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and shuttle missions. The assignment that goes along with the movie deals with pointing out accurate representations and innaccuracies (very few in Apollo 13). Hollywood does get it correct, sometimes.

I could SO burst your rhetorical bubble right now.

That's fine, but lets be honest here, 99.9% of the movies checked out are solely for entertainment. I can't see "Wonder Woman : the complete second season" being used for education, can you?

Maybe an aviation class? Design of invisible planes?

I've been called consistent and predictable many times. I don't often get "cute" tossed my way.:thumb:
