Yeoman educator. Teaching and writing at the nexus of media, culture, psyche, language, society, tech, history, sport. Academic stuff here. All else @michael_k

Students, your teacher is not your boss. We're here to facilitate your learning. You are actually your own boss. That's why uni is hard. https://t.co/a2ktCkd7xG

I hope one day to write a footnote this good. https://t.co/tt2y6f10wN

@klerner That'll probably happen too, if I can afford to wait the 2 hours at Pugsley's. Some of us don't live around the corner, y'know.

I hope you, near-future student, appreciate what I do for the sake of aesthetics.

Today's apparently the day I decided I'm re-doing all my syllabi in InDesign instead of plain old Word. Without really knowing InDesign.

We could and should just as easily talk about the meaning of "flops" - if they really were/are. Like Darko. Great piece here. https://t.co/EbU6blFGOg

I have Sports Comm students @Mville_College write a short piece on "The Meaning of ____" (some athlete.) Often someone successful, iconic.

@SJ_AB No I don't. But I was able to resolve my issue with a phone call. Thanks!

[Michael Koch @MichaelHKoch]

@SJ_AB Hello, I've got a question about a booking I made and need to change. What's the best way to contact a rep in English?

[Michael Koch @MichaelHKoch]

@KeithStrudler @montclairstateu Congrats! Hope I get to run into you around Montclair now and then come fall.

Annual mid-summer I-should-do-more-with-my-academic-Twitter mood. I should do more with my academic Twitter. Help me figure out what.

[Michael Koch @MichaelHKoch]

Err Columbia Sportswear your stuff's fine, your ads are cute, but maybe not this the day after peaceful DAPL protests got the water-cannons.

Developing a pitch: "It's like Netflix-meets-Uber...for critical life-saving medical devices!" Hit me up, VCs. https://t.co/FhC1siapA3

Mylan tries again to quell pricing outrage by offering generic #EpiPen. How generous of them. Still 3x original cost https://t.co/iU8iJNSW0K
