Ever since I started using powerpoint I find it is easier to incorporate
cartoons into my lectures--the old overheads just got to be tooooo
many and then they'd all get messed up and stick together and I tended
to try to minimize so I didn't use them--except maybe on exams!
So I am looking for comics and cartoons. Since I don't have a good
grasp of email other than pine, I would appreciate if anyone has any
favorites they have cut out of the newspaper if they could send me a
(decent) photocopy just by snail mail.
I wouldn't mind putting together a 'compendium' except that I think that
that would violate some copyright laws or others. I am going by the
ignorant assumption that if I just use a few here and there in class
for my own personal use I am "safe". If anyone knows differently let
me know and I will gladly put them together and mail out to whomever.
In particular there are two I cannot find in my files that I know I
used to have--if anyone has these, I'd really appreciate a copy. They
are both farside by Larson and one shows all the forest animals relating
their flashbulb memories of the shooting of Bambi's mother. The other
one shows a really nerdy looking kid in a classroom getting ready to
launch an 'attention-getting' device. I've perused several farside
collections at our local library and could not find these :-(.
I did find another new great one--gosh this guy is smart about psych--
It has a cleaning woman in an office with all her cleaning equipment
on a cart and there is a desk and a box and the door is left hanging
open with the logo, "Primate Research Lab". There is a banana hanging
from the ceiling and the cleaning lady is jumping up trying to get
the banana. A nice take off on Kohler's chimps--problem solving using
elements in the environment and stacking them to get the banana.
I'll use it when I get to problem-solving and talk about insight
in my cognitive lecture!
Since I teach intro and cognitive and memory, pretty much anything
to do with psych will do!
thanks
