Thank you for participating and happy holidays to all!

Hi Everyone,
The semester is over here at Kennesaw State, so I just wanted to thank you all for participating in the blog conversations. I hope that both the Slovaks and the Americans have learned something about English studies in another context and about the lives and prospects of English (Education) majors in the other country. If you have any feedback, ideas, or suggestions related to this type of collaboration, please post here or email me at kgephard@kennesaw.edu
The blog will remain open for conversations, though.
I have seen a lot of enthusiasm for reading on both sides of the Atlantic, so I just wanted to share this little article:

Happy holidays to all of you!

Taking this elsewhere.

i would love to keep the communication open between these two classes.


my presence on the blog was minimal at best. that does not mean that i didn't read anyone's posts or comments. we have a rare chance to make new friends with people that we probably would never have met anywhere else so i am inviting all of you to join the group that i started. this is the message that i sent to my classmates:




i created a facebook group [the rough writers (Gephardt's Fall 2145)] so anyone interested is welcome to join, talk, share job information, or random things. you're already on facebook so its really only a click away.

All of the conversations our class has had led me to starting this. i liked the blog but i found it utterly unnavigable and since time is such a factor in my life (and probably is for all of you) i'm trying this. currently the only members are my wife and i because you can't start a group by yourself.


with the technology of today there is no reason to lose contact with anyone anymore. i hope to see you there.
