Poll and question
Daily Kos University takes me about 2 hours. Is it worth it? I like finding these diaries, and often discover things, but it does take up a diary (only one a day!) and I want it to be useful ... so tell me how to make it better, and whether it should continue. Some of this is in the poll, but a lot will (I hope) be in your comments.
What I do is, each week, search for the tags 'teaching', 'learning', and 'education' and go through jotter's lists and the diary rescue for diaries that teach. Then I'll post the list, with perhaps some brief comment, and open the floor to people who want to learn something specific.
You can help me by tagging diaries with 'teaching' or 'learning' or 'education' when you see diaries that merit those tags, by reminding me of what I've missed, by recommending this diary, and by commenting.
I divide the list into "Regular series" and "Occasional diaries"
