I was reading the NCTE Inbox newsletter and I found an article from The Chronicle of Higher Education about a text-to-video website called Xtranormal. Before I knew the article was about the practical application of Xtranormal in the classroom (I thought it was about the challenges of English Ph.D. students) I knew I wanted to use this as a teaching tool.
In the mean time I used the website as a recruitment tool for the residence life program at Saint Joseph’s college to get a larger selection of RA candidates.
