Two new wheelsets get installed next week, and after that, the car is pretty much ready for the road. The fall schedule is the busiest in the PV Mount Vernon’s 10-year operating history: a Labor Day deep-discount weekend trip, the AAPRCO convention in Tennessee and North Carolina, a public trip over Columbus Day weekend, followed by two cross-country charters. I’m going to be working crew on the AAPRCO trip, and I’ll be teaching four class sessions online while the trip is running. Ironically, one of the classes is a graduate division class on new media teaching and learning, and we’ll be covering blogging and social media in class.
