I was familar with some of these ideas but this reminded me to put a little more effort. I have had a hard time getting discussion interaction with most of my students and its possible that they would feel a little more comfortable if they knew more about me than just "I've been welding for 40 years".
I will look into providing the BIO and asking the students to do the same when and if we start up in the fall. I plan on shifting much of our classroom threory time to online and maximizing our shop time.
