    Anyone For Tennis? Jonathan Waxes Metaphorical on the Game of Hosting
    POSTED BY JONATHAN TORRENS AT 4:00 PM 04/06/2011

    You know how they say in a tennis match you're only as good as the person you're playing against?

     

    Well, on the "Ennis Match" that is Wipeout Canada, I feel blessed to be playing opposite Ennis Esmer (even if I'd like to backhand him from time to time). He makes my game better -- and I just hope our relationship is love-love. (Editor's note: Let's call it a double bagel.) 

     

    When you think about it, the producers of Wipeout Canada had myriad options for "duo dynamics" as far as the hosts could go. Just look at the proud tradition of TV's comedic twosomes: Niles/Frasier, Fresh Prince/DJ Jazzy Jeff, Larry/Balki, Anderson Cooper/Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Lindsay Lohan/Sanity...

     

    Suffice to say, it can be a delicate dance. In this case, I genuinely get a kick out of Ennis. He makes me laugh... and I know he'll do the same for you.

    Blogs are a great source to iofrnm students of the teachers upcoming assignments,calendars and hold class discussions. The students can reply and have on line discussions allowing them to see others point of view; this allowing the student to see how others view and look at the subject or assignments.I believe that technology should be intergrated in the classroom, because this is the age of the computer, and students can have interaction with virtual reality with subjects and this would allow field trips without leaving the classroom and allowing student to a hands experience and the technology can make a subject more interesting for the students and also allowing individual expressions and students can work a pace that is comfortable for them unless there is a group project. The technology intergration is also important for the students, because it also will prepare them for the workforce, because computers are used everywhere and this would familiarize the students with usage and computer experience. I would use blogs in the classrooms to hold oline discussions, to deliver assignments, announcements, events, and others class iofrnmation. A link to another class in any part of the world to form online book clubs and etc, debates, show examples of good writings, and even create a a class newpapers the uses of blogs in the class are endless.
