Teaching a class from the front
Mike Boettcher, a University of Oklahoma graduate, pitched an idea to President David Boren — he wanted to teach a journalism class from the front lines in Iraq.
Boettcher said Boren was receptive, as were administrators at OU's Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Students will communicate with Boettcher via teleconference for the class, which will be offered jointly through OU's journalism college and the international studies department.
