Getting their attention

One night I was lecturing at University of Phoenix. As I'm writing oh-so-fascinating equations on the whiteboard, the students start looking out the window at something. A wreck on the interstate, firetrucks, who knows? I mean, it's inconceivable that anything could distract them from algebra, but apparently it did...

So I continued my lecture by writing on the window.

My students seemed to enjoy that. Though dry erase markers don't contrast nearly as well on a transparent surface as House would have you believe.
