I kind of like blogging..

So I've done this for a couple weeks and I really enjoy taking a mooment out to get my thoughts together. But I don't have much time to celebrate the quiet reflection time...

So, here it is. I made a cool menu-type camtasia but it doesn't work. I think it's too big so I'm shrinking it down. I'll link to it from here if I ever get it to work... Right now I'm redoing it on the other computer. Also, I asked for more space for my network drive and I'm sure that's a go. That should help. Also, Genevalogic (a good product for lab monitoring software) has an upgrade for Surflock so now I'm begging tech to let me install it and see if it's all good. There's now some clamoring for access to the scanner - and for good reason. It's an awesome tool. Also, I met yesterday with Foreign Language (i guess since this is public i won't use people's names) and talked about Quia. Pretty cool ideas. I was inspired and came back and updated my three quia games (synonyms, antonyms, and definitions) to include all 55 words that we've covered so far. Also, I introduced new grammar (clauses) in class and then did CPS with the class (p2) on 16 problems so that they could try out the new skill (and a little phrase review). Actually, class was packed. Quiz speak part 4, intro grammar, CPS 16 grammar questions, Show Camtasia video on finding and saving images, sounds, and songs, remind them to bring USB drive for the next day or two. I created new seating charts for p7 and p10 and now I want to update CPS so I better get to it!

Side note - two grant applications. One from Geneva - write an essay and get a license for free. One from IRA (not the Irish Republlican Army) but it's reading based to I'll have to see what I can do. The main grant proposal is unassigned but implied - I need to make a presentation that will convince the Board to buy new computers and at least retool this lab if not setting up more. I HAVE TO DO THAT, even though nobody's asking for it. I bet there's a lot of money in the world...But not so much time. Back to work.
