Nine Minutes

All I can give myself is nine minutes. It seems long gone are the days when I could try out any new initiatives. I'm just trying to keep the novel going and stay ahead of the kids with study guides and quizzes. Ay yi yi. I'd like to try out the team game with CPS for a review of the third iteration. But I'd need to plug in all the questions tonight. What are the odds?

I'm meeting about eSchoolPlus tomorrow to see how the teacher interface works. I'm not a big fan of the Sunguard software that we use now, so it's a bit ironic that I would pilot it. Nonetheless... I will. So I need a sub for the morning, I need to be ready to duck out to do a quick reading lab at the tail end of the presentation, I need to connect with V if she's in tomorrow (which will make sub-plans simpler), I need a Third Iteration Quiz (which would be the same question bank as the game if I ever pull it off). Hey, if I don't pull off the game it means I don't have a question bank which means I don't have a quiz! So then I'm really in trouble. Also, no study guide questions for pages 181-197. Geez, do I do anything around here? Ok, so I got grades updated today and taught and made materials and all that... Late start day, too, and we watched a demo of Noodle Tools. I liked one of the NoodleTools links on visual literacy. Where's that been my whole life... But really, I haven't done anything with vislit for about a year and a half. Seems like there ought to be more time in a day.

Off to pick up all the kids so gotta run. I never mention what I read on the Blog. Wonder why? I mean, it's tangentially related to education so really would fit on the site. Maybe I'll start next time. Michael Pollan - The Botany of Desire. But only for another day or so...
