Beware the ides of March (almost)

Today - not a lot of time b/c subbing for stu teacher. Main goals, spruce up research project materials and perhaps camtasia the whole thing. Grade study guides and old JP stuff to wrap up that part of life. Try to work on Walter's grades and V - Examview dumped a few grades, including the stinkin' final exam. Ay-yi. Anyway, T is working to update my computers right now so we can visit all the library research databases. NoodleTools is running painfully slow on my class computers (even with Vision off). Lot's of crazy tech stuff. But if I'm caught up on grades by the end of the day and comfortable with the students' place on the research paper, it will be good. Tomorrow I have a sub for the afternoon b/c of a student council convention. So I also better have a plan in place. Well - gotta move, then. But it pains me to see this become more of a to do list than a place to formulate bigger picture ideas about curriculum and technology integration. I mean, of course I've got stuff to grade, but where is a cogent statement on the interactive blending of data-collection strategies with fun, interactive, engaging, and inquiry-based instruction? Who has time? Who talks like that anyway?

Later...
