Two classes at once...Not such a good thing!

What a long week it is has been! Music class, father-in-law in town, friend's wedding, and starting a new master's class. Just a bit much for one week. I feel like I haven't seen my family in days, which would actually be about right. Oh, also add swollen feet from being on them so much longer than normal.

I still need to put the finishing touches on my webquest and now I have three new assignments from the new class. I think a "personal" day sounds really good right now, but oh wait, I have no extra days to take off!!!!! Just a bit stressed now.

New phone, new technology...

It is exciting to have the latest phone and to know nothing about it! My students think I am old and that I need their help...what can I say, they are right. However, I have learned how to blog from my phone, so I must be catching on.

It's a Girl!

This may not be related to school or technology, but we just found out that we are having a girl! I am thrilled, even though I would have been thrilled with another boy. Now my mind seems to think only of baby names...any ideas? We are testing them on our son to see if he can say them and what it sounds like to say both of the names together...this only makes me more side tracked than before!

What Happened to My Technology?

So I started out working diligently on my master's classes, but I seem to have fallen behind. I feel like a hypocrite when telling my students to stay current on work and make sure to work on projects a little at a time. I guess it is time to follow my own advice.

I have researched the use of Web posters, which are pretty neat. I am anxious to try the webquest with my double block English I class. These students need more hands-on projects. I believe my school also has access to FrontPage, so I am hoping to use this is upload my webquest. I have had several comments on my webpage, which I hope to transfer to FrontPage. It would be great to have parent/student access to assignments on line.

Now that Labor Day is over, maybe things will slow down...oh, wait, it is only going to get worse from here! Time to practice time management.
