2.0 Teaching Moment

Today I instructed a student regarding how to set up a Google Reads account and and add feeds to it. Yeah!

She expressed interest in keeping up with current newspapers, I suggested that may be the best way.

Subject Guides

Been diligent on updating, Beth M. really spearheads this effort-- I just hope to heaven someone pays attn. Should have them all fresh-loaded shortly, then Beth'll send out a faculty alert. Dare to dream: feedback?

From the National Weather Service

I decided to drop a line and check out peeps pages as momentary diversion-- before I had a complete melt down over some code...

Speaking of melting, seriously. SERIOUSLY! I went for a (power) walk last p.m. and, this may be t.m.i., I have never sweat so much in my life. UGH. Ugh. ugh.

It's really stultifying... Leaves me looking like a drowned rat and feeling my head's wrapped in cotton...

Summing it all up...

Well! I sure did learn a lot. And, I will likely keep using this space...

Maybe I didn't give 'em a fair shot.
