Class Work...

This is how much class work I got done yesterday...........ZERO! Uggh...

Basic Formula for an Excel Gradebook

My students do a daily reflection on how they performed in class, and they keep in Excel as a gradebook. I showed my 7th and 8th graders how to do a basic formula in the gradebook today--and they got it. I'm wondering about ways to teach math with Excel...

Championship Monday

Lost a humiliation bet to a friend tonight on the championship game. Now my colleague gets to design a shirt that I have to wear at school for a day. It'll probably be PINK. Can you say Teacher Workday loophole?!? The Spartans were outmatched by a determined opponent tonight. Sad.

Moving video from Windows to a Mac

Workaround if your Mac won't import video from your camera. 

1. Import video to Windows Movie Maker in .avi format instead of .wmv. 
2. Drag it to a flash drive and onto a Mac. 
3. From the File menu of your iMovie, select Import. 
4. Navigate to your video on the flash drive. 
5. Wa-la!
   

Quick Fix 1

Fixed an overhead screen with packing tape this afternoon. It doesn't stand a chance of working. Oh well. My engineering degree from Jerryrig University has already been conferred.

They can't have it back.

Workout 4 is History

That was sure fun. Uggh. Added pull-ups to the circuit.

That went well. Double Uggh.

Workouts

I have my 4th workout with Perform-X this afternoon. The first three have been nothing short of humiliatingly tough. It's good for me. Bad for my already delicate ego, but good for me.

Facebook

Apparently, before yesterday, I was one of about three people on planet Earth that was NOT on Facebook. Now I'm on--and I really think that it's a full-time job just maintaining your presence there. Oh well, teaching, doctoral work, coaching and reffing were easy! :-)

Blogging Like A Man, and just as often, too.

I haven't taken the time to blog here as much lately. I am doing a teacher training on blogging this afternoon. I figured I should at least have a recent post as an example. If you are in the training and you would like to comment on your session or the training, in general, please do so with the link below.

Super Husband Never Sleeps

Saturday was long.

I coached basketball practice from 8:00-9:30 AM; drove 1.5 hours to officiate a 1:30 PM high school football game; drove back home to attend a 4-hour Top Cat and Tails function by the LC Humane Society with the wife. Back home at 11:00 PM.

Longest. Day. Of my life.
