My demo is over. Praises be. I hope it was smoother than it felt…Peyten was right when she reminded us that we are our own worst critics, though, so I’ll let it go. I feel like the sequel to that movie “Waiting to Exhale” now that this is off my back.
I don’t know why I was so nervous, but I always get that way with colleagues or *gulp* superiors. I’m not shy; it makes no sense for me to actually lose my breath. I sometimes do that in front of kids if a lesson isn’t going right. Weird manifestations of fear and anxiety like that are really annoying. Thanks for sticking with me folks.
Will I actually use blogs for every student? I have no idea. We’re moving to A-B for 9th grade next year, which i have some practice with and find effective in most senses. However, when sharing computer labs with the rest of the English dep’t on this schedule can be a thorn in the butt of everyone else. I ran into that with my Freshman Focus classes at the end of the year last year. We had online projects that took three days, but on alternating day schedule, I had to Debo six lab days. This infuriated quite a few people, but what was I to do?
I used the lab a lot last year, and i want to do even more things with technologynext year, so I guess i’ll just have to anger people. It’s for a good cause.
