So, here I am two weeks into the new year and I’ve yet to get started on my new year’s resolution. I thought I was getting ahead of the game by writing up some podcast scripts after Christmas, but now they seem kind of dated and, well, I can’t find them. Oh, well. All things …

That’s right, I’m podcasting again! And how about that, this isn’t even a horrible recorded-in-the-car-using-a-cell-phone-cast, either! I won’t speak for everyone, but for me December is a time to look back on the past year and ask “Where did the time go?” Of course it’s also a time to look forward and ask “Wait, I …
DVD Sub Plans
I know what you’re thinking: DVD sub plans? What am I, nuts?! Well what if the DVD isn’t some Disney movie you got from Blockbuster the day before? (This happened to me more than once when I was a sub years ago.) What if the DVD relates directly to the curriculum the students are covering …
Follow Up On My Rant
Now I’m not saying that they read my little rant about their last newsletter (although who knows?), but this month’s Discovery Education Streaming newsletter’s survey question involved writing a sentence rather than selecting a single choice. Oh, the question? It was: How would you describe in one sentence what Discovery Education provides the education community? …
Not enough answers
Discovery Education Streaming has a monthly newsletter that (I’m assuming) they mail out to all the DEN members. This month’s newsletter seemed rather brief (perhaps I’m just confusing it with a different monthly email from Discovery – one that had Steve Dembo‘s picks in it), but the thing that got me was a survey question …

Now I’ve used cameras to help me teach all kinds of subject areas, and I have ideas for even more ways to use …

Good News, Bad News
Just a short update, as I don’t want this to become a “medical maladies” blog.  I wouldn’t be posting this here at all if it wasn’t for the one I wrote yesterday, since I don’t want to leave anyone hanging. My wife is home and doing better, after they adjusted a bunch of the medications …
Bad News, Good News
Bad news: This morning instead of going to school, I took my wife to the hospital for high blood pressure. (Her medication isn’t fixing the problem.) Good news: This hospital provides free wi-fi. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such a service offered by a medical institution, and I’ve been in a lot of …
