So on this “down day” after the conference, getting ready for … the “moonlight ride for ice cream” in 50 degree weather tonight… and, okay, postponing the climb back into figuring out how to make apps… I wandered back to the Atlantic Seaboard Dyslexia Education Center and their training in math. Landmark College and Chris […]

Okey dokey, if I’m going to do this more (there’s a topic for prayer and reflection) I’m going to have to get better with the tech stuff. WHat? SUe? Get better with the tech stuff? Aren’t you the one who is always helping everybody else? Yea, but when I have to process a presentation […]

So at the end of the day I talked to a poster session guy b/c my friend was helping with that poster session, not because I know anything about etexts or need to. Except when he found out I have an LD background he stopped me and said “we want to figure otu ways to […]

I took a different route home tonight on the bicycle because Cleo the cocker spaniel is missing, so I rode through her neighborhood, calling her name occasionally (but recognizing that I wouldn’t be the voice she knew).

Saying that reminds me that no, we […]

So a “thing” at work is planning a lunch with somebody in a different department (voluntary). I just dined with the main librarian and mostly we talked about bicycling but on the last stretch walking to the stairs we speculated on the challenges of the library being so far away from the tutoring center. […]

I know “learning styles” is No Longer Cool To Talk About, though those same people probably wouldn’t say “no, everybody learns the same way.” I guess as long as “style” isn’t in the discussion… … and I’m thinking when going over my presentation that this is an example of efficiency being paramount.

So I went to a site for COABE (adult ed) resources. I get a neat link to a thing about prepping for the new high school equivalency tests, which are no longer limited to the GED but which all are harder and have lots of obstacles to passing that only serve as obstacles to […]

http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2015/05/22/407947554/how-do-you-motivate-kids-to-stop-skipping-school This article is about a school that gave rewards for attendance. It worked for a lot of kids for the 38 days that it ran. Unlike how things usually go around here, the school folks didn’t just get their publicity folks out to announce and applaud the improvement; they looked at what happened […]
