Morning focus meh but there’s an art/ resistance somethign at a local brewery from 2-7 and it’s just the right ride distance away, which INSPIRED me. I got that bike ride brochure done and yes, went and applied to the Desmos Cohort 5. No, I haven’t done a *thing* in Desmos but I’m going […]

Last Saturday I was between naps about now; I listened to the entire “Ask Me Another” show lacking the energy to turn it off. Not today! Caffeine and warmer temperatures help 🙂 Winter will come back Wednesday… what insanity will the news be bringing? Students get next Thursday off for our annual “professional development […]

Let’s eat speech recognition work here. LOL Well it works better than it did on my laptop, Without headset. I am always going to prefer typing, thank you. However, other people would benefit from learning speech recognition. Yes, I was suspicious when the laptop worked fine with Word and not at all w/ blog. […]

Welp, I’ve been curious about Khan Academy. How has it evolved? A student came in just before my lunch hour and the “support class” to get their skills up has them having accounts with it, and they’re working on integers. Ugh. Ugh. There’s still the pervasive jumping to “fascinating” permutations of a concept … when […]

I *did* get some stuff done of the evening but not with any efficiency. Stuck in the “well, I’m working on it, isn’t that good enough?” which is different than “hey, I have a deadline, let’s get this done.” Tomorrow’s Thursday which sometimes has a window of opportunity… I got things less visually confusing. I […]

If deja vu is the feeling you’ve been there before… what is it when you go back and see an old blog and realize that oh! There’s proof you’ve been here before, but you forgot? I invented the term “cognitive frontloading” back in 2013 watching our computer science professor work us through object reference variables. […]
