So, 1:20 I unboxed it, pics to come. Now to try to install software. Okay, here’s what I get trying to type it in — the url is something else. Let’s try with fewer typos? (it turned into scanmaker, not scanmarker — they prob’ly should have bought that one and redirected. next try? 404, file […]

So it really looks like I will have several sessions with oh, a solid hour or so with some young adults … to boost their math confidence and skills. (They’ll also work on reading but we’ve got Reading Plus for that. We *don’t* have Modumath any more 😦 😦 ) The program they’re in is […]

So! I called back the person I chatted w/ yesterday and it turns out last week they had chatted with our vp about a “partnership.” Now those folks hadn’t talked to me — but then I thought, “of course not, they’d do this through GED and adult ed.” But I sent an email to said […]

Got an email from yaymath.org — a moderately pithy thing 😉 so I went to the site and oh! That might be a good model for an “online course for other people to use.” They charge for it (basically 300 bucks for 3 courses so if you were a teacher, that’s meeting a lot of […]

Okay, it’s nine days into the year but Classes Start TOmorrow. Will weigh the risks of riding the bus with the potential for connecting with students. I did a reply on FB with a plug for Ss to go to library for school supplies pantry… so, while I’m pretty sure it’s covered, my plan is […]

First a story! Yesterday I waited for the bus inside, and let a driver in (this is the end of several routes and it’s got indoor bathrooms!) because the unlocked door is around the corner. My bus arrived and a young man stepped off and was walking my way so I told him the unlocked […]

So, yes, on teams I’m noting that I know my place and don’t own anything, and referred to a “Three DFY day!” standing for Daily F* Y* which is, I’m sure, what gets the “I should behave professionally” comment on that eval. Guess what 😛 When I’m just not included in permissions for anything, not […]
