Performance Analysis in a Nutshell

This is what I am doing in my graduate class. At least I think it's what I'm doing...

The University of Panera

Since I can't connect to the live webcast for my two graduate classes from a computer on my school server, I have solved the problem by taking my wireless laptop to Panera Bread cafe. While my district's tech department attempts to figure out why I can't get on, I am actually enjoying classes at the University of Panera. They have great iced tea, soup, salad, and sandwiches. I sit down at 4:00 with my iced tea and a cup of soup. I plug in my laptop and my headphones. At 6:00, I get up, pack up my laptop, and order a salad or sandwich to take home. Not a bad way to go, really.

My (Our) New Toy - and you could win one!

Bought a FlipVideo at Costco today. Had to decide between white, black, orange and pink. Daughter #2 and I will be sharing this cool toy, I mean tool, as we are both in need of one for our graduate school assignments. Daughter #1 already has one for her vlog work, and you can enter her contest to win one if you want.

Yet Another Website I Made

This one to begin my Master's Program: Click here.

So far so good. I spent two hours "in class" today sitting at Panera in order to use their free wi-fi, since I can't get past my school district's firewall for the live webcast. Not bad, really. They have good iced tea...

A Very Interesting Video - Shift Happens

School Starts

School where I'm a teacher: The new classroom looks great, the new Science program looks awesome, and the new Gradebook program has been explained and demonstrated to the teachers. I'll meet the kids on Thursday.

School where I'm a student: It feels like my laptop is my classroom. My e-mail inbox is very busy, and I'll have to get comfortable with listservs and webcasts. Don't know if I'll ever meet these people in my class, but I'm sure glad I don't have to drive anywhere, find a parking place, etc.
