  17. @penphoe It's fine in Chrome, so long as the students keep the number of replies down.
  18. @ktalamantes My grades are important to me, even though they won't effect my job, or really my ability to start a PHD later. Why?
  19. Just noticed that I'm checking on the progress of my grades daily for my Masters degree. Realized I need to finish student grading asap.
  20. Set up a Google Wave in my class for collaboration on recreating last year's quiz on current unit. One student cheered when I announced it.
