  1. @misscalcul8 as long as the 1's and 2's are lined up, do whatever you like (I actually teach it that way)
  2. http://twitpic.com/q8rtx Noooooooooo....
  3. pleasantly surprised by the grades my kids got on their linear programming test... looks like I did something right!
  4. @misscalcul8 I deal with relative dates -- late work for me is 2 class periods after they return. I also put it on them to remember :)
  5. @misscalcul8 mine are on mondays, but similar idea.. only I hit them up three times so they are (allegedly) retaining concepts for 3-4 weeks
  6. @misscalcul8 i switched to concept grading this year -if you tame it, it's nice. i'm not a fan of unlimited chances tho.http://bit.ly/4aDKdU
  7. note to self: not reading twitter for 4 days makes me feel like I missed out... that damn "real life" getting in the way again... hmph!
  8. @misscalcul8 ..and don't take their lack of motivation/organization as a sign that you're not teaching them.. you're only one person! :)
  9. @misscalcul8 was following your discussion on late work.. I agree with @samjshah -- they should be proactive and responsible :)
  10. @misscalcul8 I have a folder for each course, then one for "Classroom docs", another for administrative, and another for college rec's.
  11. new blog post: http://wp.me/pDI6m-F (on finally feeling like I am on track)
  12. @misscalcul8 @k8nowak GWave has the potential to be something amazing.. right now I agree.. looks like real-time twitter/IM.. still beta tho
  13. @misscalcul8 I'm liking your approachand slides.. hope it works for your students! and for you! :)
  14. time to start up my second 2-day week of the week...
  15. cleaning up my google reader -- any feeds that you recommend I add? (tell me your own blogs. i don't mind. probably reading them already!)
  16. new blog post: http://wp.me/pDI6m-C
  17. @misscalcul8 I saw something like this happen in Moodle on Macs when we used Safari instead of Firefox... don't know if that helps..
  18. felt inspired: New Blog Post remembering some of the highlights from the last couple years http://wp.me/sDI6m-smile (@misscalcul8 @samjshah)
  19. @misscalcul8 hang in there! i like @samjshah 's idea.. remind yourself of the positive things.. there will be plenty more!
  20. @misscalcul8 yea, that's a tough one. fair = write up students if their behavior warrants it.. whether you like them or not..been there.. :(
