Web Presence


"But those dreams had tumbled down the stairs, and M had no intention of picking them up again--ever."  Tinfoil Sky by Cyndi Sand-Eveland

In order to prepare myself for the reality of going back to school, I attended a technology training session today.  It was entitled Web Presence.  To be honest, I really wanted to attend the Web Presents seminar, but it wasn't offered.  Although there were no presents, it reminded me of the difficulty of being a teacher.  The class was made up of teachers, but we all were at different levels.  While I was annoyed because he was talking to much, and I was ready to move on, another teacher was two steps behind.  Teaching is difficult.  While the "teacher" did a good job because everyone walked away with a website made from the beginnings and not a template, all of the students were not "happy".  Perhaps, I learned something today about more than creating a web presence.  It is important to make sure everyone in the class learns and leaves with increased knowledge.  Initially, some students will be a bit annoyed, and some students will be lost.  The trick is to make sure everyone walks out with the knowledge they need.  It's a process. 

I did receive presents today.  Tinfoil Sky arrived in my mailbox.  It's another YA book that brought tears to my eyes.  Now, I will use my web presence to blog about the book on the VVM book blog.

someone else told me about this book. I should probably read it.

I like your thoughts about the web class. I attended a brief garage band thing recently and we were all over the place. I would have preferred one on one tutoring, but it really wasn't available.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
