Well, another year of teaching interns is upon me. Kim and I are busy updating the resources on our academy’s website, fine tuning our lecture schedules, making presentations to our funding sponsors, making sure all our equipment is working properly (we are, after all, distance educators), making sure our new interns are getting their resumes in and, in essence, getting all our ducks in a row. I am, to say the least, a little stressed at the moment. Not to mention exhausted.
My pretty new work toy!
I am also re-arranging my work area to make room for some new equipment I’ll be utilizing for my IT Essentials class this year. I’m so excited! It’s a document camera that attaches to my computer via USB cable. It works just like a document projector only it’s digital! Instead of a mirror and lamp, it has a 5MP digital camera with 8X optical zoom. I just place whatever document, or in my case, computer component I want the students to see up close onto the platform and zoom in. The students will see it on my shared computer screen! It’s brilliant! Totally can’t wait to unleash it’s awesomeness on my students!
So yeah. That’s my day. Covered in dust and completely stressed out. Actually, I’ve been covered in dust for the past few days. My daughter has finally had enough. She has declared that she is too old to share a room with my nephew. lol My sister and I finally gave in and agreed. She’s 10 and he’s 5, so there is a bit of an age gap between them. So we’ve moved my daughter into a room of her own. Of course, this has given me the opportunity to some massive cleaning (OH HAI THERE DUST BUNNIES WAI UNDER THE BEDS!), and of course, now my daughter’s allergies are acting up.
And tonight, I’m going home to pick berries.
Oh, and did I mention, Melissa got me a gig as co-wedding photographer at one of her friend’s wedding this weekend? It’s been an interesting week.
