I’m Baaaaaack! Took break due to…..

…MENTAL EXHAUSTION! Instead of blogging, I’ve been hitting the pavement exercising both running and cycling. However, this summer I will work on a life balance and factor blog writing in the equation.

Now that testing and the 2013-14 academic school is finally over, I can do some reflection and planing for the next school year. Some summer projects I would like to work on:

• Integration of fitness and nutrition with current CCSS math curriculum (especially since it a part of the health literacy component of the 21st century framework )
• Delve into the hype of Rasberry Pi and make “heads or tails” of it
• Decide to either use my Edmodo, Moodle or iTunes-U with my classes.
• Work on a EdTech publication! It’s time to share with the world all of the useful knowledge in my head
• Either dye or pluck out all of the gray hair from my head due to stress (just kidding)

I am planning to attend to CMS Summer Institute (#CMSSI14) for two weeks. I am a little excited about this conference and of course I will share my excitement here. Enough of my rambling, let me get back to boxing up my classroom…

Pack rat powers, activate!

 

 

 

What is the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protests really about?

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. Martin Luther King Jr.

Just like you, I’ve been watching on television hearing about the Occupy Wall Street protest movement. Honestly, I do not understand why those guys are demonstrating civil disobedience however this clip below of Chris Savvinidis makes it crystal clear about their message. And oh yeah, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
