I must confess I'm sometimes out of touch. I started blogging a bit over a year ago, but I know very little about the blogging "culture." I recently received a blogging tag in my E-mail from a blogger I read a few times a week. Joel is a music teacher in Texas who runs a blog called "So You Want to Teach". He has asked me to post some responses to questions and to invite a few other bloggers to do the same. He also suggested I get an RSS feed for my blog. At 32, I should know this high-tech stuff, but I don't know what RSS is!
I know very few bloggers, so I'm not sure how well I'll do about contacting other bloggers. I'll do my best to answer the questions.
1) What was I doing 10 years ago?
10 years ago was 1998. This was the year I student taught and finished up college.
2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):
- Write a few quizzes for Friday
- Get a rough draft of my Biology test done
- Show my Physics class how to do some spreadsheet work
- Meeting with the NCA accreditation team at my school
- Proof-read the keys to my Chemistry assignments
3) Snacks I enjoy:
Coffee, fruit (not much of a snacker)
4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
- Travel (especially around North Dakota and back to the Southwest. Possibly also to Poland.
- Select (anonymous) donations to my college, certain religious groups
- Build a small but decent house
- Invest my money intelligently before I get stupid and spend it all
5) Three of my bad habits:
- I read too much (and it stops me doing my work)
- Procrastination (see #1)
- Not putting things away
6) 5 places I have lived:
- Central Pennsylvania
- North Central Pennsylvania
- Western Pennsylvania
- Central and Northern North Dakota
- Western North Dakota, near the Edge of the Earth
7) 5 jobs I have had:
- Fast food worker (counter, grill, pizza, ice cream)
- Janitor
- Lab Assistant
- Computer repair and advice
- Physics Tutor
8) 6 peeps I wanna know more about:
It's a good thing there were examples. I did not know the word "peep" except in the chicken sense! I don't know that many bloggers in the education world.
PublicSchoolConservative
He has not posted much yet, but I hope he does.
Death of a Noble Profession
Occasionally a bit depressing, but he cares about kids.
You might see a few non-education links elsewhere on this page. Apparently I have a lot to learn about the blogging world!
