wish I could merge blogs.

I have two blogs, how do I link them so I only write once.

Physics class

So it is difficult to change in midstream, but hard not to when you are excited about something new.


I love Kelly O'Shea's new CVPM packet, but then John Burke's same packet with the Vpython comes along. THink that is called the computational thinking model.
I have worked at learning Python and completed 6 of the tutorials. Rush, get Vpython loaded my my students computers.
Sequence is probably off.

Whiteboarding throughout the unit. - doing better at that this year.

-Blinky car lab
-CVPM packet
-after ws 2 do Motion Detector Lab
-Quiz 1 (I don't grade but look at, comment and give back)
-Finish Packet
-Review worksheet from original ASU worksheets
-VOcabulary and what Kelly refers to Pokemon card description (I love this) for the unit
-Make up a problem as a class (each has to contribute something to the motion) and look at the models of that motion
-test
-COlliding Cars
-Vpython (if it all loaded by then).
Hope to do better on my sequence next year.

So I will spend my year behind....

I see the value in it all.

Something new every year after 50.

I wonder. Who reads these?
It is spring, my son is home from Iraq for his two week leave.
I found that my ramps are coming up. The ones I planted last year.
Need to check my Shitakes.
Hope my Jerusalem Artichokes come.
So many things to grow!!!

My first post on this

If I had one thing to say, it would be Life is Precious, from conception to natural death.
