Todd’s Blog

What a loooong week. I’ve been knocked down with a bout of pneumonia. Got very little done, missed school and class this week. Just today I finally felt like I had enough strength to sit down at a computer and try and get caught up. I checked my Google Reader only to find I was behind 52 blog posts. One week! After browsing through a few, I see I have lots to comment on. I’ve also looked at the google docs notes by Kyle. Interesting. I can see a use for this when groups a collaborating on research (in fact I have an opportunity to use it right away). I started listening to the session with George Seimens, but apparently won;t have time to finish today. Interruptions by family and ill staff members (as VP it’s my job to find subs – seems like others are going down with cold and flu like symptoms) will keep me from getting done today. Luckily I think I have a quiet week ahead so I’ll have to burry myself in front of the computer. One week. Look at how fast technology piles up in one week. Leads me to question it’s no wonder teachers get frustrated and feel they don’t have enough time. All it takes are a couple of sick days, and you can spend the next 2 weeks trying to catch up. I remember reading a post that someone essentially said teachers make excuses that they are too busy. From where I’m sitting right now, I will definitely be challenging that thought. For now, it’s off too bed. No sense getting overtired and sick again. I can’t afford another missed day.
