Behold, I am blogging.
I'll put the exciting stuff first, and the reflection stuff last. That way if you fall asleep half way through, you won't be missing much. :)
Today I did something new. I posted a video on YouTube! A video of MY FACE, guys (insert emoji guy with the blue forehead and melting face). It was just the beginning-of-class announcements that I usually say out loud for each of my 3 periods, but now I only have to say it once and make better use of my voice and time.
Ok, fine. Due to outtakes, I actually ended up saying it 14 times. But it can only get better from here, right?*
Some goals I have for the month are to start a badging system for reading skills, and to set up my class on the free version of Canvas**. This is, of course, in addition to my life goal of SOMEDAY GETTING CAUGHT UP WITH ALL OF MY GRADING.
Same as every Christmas break before, I am so incredibly happy to not have to work for two whole weeks. Then on the last Thursday night, I'm like dying to be a productive human again. That is, until Sunday night, when I beg the universe for a Christmas Break Do-Over. I'm so hard to please.
I suppose I should give credit where it's due. I actually have a private blog where I really air out all my dirty laundry, but AJ Juliani challenged teachers to start a blog and share it publicly. So, here is my public, clean-laundry-only blog. Please enjoy.
*No, really. In one of my outtakes, I ended the video by saying, LET'S START THE YEAR WITH A BANG! Then I died of shame. It has to get better from here.
