Sunday

Grading papers and doing laundry. Joy.

Another post.

Trying out my new iphone4!!! Finally upgraded from the (ancient) original model.

SEE Team goes to New Orleans

SEE Team went to New Orleans to do ecological restoration during the summers of 2007, 2008, and 2009. We kept blogs. Want to learn more about our trips?

This is cool.

I like this Posterous thing.  I like being able to post from email. SWEEEEET.

POSTEROUS!

Check out my posterous account at http://jwaldock.posterous.com/

I started a Posterous account as my Thing #1 for 17 Things to Chew On. I hadn't really heard about Tumblr or Posterous prior to today. I had seen "Tumblr" referenced on various websites and what not but never understood that these sites are like mini-blogs. I like the idea of not having to always log into the blog itself to make a post. Having the flexibility to post short blasts from my phone or email is great. I can literally post on the run! (Now I just need to get a group of followers who will actually care about what I post)!

Perhaps that group could be students! I could see using this Posterous account to post interesting things that are happening in the math world, education world, or pop-culture world. Things that might interest my students. I could require them to have an account that would allow them to make comments to my posts. Hmmm....we'll see where this goes.

For now - enjoy a few random pictures of former SEE Team students, my nephew Sam, and me, currently in the RB lab working on this post!

17 Things --- ROUND 2!!!

Well, here I go again. 17 Things to Chew On, Round Dos.

I am excited for the challenge that this strand brings.

thing 13 - animoto!

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

Ooh - I love animoto! How cool! SEE Team has been talking (for five years?) about making a commercial to show incoming 8th graders and possibly run on RBTV and what not. Well, what do you know? Voila! This took maybe ten minutes to create! I know I can make it better but for 10 minutes, this is awesome!

#10 - The Thing is Ning!

Hello -

I'm ning-ing as Jen Waldock at jwaldock.ning.com. I'm a little overwhelmed with the set-up because I'm so used to the way Facebook looks but I'm up for something new! I don't think I'll use Ning for educational purposes this year but I suppose there is some value to it. I like what RB16 is doing - great job, you guys! If I ran a club or organization I might set up a Ning account to manage my students.

Thing 11

I love that this "thing" is something I've already been doing on my own for a few months. I joined Shelfari first, but then a friend said she liked "Goodreads" better, so I'm a member of both but have been updating Goodreads more. I am "jennifer" at jwaldock@gmail.com on Goodreads. Find me!
