Final lesson this semester

I taught my final lesson of the semester today. It was over box-and-whisker plots, so not the most exciting stuff. BUT, I think the kids actually enjoyed it! :) I had a cool anticipatory set planned where the students created a human box-and-whisker plot, and I was nervous that it would be a little chaotic.  It went over much better than I thought it would! The students were very engaged and seemed to understand the concept.  This lead to a fairly smooth class period.  Ya, I didn't get through everything I wanted to, but that's part teaching. You have to be able to adapt and move to plan B if necessary.  We'll pick it up again tomorrow, so I hope my students are as ready and eager as I am.

What does it feel like learning about computer materials on the web?

Learning about computer/internet based concepts on the web is convenient, but it can also be quite frustrating. When no one is there in person to answer your questions and point out important things you otherwise might miss, it seems like you're not really getting the full experience. I like investigating new things to a certain extent, but I also enjoy the company of other people. So, I personally prefer for someone to teach me about something new (especially technology) in person because I just seem to understand it better that way. I do like the convenience of learning on the internet, though.
