that's all I can say

Well I guess the 83 pages of blackline masters would require an overhead projector.

pfff...nothing surprises me...I will be interested to see what happens with that during the curriculum revisions/rewrites, with 21st C focus

where did you get it?

They'll probably import the same blackline masters into Powerpoint.

well, that is good tech integration, isn't it?

I was only looking at it hoping to get ideas for starting the first week.

I actually said today "typing your usual notes into PPT does not make you a 21st Century teacher."

words to live by--that's 4 sho!

That's the link to the NC DPI Middle Grades Math resources.

the date is 2003. They probably didn't have computers yet. 5 computer years is probably like dog years (35 years ago in dog)

CurtisWebs: Oh to be a kid again ... and GET TO do 83 pages of worksheets.

you know, some of us like worksheets!! let's know swing the other way too much to leave direct learners behind!

hurricanesfan66: YOU like worksheets?

come on--me, group work? presentations? nah, I was the teacher's pet in 1st grade, so I got to help mimiograph papers! rock on!

hurricanesfan66: You just liked the smell of the purple ink.

So u just want to make the worksheets. Not do them. 1st grade getting high on mimiograph fluid. That explains a lot.

CurtisWebs: it does, doesn't it??

and rubber cement...mmmm, rubber cement! But just for the record, I was not a paste eater...

CurtisWebs: It's kind of weird that we're plurking 5 feet apart without talking. It's funny to listen to you snicker as you type.

Is this what the future looks like??

hurricanesfan66: I'm glad you cleared up the paste thing. Very important to establish oneself as a non-paste eater.

Never got the paste eating thing.

gcwebster: I would have to review his permanent record before I could confirm he was not a paste eater

now, don't get me wrong, the chunky paste did look good, but I have my limits...

acaciad: Bet he's scrambling around trying to figure out how to distract you from that lil mission.

Do they even make paste anymore?

Give me a break...what's he gonna be scared of? He already admitted to a Vanilla Ice fascination.

see--get it all out, then when I run for governor, there are no secrets!

hurricanesfan66: Do they let priests run for gov?

and should that surprise you?

chocxtc: Not really a surprise. Just an observation.

see...lots of opportunities for that one!

chocxtc: in this case yes.

you're cracking me up 2nite.

hurricanesfan66: thanks for helping w/ my point.

gcwebster: whataya mean - Do they even make paste anymore? You ever heard of Bible School? The ladies make homemade paste.

omyers: touche'

chocxtc: North Carolina does have a 21st century learner initiative at DPI.
