The End i hope

This is my last blog I think and i thought id finish off with this as it is an amazing picture and one is not likely to find it in Salthill

Classes

I cant believe it the one day i have to get stuff done i get supervision classes. I never get any classes and now because i am trying to get the webquests finished off i get them. Its so typical but cant look a gift horse in the mouth now can I?

Thought this might brighten up the page a little

Evaluation Rubric

The evaluation rubric is the most headwrecking thing i have ever done. Like a fool i did'nt realise that there was a much simplier way to do it until it was too late. I did it the most complicated and time consuming way possible. I did it in a word document created my own table was so impressed with myself and did it all out. Of course when it came to pasting it could'nt just slip in nicely. After spending hours thinking it up. It then took another 3 hours to copy and paste the bloody thing. I was fit to throw the computer out the door.
It is official i hate ed tech. For the amount of marks going for this the amount of work we have to put in is ridiculous.

Dogs

Found this when i was looking for pictures for my webquest, even

people who don't like dogs have to admit this is cute

St Patrick's Day

I am looking forward to the bank holiday weekend, but Paddy's day has really lost its excitement for me. As a kid you were all excited because it meant you could eat sweets all day until you got sick, as an adult it pretty much the same except you drink alcohol all day until you get sick. As i am not a child anymore and i was'nt made go off sweets and as i do not drink there is very little to do that day. I know alot of people are just like me. There thrill for the day is like mine freezing my ass off while i watch the parade and then trying to squeeze through a packed pub to get a coke or something. I really most try doing something different this year. Just have to see how it goes

Fishing

Goodluck with the fishing

22

Just found out that the magic number is 22, better start blogging some more than. So doing my maths that means i have 3 in old blog and 15 in this one = 18
22 - 18 =4. Can you really put up with listening to me for another 4. I think i'll try and find some pictures and brighten this up a bit. I am very curious though as to whether this will actually be read. If i thought it was'nt it could be alot more interesting. By the way i really hate ed tech. I know that maybe it might be useful in the future when every room has its own powerpoint projector, but right now it just feels like more hassle. In most schools its impossible to get an overhead projector. As for a webquest, oh well maybe they know more than i do about the future of educational technology in schools but i really can't see every student having access to a computer for every class in the next ten years. If i'm wrong i will eat my hat! Is that the saying, i really dont know nor do i care.

Diary

It really is difficult to think of something to write in these blogs. I know we were told to treat it as a diary but thats impossible. I don't think anyone is going to put their personal thoughts on a page that can be viewed by anyone. A diary is personal, this is not. This is simple talking about things that we think its ok that other people read. I remember when i was a teenager i kept a diary for a month or so until my mother found it and read it. As a result she found out that i was smoking. Boy was that a happy day, and how stupid was i writing in the diary about smoking! I really had a lot to learn

Indoor Soccer

I have been doing indoor soccer with some of the students in my school since January at lunch time. The principle kindly suggested that doing extra curricular activities was good for your C.V.. The only problem with doing sport is that the school has no gym, no pitch, no courts nothing. I have been using the primary school hall and it is way too small. Also because we are afraid of breaking windows we are using a foam ball that is impossible to control. Half of the students that signed up are usually in detention at lunch and the other half just want to kick the ankles off each other. I do enjoy doing it with them but i really wish we had better facilities. It really is quite amusing to see 10 students runnung round a hall the size of a large sitting room. Hopefully when the weather improves we will be able to it in the outdoors in the playgound
