Not Gone....Just Missing
Still here. I'm having some health issues along with the extra stuff that comes up with ending a school year. I should be back soon. Thanks for asking.
@Rofo, when I started teaching the highest level of technology in my classroom was a slide show I made using a 35mm camera and a cassette tape for sound. (Circa 1981). As the first computers started to trickle into our school, I was one of the first to learn start using them with students. The very first computer in my classroom was one I bought my self and brought in every day. I kind of fell into being the tech guy people went to for tech help, paid in building tech support and then finally technology teacher. I miss teaching SS sometimes but love being an elective teacher.
@Roddy. Thanks for the concern. I'm just an old guy whose body can't keep up with all the things I want to do. But, I am back to blogging as of today.
Good luck at Mines. Drop me a note once you get going to let me know what it's like, how you are doing, or any cool projects (including tattoos) you might be working on.
