Off-Task →
So, as I was off-task when I should have been lesson planning, I realized that my name is not unique. My friends say I’m pretty unique, but my name certainly isn’t. AND, since I was already off task, I figured Tumblr should know about it. Anyway, study hard!

Happy Sabbath.
I am very thankful for the weekend. Baked bread and drank a London Fog, and I’m glad the sun is going down. Have a great rest my friends.
25 Web 2.0 Sites for Educators →
world-shaker:
Here are the first ten:
Google/Gaggle - Google Apps are some of the most popular services for document creation and collaboration. Gaggle (for a small fee) filters Google Apps (Zoho as well) to make it an ideal choice for education. Also, Gaggle allows for filtered blogging, chatting, messaging boards, and filtered videos in You Tube, etc.
Edmodo - A wonderful free site that...
Revelation
What do you think Revelation 5:6 looked like when John saw it? I don’t think it looked pretty, as it doesn’t sound pretty. It sounds kinda creepy, but it’s clearly depicting a beautiful event.
And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and...
So very very interesting...
So, awhile ago, I found out about the Haka, a Maori intimidation technique and war ritual still practiced by their rugby team to this day. It is interesting. You can watch it here:

Recently, I’ve also become friends with some mormon missionaries. They are really nice guys, I don’t believe many of the things which they believe, but they are...
Giant Moths of North Dakota →
I found one of these once, and i thought it was the coolest thing ever. It was a much needed reminder that North Dakota has some pretty cool native wildlife too, even though there’s lots of other places who have seemingly cooler stuff, you find what you look for wherever you go. I caught it and put it in a jar to show everyone. Then I let it go, because I felt sorry for it looking so sad....

Origins of the “Secret Rapture”
Pastor David Asscherick gives a basic rundown on the origins of the “Secret Rapture” theory. If you’re interested in finding more information on the subject, look up the names “Francisco Ribera” and “Luis De Alcazar,” both Jesuit priests responsible for the Futurist and Preterist schools of prophetic interpretation, respectively.
List
So, normally I don’t put to-do lists up here, but I’m asking this evening for you to hold me accountable. I have many things which I need to get done, and I would like them to all be done before Thursday. I keep thinking Sunday is already over. But it might as well be, as I often don’t get enough done on Sundays.

Sub-planning the techy way, part 2 →
So if you are having your class practice a skill online, and you can’t be in class, this site allows you to take screenshots and screen recordings (with voice). You simply select the portion of the screen you wish to record, record, and save to a URL - for free! I tried it to show my mom how to look at a certain album of mine on facebook and she said it worked, as she’s not exactly...

Biological Slip
So, as a soon-to-be science teacher, my brain tends to make scientific patterns with the world around me, whether or not they are appropriate for the situation.
Today in class (Teaching Students with Special Needs), Dr. Doss posed the questions “What is communication?”
With meme’s on the brain, and my filters off due to lack of sleep, I laughed aloud as a new definition of communication came...
“[01/02/11 1:02:25 PM] Heather : let me know if there’s anything...”
– Skype. Sometimes, I realize my jokes are becoming cheesier and drier the older I get. I pity my grandchildren.
