  • Soccer gives African refugee a chance to land on his feet | Dallas/Fort Worth High School Sports | HS GameTime.com | Top Stories

    This is one of my babies!!!  He was in my English for Math class back in 2004.  He is really the nicest young man, and visits with me a lot in the hall.  He always asks about Marcie, who came to his class twice that year to help teach AP Psychology.  He’s a smart fellow, learning what means the most to you and then asking about it when he sees you.

    Soccer gives African refugee a chance to land on his feet | Dallas/Fort Worth High School Sports | HS GameTime.com | Top Stories

    In September 2004, the United Nations refugee agency resettled Francis, Yagba and Robert in Dallas.

     

    A month later, Robert, then a 16-year-old, enrolled at Hillcrest. Although he could speak three African languages and some broken English, he could not read or write because he had no schooling in the refugee camp.

  • XBOX 360

    I think I am going to get one, but I can’t decided exactly what I want. I have been alternating doctor’s visits and stores with Xbox 360 stores. I have been to 2 Gamestops, Fry’es and a Best Buy.

    I can’t decide if I want to buy new or used, harddrive, memory, etc. Probably want WIFI though.
    I have also played drums on Rock Band, and I have also played Guitar Hero.

    By the way, my eye doctor also likes Rock Band.
    Any suggestions?

  • Nokia Internet Tablet and IGo Keyboard

    I picked up an IGo Bluetooth keyboard pretty cheap from Amazon.com — it arrived today and works pretty well.

    Yes, I would probaby rather have an 810 but I wasn’t even sure I wanted an internet tablet when I ordered it and didn’t like the price on the 810. It’s nice to have the internet but not be chained to a computer.

    It took a couple of attempts to pair,but it seems to be working okay now.
    Give me a few days to see how I really like it.

  • Private Lessons?

    Every once in a while, I get to wondering if there would be a market for holding private lessons in Computer Science.  Frankly, I have all the resources one would need to hold small group programming classes in my home — basically a good wireless network, and could even set up a good wired network.

    Here’s why I got to thinking about it last night — one of my agility friends has a teen age boy who is not only interested in games, but in how they are written and is completely self taught.  They do not offer any type of programming class in his school and she thinks it would be good for him.  Of course, they live on the other side of the planet from me, and while I don’t mind losing my entire evening to dog training, I doubt she’d want to drive here.

    The other reason is the time factor.  I just don’t have any more hours in my day.  I might have a few this summer, but since I’ve already decided to teach summer school to keep people out of my lab … I might not.

    The thing I think my students should learn about is software design. That’s why I picked a flowchart template. In fact, I’ve been having my students flowchart but by using Raptor, not an old fashioned template.

    Oh, and I had to use one of those in my first job. I think we were supposed to in the second, but we were always so pushed to get it done, we didn’t get there.

    My internet heroes are:

    Scott Hasselman

  • Clint interviewed Miguel de Icaza

    One of my new heros did this interview — actually an old hero, as I have been reading his blog, but met him in person at the Games Conference.  I’m really excited about being able to show this video in class — hopefully I can reach some of my spanish speakers, several of them are quite good at code.

    At Mix ’08, I had the privilege to interview Miguel de Icaza.

  • CSTA Symposium

    My next trip is to San Antonio — the last day of June.  I am going to CSTA which is a one day event, breakfast and registraton at 8:00, first session at 8:45.  I’m kicking around the idea of flying in that day — first flight in is at 7:55 and the hotel is 7 miles from the airport, and both are on a major highway. 

    If i do that, I do not have to travel with my CPAP machine, making the whole trip much more TSA friendly.  Also cheaper, hotel rooms are $100+ a night.

    Any thoughts?
