I’m up for a district award and tomorrow they are coming to my classroom to help choose who is going to be a finalist. They are going to observe for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
It’s a district, teaching with technology award. %5.000 for me, $5,000 for the classroom. I’m one of 12 semifinalist, and they are picking 7 finalists.<\/p>\n
I have done a little shopping — first, since some of the money is for staff development, I’m hoping to go to Carnegie-Melon this summer to three workshops in a row. An AP workshop, the CS4HS workshop and an Alice workshop.<\/p>\n
Other good things have happened lately, I got picked for my favorite summer project which is to write our district final — this year for Visual Basic. I’ve done Webmastering and PreAP in the past, and I’ve been wanting to do the Visual Basic for a while.<\/p>\n
I’m also getting a chance to do some Kagan training. We’ve got two days scheduled (and paid) for the two days after Memorial Weekend.<\/p>\n
I’m also kicking around the idea of doing some web development for pay this summer, I looked at Monster and there seems to be quite a few short term contract jobs available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
