How is everyone else feeling about my title topic? I am just feeling like instead of this being an accelerated program it is more like if you can survive this program than.....Wowza! Just when I think I am getting caught up something more is thrown at us and it is another project or paper and then throw in the undergrade classes...I have exams and presentations, etc to contend with. None of this is including life outside of school and work. Sorry I am not trying to complain as I realize we are all in the same boat but what are all of you doing to stay afloat? How do you fit it all into your life? Any suggestions?
Well thanks for listening...I really didn't give you a choice now did I ;)

A week in review!
So this weeks assignment was to create a podcast. I'm am not a fan! I found it a cumbersome process as I had to download audacity and then download lame. Join esnips and podomatic. Then record, convert, add to podomatic and then add to esnips to make a widget. I may use this for an anatomy as this could be useful for review but I am a big believer in the students taking their own notes. I feel this is important because in college students will not get this type of information spoon fed to them. I think podcast has it's place I just need to learn how to incorporate this into the classroom.

Testing esnips
I just wanted to see if I could do this
Here is the powerpoint presentation I use for my human anatomy lab.
Let's see if it works!

Happy Birthday to me!
If you can't guess from the title, today is my birthday! My best present is there is no school today! This is awesome! However, I plan on spending the day catching up on homework. We only had one week of classes but I am already behind on reading!!! What the heck!
As my Analytical Chemistry professor pointed out to me it has been 14 years since I have had General Chemistry. This is something I am totally aware of but the need of him to point this out to me has me a little worried about the class. I was already worried about the class but now am even more so. Then the comment last week at the end of class was "if this week was not review for you may want to consider dropping the class now or you will get eaten alive by the material!" Oh great! If you can't guess last week was not review for me it was all new again but the concepts made since, where in General Chemistry these concepts were foreign. Therefore, I am going to take the teacher's comment as a challenge and study my hardest and get an "A" in this class! I am pretty sure it can be done.
In KSP classes, I am getting introduced to new technology. This will be OK but again will take time for me to figure out and get the hang of. I hope to be able to do this with out getting too wrapped up in and forget to focus on my other classes. I hope I do not use this as a reason to procrastinate studying for my other classes, as I am doing right now!
I really do not want to study evolution or pay bills so I will blog and post on wiki!?!?! However, this will be done for the week and then I can focus on all of the other homework I need to get done before my kids get home from school.
Have a great week everyone and hopefully next week I will be posting that a light bulb went off in my brain and I remember everything from General Chemistry!!

Welcome!
This blog has been created because I of class I am currently taking. Through this blog, I plan to focus on what I am learning, while back in school to become an educator in the field of Life Science and Chemistry for high school students. It has taken me several years to realize this is the path I wanted to take. We shall see where this path takes me. TFL
