#HighSchool #graduation today. Went well, good to see families and some older siblings who graduated years ago.
#AdultESOL (#AdultESL) class had #writing test today. Need to grade that tonight.
#CyberSecurity class has 3 assignments due by tonight, but professor said don't worry --- party he is also really busy and won't have time to grade, and partly because we were down for a bit due to the #Canvas #ransomware.
Last week of high school next week. Then summer #ProfessionalDevelopment time.
Don't have the pics yet, but we tried two new recipes tonight in #YoshikosKitchen.
Super busy week because #k12 school year is winding down, #AdultESOL / #AdultESL is at the writing test part of the term, and this is the final week of the current #CyberSecurity course.
Oh, and because so many #USA Americans lack #CriticalThinking skills and / or don't have time to rest, much less watch (increasingly unhelpful) news, daily life is even more stressful than the usual background stress levels.
#k-12 school year for teachers ended last week. My year ends tomorrow. New term of #AdultESOL / #AdultESL starts (for me) on Saturday.
#CyberSecurity class started last week. So far, so good. Pretty interesting. For this #CollegeCreditPlus program, I have to do 1 class in the fall, 2 in the spring, and the final one next summer. While working 60 hours a week. Not looking forward to that spring term at all.
Luckily, I've listened to #SecurityNow with @SGgrc for over 10 years.
Some of my #AdultESOL students are not comfortable with #GoogleDrive or #GoogleDocs, so I made this short video for them. It covers opening Google Drive from Gmail, creating a document, and sharing the doc.
Got a lot done on #AdultESOL prep (for both classes). Even recorded a video to help students get started with #GoogleDrive and #GoogleDocs. Created a couple of brainstorming worksheets, too.
I think I'm finding my footing with the #BESL8 class. It is an intro to writing class for students who are approaching college-ready English skills.
If I have some time tomorrow, I'll do some work on my #AgeVerification website idea. I'd like to get that on #NeoCities this coming week
#K12 second semester and new #AdultESOL term off to a busy start. Teaching two levels of #AdultESL this term, one on weekend, one weekday evenings.
Unfortunately, state mandated end of term testing starts in February and basically continues until May.
Productive and educational (no pun intended) week. Completed a lot of prep for the new #k12 school year. Have more new (to our school) #EnglishLearners than I expected, so that's great news.
As always, looking forward to #AdultESL this weekend. Prepping for that now, then going to play some old-school #Quake3.
Feels like Friday. #ProfessionalDevelopment went well at work today. Meeting at the #CommunityCollege went well.
No #AdultESOL (#AdultESL) class this weekend, so don't have to prep or grade today.
I should exercise, but I think I'll finish John Wick 4 instead.
#AdultESOL (#AdultESL) class went well today. Only two classes left in this term. Taking a term off this summer for the first time since ... I don't remember when.
We get #k12 #ESOL assessment scores tomorrow. Can't wait to see how my students did. Also the day that some of the #EMEB students get an early start of final exams, so I may not actually have time to check the state testing results.
Can't believe only 1 week left with students this school year. Flew by.
Just finished updating my class workbook for the next term of #AdultESL.
75 pages, including guided notes, worksheets, practice tests, assignment info, and misc extras.
Easy to do in #Linux, with #Inkscape, #LibreOffice, #TexLaTeX, and lastly #PDFArranger to put everything together.
(I didn't just make all 75 pages - tweaked and put together docs I've made over the years that I've been teaching this class.)
