Saturday, January 9 is the Big Day. Our team heads off to our First Lego League competition. As a rookie coach with a rookie team, I'm feeling my share of trepidation. I did go once as an observer, so I have seen what a terrific program this is. But that's not the same as coaching a team.

Have I mentioned recently how much I love teaching middle schoolers? Yes, I know they can be maddeningly immature at times -- but isn't that the wrong measuring tool? After all, they ARE immature. That's what being an early adolescent IS. Why fault them for that?

Just found a great resource for printouts using the GTD system, and for educators! And Creative Commons licensed, no less! I've printed them out and am looking at them sitting in a pile on my desk, trying to figure out how to collate them.  You can find them here.

Just fiddling with some possibilities. So far, we're looking at:

1. using small cheap mp3 recorders

2. nanogong.

Language teachers want to have students record work and upload their stuff to Moodle. From a Moodle perspective, it's not too hard to do. However, when you look at hardware, software, internet access, etc. it starts getting complicated.
