Work induced Ramblings...

 Time:
Have you ever considered how many times in a day you check the time.  Time is truly the master of all and yet there is never enough time.  This thought occurs to me as I sit here at work wasting time.  My co-workers are busy discussing scheduling and time off.  While they are doing this I find myself repeatedly checking the clock to see how much more time until I get to go home.  Sometimes I wish I could have a day without time, a day where being late was impossible and work ended whenever I decided to leave.  But a day like that wouldn’t really be a day, for what is a day anyway.  A day is just another unit of time that is measured in time itself.  24 hours, 1440 minutes, 86,400 seconds.  All of these make up a day.  Our lives are literally ruled by time.  However, we consider time so important not because of work schedules and doctor appointments, but because with every passing second, time is lost.  With this lost time though, memories are made.  Memories of your child’s birth, your graduations, maybe your first kiss.  Memories are just moments in time that have passed in the milliseconds it takes to blink the eye.  However, in old age we relive these memories of stolen time that we keep with us throughout our time on this Earth. We measure our lives by the time that passes.  We measure our lives in units of time because we as human beings know that our time in this life is limited, so it is precious. Time is truly the master of all and yet, there is never enough time.

Halloween Havoc

Blood, guts, maggots, and brains are flashing before my eyes as I surf the web in search of ways to keep a group of preteens entertained at the Halloween party.  Today’s kids are so exposed to horror movies and scary music that the things that would have sent chills down my spine at their age are ‘simply child’s play.’  When I was a little girl “Night Mare on Elm Street” horrified me.  In our house at the time we had a long dark hall way.  My older brother, doing his duty as an older brother took it upon himself to hide in the rooms along the hall where I couldn’t see him; when I would pass he would jump out of the rooms behind me yelling “Freddy’s coming” which of course sent me screaming down the hall because I thought Freddy Kruger was after me.  In my defense I was only nine.  My children on the other hand watched that movie and laughed at the special effects.  They become more desensitized with every new horror movie produced now days.  I...

ManyCam - Getting Started

  Getting Started:  Online teaching is a growing industry that has exploded during the pandemic, but it isn't a new thing. I started teaching online in 2018 when I took a little break from the brick-and-mortar schools. Many of the companies that I worked for required that you provide the students with some type of external reward. This reward could be anything from stickers to lining things up on a magnetic board. Some people were even creative and used a tablet with google slides. The problem with the external reward is that you needed a lot of supplies so the rewards wouldn't become monotonous. ManyCam has numerous objects and features that allow you to change rewards for any given class without the added supplies.  Objects:  As I became more proficient with ManyCam I added more objects to use with my students. Sometimes we collected dancing stars, other times we collected ice cream scoops that we pretended to eat at the end, and other times I changed the face acce...
