  1. Any teachers out there using Zoom? Any suggestions or warnings? Going full bore on Wednesday

      I love teaching a class that every kid is muted in both audio and chat.  I just pretend I'm at home talking to a wall...

       

      I'm sorry guys.  I know there are teachers out there looking for ways to excel in the current situation.  But I'm just bitter about it.  There are ways MY kids could be better served, but it doesn't fit the "district"'s process...

       

      I'm supposed to give kids 2.5 hours a week of material, and an hour of that is supposed to be via Zoom.  I've reached the point where I will use Zoom for kids to edit and send me their videos while I silently watch. Sounds creepy, but if that time counts into my "instruction" time, so be it...

  2. Once we get back to normal, I hope "technology" is removed from the classroom!

     

    We've spent that past 15+ years hearing about how we need to integrate tech into our classrooms. 

     

    Now, at the drop of a hat, we are required to spend 30 minutes a day teaching "face to face" via computer.  Using that time to have kids watch videos and use the web aren't recommended....wtf????

      Awkard, and audio is an issue.  You can't hear half of your students.  Our students have Chromebooks and the mic in the computer isn't suitable for Zoom.  Unless a kid has a headset with a mic, assume your communication will be through the chat window.

       

      Teaching Industrial Tech through Zoom is very interesting...

  4. Anybody besides me having a passing thought that the 2020 season might not happen?

  5. Welp, wife's nursing home is concerned they have it.  Here we go....

  6. Still nothing from the K-12 schools in Nebraska...interesting.

  7. CU looking close to hiring Karl Dorral as the next HC.  You might remember Karl from a completely forgettable stretch as head coach for UCLA in the mid 2000s.

     

     

  8. DC Defenders pitch a shutout baby, 2-0!

      I'd go with Molly Shannon.  "Schwety Balls" is a classic!!!

       

      Hot take: Will Ferrell is/was awful...I can't believe he's had the success he's had...

  10. How many of you guys like the movie, Rudy?

     

    This was a topic on a radio show this morning, as Saturday Night Live did a spoof of it this past weekend.

     

    Personally, I think it's a terrible movie, and I don't get how any non-Notre Dame fan can like it.

      Sean Astin annoys me, I don't know why...

       

      His best character was in "Goonies" and even then I liked watching the older brother beat on him...

  13. WTAF with these ads again? The bottom banner ad completely obscures any post or status I try to type. Who's bright idea was this?

  14. Advice on feeding a 13 year old boy. I may have to give him up. An entire Costco box Of 17 hot pockets in a week. That’s in addition to his normal ration of 5 meals a day. 

  15. Like half a can of penetrating oil, a 4 pound hammer, 2 hours later, and every cuss words in the book; the rotor is still stuck on my fiancée's car. Worst brake job ever!

  16. If NU needs to beat Iowa to make a bowl game...get ready for a super sold out, totally packed stadium that is ROCKING.

  17. These 8 balls of cocaine should be illegal.

      I'm really starting to dislike college football...

       

      Fans/schools want quick turn-arounds, but don't want to pay the athletes.  The NFL takes at least three years of perfect drafts and free agency (and a lot of luck) to turn a team around.  How is a coach supposed to do that in college?  A sport that depends on relationships in recruiting and building traditions on the field?  Riley got fired because he was "ruining" the few positives left by Pelini; plain and simple.  The program didn't need "turned around"....YET.

      Well "some" of the  Nebraska fans are about to get a "case study" of what happens when a coach is fired before 2 seasons are over...

  20. Prepare for the Luke McCaffery show!!!

  21. SI is going down. Can't wait to watch local sports media wax poetic about how important their profession is, and how little respect they and their peers receive.

  22. Random fact of the day:  Merriam-Webster added 533 new words to the dictionary

  23. Hey check out the NFL passing leader.   I guess The Taylor Effect doesn't have the same ring to it as The Frost Effect.
