Teach, Teach!

Unfortunately, as much as I like Flock (and I do like it), the blogging piece does not allow for upload of files (although Flock does feature cool integration of Flickr and Photobucket for photos). So it looks as though I’m back to using the Performancing add-on with Firefox for now, though I really like Flock. One thing I’m enjoying with Flock is its integrated RSS reader–much easier than its counterpart add-on for Firefox (IMHO). And I actually like the blogging piece as well–maybe they’ll add ftp upload soon, so that Flock can become my new browser of choice.

I’m testing out the built-in blogging component to Flock.  Steve Dembo recommended it and I have to say the other aspects of Flock are impressive indeed.  I particularly like the built-in RSS reader.  I’m forcing myself to start using RSS because I need to “get it” so that I can share its uses with other teachers.

This is a test of the Performancing extension for the Firefox browser. If this works, it’s an absolute genius addition to this browser.

It works! Genius!

So, an update on my working life: I have accepted a job. Yeah, I’m employed! I was contacted by the Director of High School Curriculum and offered a position as a Teacher on Special Assignment for Remedial High School Instruction. To be truthful, I don’t know how to do much of anything that the position requires; however, the curriculum director, who was once my administrator many moons ago, feels confident that I can do it all and that I am discounting my on the job experience from this past year (which may be true).

The scary part is that I do not know who my boss will be. The current curriculum director has taken a position as principal at a middle school. Yesterday was her last day. There is a school board meeting this morning at 10:00 AM and it will be interesting to see what the results of their “reorganization” efforts will be. Fortunately for me, I have a job for next year, regardless of what they decide.
