Best Quote Ever

Friday, August 5, 2016

So my Exit Ticket Question for my Intro to Programming kids was "What do you think you can do with Computer Science?"

My favorite answer so far:

Anything that our minds can think of, like movies, animations, and special effects. It is a tool for creativity.

The best.

Best Diet Ever Teaching my Butt Off

Wednesday, May 4, 2016

Seriously - crazy year, but good crazy. Great classes, great kids.

But the reality of teaching Computer Science in high school is a lot to expect. I teach 5 different subjects in a total of 7 sections. I have students assigned to me during my planning and lunch. I run a club, I tutor, I nag I cajole. I work evenings, and weekends, and for the record I have never taken a summer off. 

And some days I look down and realize I am dressed like Ms. Frizzle from Magic Schoolbus.

If you find me wearing this please call someone.

There are very few materials genuinely good materials out there for HS kids. Yes, Exploring CS and Codeacademy are changing that landscape, but compare these to what the average Spanish teacher or Algebra teacher has and it is pretty thin.

On the upside all this skipping lunch and running around means I have lost weight, which is great going into the holiday season.

So as I wind down 2012 I am super thankful for the opportunity to teach computer science. Happy to be out there trying to make it easier for the next group of CS teachers. Happy to have met so many great people along the way.

Have a Super New Year folks!

Find The Best Construction Project Management Software

Sunday, March 30, 2014

By Marissa Velazquez


In the current world, the use of application is contributing to achieving of impressive results. Professionals also do implement the use of such apps. The apps can allow one to perform different tasks without any problem. This capability is a good thing since it contributes to impressive outcomes that means that clients will feel contented. Read on how to choose the best construction project management software.

The process of choosing the most appropriate program is not very challenging. However, an individual has to practice caution. Start by considering the ease of using a particular application. Difficulties in using a given application is not a good thing. A person who is using such an app for the first time will have to spend more time leaning one or two things about it.

A good app should not cost too much money. Despite being affordable, it should offer its users a good experience. If an app costs too much money, most people will not be able to acquire and use it. At the same time, you might end spending more money on buying a program and find out later that it does not offer you what you want.

If one fails to implement some factors, he or she will have guaranteed himself or herself disappoints in future. For instance, it is very important for an individual to make sure that the application that he or she is about to buy has all the necessary features needed for the intended work. It is obvious that if one or two features are not present, one will need to buy another program.

In one way or another, the application that one is using might develop problems. In such cases, it is important for the developers of that app to give the necessary support. The support should be either through calling or via the internet. Through such channels, it becomes easy to deal with various problems without much stress.

It is very irritating when an application you are using stops to respond. Not only do such instances take long to resume, but may require a device restart. Such an occurrence is not welcome when one is carrying out a very important process. One of the most effective ways of preventing such incidences is by buying programs that do not require many computer resources.

Customization of applications is something that has gained popularity in the recent past. Users usually want to feel that they are in control of the aforementioned programs. The only way to have such an experience is to make sure that you buy a software that allows such customization features. Part of the customization process can allow you to include time sheets and calendars.

After taking note of the factors and pointers discussed above, choosing the best construction project management software will not be a challenge any more. However, during choosing and purchasing, personal preferences can also play a part. Make sure not to allow such preferences take over the other important considerations.
