Happy New Year!!

Posted on January 2nd, 2008 by koolteecha

Wow – did those couple of weeks fly by or what?  Seriously, though, I am ready to be back at school!  I crave routine, so despite the craziness and chaos of everyone being back at school, it’s what I’m accustomed to and I love it.

So my Pre-APeeps will soon be embarking on an technological experiment!  We are in the early stages of creating a Middle Earth character.  My hopes are for us to go digital with our finished products!  I have discovered a safe, educator-friendly social networking site called ning.com.  (Feel free to check it out – www.ning.com) Once we’ve got all aspects of our characters mapped out,we’ll create webpages for them – a Middle Earth myspace network, if you will.  It’s all very experimental, but as you guys know, I have tremendous faith in your flexibility and patience with my techie-ideas! 

 In the meantime, we’ve got to finish up The Hobbit (although I suspect that many of you found it irresistable to finish the book over the break)!    I’m going to step up your responsibilties on the discussion board this time around – but you all saw that coming, right? 

And yes – semester exams are looming before us.  I’m going to try to get us to finish the book before then, but if it doesn’t happen, that’s okay, too.

Regulators!!  Are you intrigued by Hercule Poirot and the dead guy on the train or what?  Seriously!!  Now that the crime has occured, we’ll get to see each character’s account of the night of the murder.  Pretty good stuff!    You’ve probably heard rumblings of our class discussion board, which you haven’t had the chance to participate in yet…now is the time!  You’re going to love it!

Ah, well, it’s getting late, and since I’ve got to set my stinkin’ alarm tonight, I’d better say goodnight.

So what are everyone’s new year’s resolutions???  Do tell, do tell!

P.S. LOST actually starts January 31st!!!!
