Baby on the way means aquarium empty is going to have to stay!
Still, a baby’s pretty exciting too, right?

So I’m getting closer to this goal. I installed Moodle on a snappy new virtualized server at my school. I’m not sure that this counts as ‘using moodle’ I have to create my courses & have my students comlplete the first week of class. But I think I will avoid having to “hit my head on a wall”
I realize that finishing a portfolio is sort of a silly idea. If you stop doing things worth putting into a portfolio, then why bother showing up at all. I suppose I’m done for now in the sense that I fulfilled the requirements in the eyes of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania to keep my teaching certification.
I decided to make this an online endeavor since that way I can keep it current, it’s not just a binder taking up space & this way the portfolio really becomes one of its own artifacts. I’m supposed to be this tech-wizard teacher, I might was well live up to the reputation I’ve generated.
I’m sure this will become a Thing again around this time of year, when someone is waiting with bated breath to sign off on some state paperwork. I wonder if the hours of effort will be reflected in the evaluation.
In the end I was really happy with the format & organization of the documents. It is all behind a password protected zone, but I think lots of it should be accessible. For now I’ll keep it the way I have it.
