where does the time go?
Third week into my summer break and I’m all ready behind in my goals. First there are all the household chores and DIY jobs that don’t get done while school’s in session. In addition, there’s the time I want to spend with my children and grandchildren, and with my significant other. Then there are new hobbies, like sewing, that I’ve taken up. I’ve got a reading list that’s about a mile long. Finally, of course, there is putting into use all these technology tools I’ve been learning about.
Most of my computer time has been spent learning Moodle, adding modules, and creating what ever lessons I can of an English course, even through I still haven’t been told exactly what I’ll be teaching next year. I’ve also started cataloging my personal and classroom libraries on Shelfari and adding a widgets to my blog. (Hat tip to a whole new dianne for leading me to Shelfari.) I still have nearly 500 books to add. My list of “what I need to accomplish before school starts” is looking a bit daunting.
As a result, blogging time is severely limited. And, because I find myself getting very distracted, twittering has been off limits.
I’ve got an appointment with my APC on Monday, and he assures me that he will have a definite answer to my “What am I teaching?” question. That will, at least, give me some direction to take with Moodle.
Bottom line, I need more time.
