I got an email tonight asking for approval of a computer literacy course outline revision. I’m slated to teach a section of this class in the fall. In past discussions, I’ve expressed a strong opinion that this class should focus on basic concepts and not specific software, something that has been just as strongly opposed. [...]

Every once in a while something clicks and begins to make sense. This morning it happened on my way to work as I was driving on mental auto-pilot. I really am thankful for the 25 minute drive to work because if I lived closer I wouldn’t get the uninterrupted time to think that driving for [...]

I always love teaching teachers. I just started a new moodle class this week. It’s always very cool to see what other educators are doing and to have a hand in influencing how they interact with students. It’s a group of my peers and I love their energy. I almost always end up making friends [...]

So, I have no internet access in my office today because of the network blowout that happened last week. They have the lab computers working however, so I am sitting out here in front of my office getting stuff done. I really should do this more often. It’s funny listening to students and what they [...]

I was invited to talk to the students at Summit High School, a continuation school in Isabella. Journeyed up the mountain today and had a great time. I wanted to make sure this wasn’t just another “you should go to school” type of presentation. I’m sure these kids have had a lifetime of “you should’s”. [...]

Cerro Coso Community College was well represented at the Desert Empire Fair this year with three different exhibitions - the general college booth, the Automotive Hybrid Car booth, and the Students Intrigued by Technology booth. I think I was at the fair almost the entire time and it was a wonderful opportunity to talk about [...]

Paraphrased from an overheard conversation:
DB: I need to run home to get a hard drive to copy these linux files on. I have a 100 GB drive there.
EH: Is that all you need? 100 GB? I have that in my car.
LOL. Is there any question why I love these guys?!?

Tonight was the last night of robo class. As always, mixed feelings. Glad the semester is over, for a lot of reasons, but I will really miss that class. How many students leave a class proud to be alumni? Wanting shirts professing they are “Robo-Vets”? This whole class did! The energy, the enthusiasm, the motivation, [...]
