Gratitude Day 79

I'm grateful for computers.  Well, technology in general, really.  As I sit here working on grades, typing up handouts and instructions, blogging, texting, emailing, facebooking, and other miscellaneous necessary and time-wasting activities, I think about how much more productive I would be without technology. 

Okay, that's kind of true.  But mostly, I'm thinking about what a pain it would be to try to mass produce and distribute worksheets and handouts for my classes.  Seriously.  What a nightmare!  And in my classroom today, I used my iPod and the speaker system for a relatively simple and low-key lesson.  Without those things, I would have had to...I don't know, actually prepare and teach?

Now off the computer and back to the tedious task of grading papers.  Well, maybe a little more Facebook first...
