Typing Again....

I'm back to sitting at the kitchen table.

This time though, I printed off the

source document so I'm not trying to read

off my laptop.

Still typing on Rod's laptop though.

It has a larger keyboard.

This time I'm typing up a log of all 

the town's resolutions and ordinances

going back to 1989!

It's pretty interesting!

And fun to see myself being appointed

to the committee I used to be on.

Meanwhile,

I got a phone call from my teaching boss.

He was HAPPY to hear I was 

currently sitting on my couch

doing NOTHING.

(ok, I was eating breakfast,

but since it was 10:30 in the morning

I didn't want to cop to that... lol)

He asked me to drive to South Miami

(yikes)

on Thursday afternoon and spend

Friday through Monday attending

the school of another instructor.

I'm going to learn how to use the company's

new e-Logic where the student is 

assigned a QR code (those funny looking

little stamp things) on their phone 

when they register for the class.

Then when they arrive, all they have

to do is tap their phone to my iPad

and presto! They are all signed in!

Eliminates all the paperwork!

Also eliminates all the "I was here on time,

you can't dock me 5 hours for being late!"

It timestamps when you tap.

No arguing anymore!

And the other instructor is FUNNY!

So it will be a treat to sit in her class

and watch how she teaches the same

stuff that I teach.

(And shamelessly steal some of it, I'm sure!)

I feel a little bad for her though.

I'm the most "senior" instructor

(except Barbara who has been teaching 

since the earth cooled, but she doesn't travel...)

and I imagine it can be intimidating to have

someone like that in your classroom,

watching your every move.

I try REALLY hard to not be,

but I've had other instructors watch me,

and it doesn't matter how nice they are.

It's intimidating!!!

Anyhow.

I'm going to spend the 4 days with her.

Then the last 2 weekends of the month

I'll implement what I learned in MY class.

And then starting in June they are going

to start sending the other instructors

to my class (one or two at a time) so they

can also be trained on the new system.

I think it's going to be FUN!

But I'm going to be out of town for 5 days.

So I'd better get finished typing!

BYE!
