Here's how you refer to another blog ...

Hey, so ... as PER my handout, here's how you make your own blogpost that uses someone's blog post as a reference. There are two ways to handle the tech part, but only one way to do the writing part. Check it out ...

1sy way, te full link ...

Here's the second way ...

The Giants .... lose again :(

Ok, the was supposed to be the second post of a lesson that asked you to add two posts .. in one class, but I can see why all my students' second posts are so short. Writing is tiring. Anyway, the title says it all. In the immortal words of my 13 year old niece ...

Anyway ... 

The Yankees are in the World Series ...playing the Phillies

I'm a Mets fan. My team has been watching the Phillies beat the crap out of us all year long. We've been living in the shadow of the Yankees for like ... i don't know .. EVER and we didn't get to the playoffs because 1/2 of the team got injured (with the kind of crap luck that only visits Mets fans, I promise. Suffice to say, the Yankees and Phillies in the series is the ABSOLUTE, WITHOUT DOUBT, worst case scenario possible. It's like having a heart-attack AND a stroke at the same time, with the whole world watching.

How did I come to be at Access??

I'm trying to catch up on some of the assignments that I gave the kids the last few weeks. I know one of them was to post about who you are and how you came to be here, right? Well here's mine ...

I'm John. I'm from Long Island, but then made the totally smart move to Brooklyn (via Queens, with a brief layover in Harlem (errr Hamilton Heights). Then I had my baby, and moved back here to Long Island .. anyway (bla bla bla).

I WAS teaching American History at a really nice school in Brooklyn (via East Harlem, with a brief layover in Williamsburg at a tech school), but came to hate 1)my Principal 2) Most of the people I was teaching with and 3) Not working with Alternative School kids. I came here to teach technology and I've been here ever since. I haven't met one person who DIDN'T like Access (well one, but she was a train wreck and left anyway), and after a week or so of being here, you'll probably see why.

Anyway ...  

Just a first post

Sooo I finally got around to creating the blog I'm going to use for the class. I'm sooooo glad that I can now Repost all the other stuff on that other blog that I don't want my students to see.
