This Just Got "Reel"!


https://www.instagram.com/reel/CfPM2e5geNs/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

So I just completed my first reel on Instagram and I want to share that adventure with all of you. This came about as a result of our knowledge sharing assignment. I was discussing the assignment with my daughter and she pipes up with this great idea to make a reel on Instagram.

 "It will be easy", she said. 

"It will be quick", she promised.

Fast forward to Saturday afternoon on take 23 when I am ready to pull out every strand of hair I have. Add to that the distinct chuckling I am hearing coming from the room of my 17 year old son as I talk to myself and rerecord the same 30 seconds over and over again. 

Around about take 40 I decided that this was it. Is it perfect? Nope. Is it good? Eh. But not to worry, I will get better. 

Here are my conclusions. Social media is work! I always kind of scoffed at people who said that their job was to be a social media influencer, but man creating/curating content is not a joke. It literally took me a couple of hours to record mediocre thirty second clip. Whew! The upside is that I learned a lot. I will try again. I have linked my very first reel to this post. Please be kind!

    It is work! Yes, it is! Is it awful that I am amused by the exchange between you and your kids?

Thing That Make You Go HMMM!!

  Okay so I admit I lost it this week! If you read my previous blog, you know what I'm talking about, if you didn't you should check it out (warning there is cursing and stupidity involved). It's a good read. Really Okay so I have been watching the news to see what other counties are going to do. Mostly I have been watching to see what OCPS is going to do. I want to see if I am going to have to run screaming from the building because I have gone completely mad. But anyway, no word on OCPS but I really like what two counties have decided to do.  The premise of this whole idea of parental rights in school involves parents wanting to control what their student learns. If I am being honest, that doesn't really bother me. I think parents should be involved. My issue is when the will of the few gets imposed on the many. That isn't fair. Two counties in Florida have found a creative way to stop this from happening. Polk county has six books that have been challenged. Paren...

Three Is More Than One

  Umm, excuse me Governor Desantis but last year you said that you had a issue with standardized testing. I was like okay, this is a cause that I can get behind. The way we are currently using standardized test in the education system is abhorrent. In many cases these tests are the only measure of student and teacher success. Standardized tests don't allow us to celebrate the small wins. If a student read 2 books last year and 15 books this year, that's a win. If you learned to write your name in cursive, that's a win. If you know how to divide or understand fractions that's a win. I don't care what the test says. When did kids become standardized. My oldest daughter could read before she went to kindergarten. Her sister learned to read in kindergarten. My son could read when he was four. They all turned out just fine. Kids are not standardized.  I was excited to hear that we were doing away with the FSA. As an educator, I felt like someone was finally paying attent...

What the H*** is Happening

  Please excuse my thinly veiled attempt to cover my cursing. I realize that I should use my words better, but to be honest in this case the word is the most appropriate one I could think of this morning. This morning I woke up to this article. https://bookriot.com/florida-teachers-remove-classroom-libraries/ The article discusses how teachers in Brevard Public Schools have been told that they cannot use their classroom libraries this year until they have been vetted by an expert.  I thought teachers were the experts! I mean we did go to school for just such an occasion, but I digress. Let's get back to the real issue.  I would be remiss if I just read one article, so I went a googling. Here are the other headlines that popped up.  https://www.tampabay.com/news/education/2022/05/12/florida-schools-stirred-up-over-library-books-textbooks/ https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/04/15/brevard-schools-discuss-district-wide-library-book-policy-prepare-for-review-pro...
