Wifi-less Musings – Effectively Concise
https://effectivelyconcise.wordpress.com/2016/10/16/wifi-less-musings
What started as a journey with iOS has transformed into an odyssey of not-so-epic proportions. October 16, 2016. This will be a short post. My wifi is out, and I’m using my phone as a hotspot. Thankfully, I have rollover data, but I doubt I have enough to type my usual 300 words. Did my homework (teacher pleaser, remember? So here I sit, using at least three forms of technology that were foggy visions a mere 20 years ago. A computer the size of a spiral notebook that sits in your lap? You are commenting ...

Why You Gotta Be So Rude? – Effectively Concise
https://effectivelyconcise.wordpress.com/2016/10/23/why-you-gotta-be-so-rude
What started as a journey with iOS has transformed into an odyssey of not-so-epic proportions. Why You Gotta Be So Rude? October 23, 2016. That song isn’t even in my top 100, but it made for a good title. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to be kind in such a rude world. The day started off just fine. My mom and I dropped the dogs off at doggy daycare so we could spend the day at the State Fair of Texas. I knew it would be really busy since it was the last day, so we tried to get an early start. This ...

This Is Only a Test – Effectively Concise

What started as a journey with iOS has transformed into an odyssey of not-so-epic proportions. This Is Only a Test. January 7, 2017. I know it’s been a while since I’ve written. The holidays, life, work, yada yada yada… I’m writing this one because I need to write and because I don’t want to complete Fitz’s challenge. And so I shall use this platform to share some thoughts on assessment. I googled “STAAR test problems.”. And in a plot twist, a poet discovered. Just this week, TEA released new blueprints.

A Life in Books – Effectively Concise
https://effectivelyconcise.wordpress.com/2016/02/11/a-life-in-books
What started as a journey with iOS has transformed into an odyssey of not-so-epic proportions. A Life in Books. February 11, 2016. February 18, 2016. I’ve always been a reader. One of my earliest memories is visiting the upper grades as a kindergartener to read the Christmas story from the Bible. I don’t really remember how all of that came to pass–I just know that I’ve been reading all my life. Series, craving the predictable patterns they followed as my own little life became somewhat chaotic. When I s...

Why I Love YA – Effectively Concise
https://effectivelyconcise.wordpress.com/2016/12/03/why-i-love-ya
What started as a journey with iOS has transformed into an odyssey of not-so-epic proportions. Why I Love YA. December 3, 2016. I do not fit the dictionary’s (or society’s) definition of “young adult,” not by a long shot. But nevertheless I read and love YA literature for the nostalgia and camaraderie. I’ve blogged before about my reading life (see “A Life in Books”. And “Reading: A Life and Goals”. By Judy Blume is an obvious exception to this, but I digress.) There were very few, actual young adult...

Reset for Success – Effectively Concise
https://effectivelyconcise.wordpress.com/2016/11/03/reset-for-success
What started as a journey with iOS has transformed into an odyssey of not-so-epic proportions. November 3, 2016. When we began the new 9 weeks, my students and I had a little “reset” discussion. We started by talking about things that we can reset, like a video game when we’re about to be eaten by a dragon or a phone when it freezes up. A reset is a fresh start when things aren’t going the way we’d like. The first link I found is a list of 100 open-ended questions. Do you see the solution to them? Hopefu...
