First day back from a two-week break, and it was a little bit of a cluster. First, Skyward (a.k.a. Skynet) thought today was a red day and not the black day that it truly was. (Although if Skynet says it was a red day, part of me fears we should listen.) The wi-fi was down until about 1:00, which doesn't go over so well in a school that is using Chromebooks for some classes and technology use by students is greatly encouraged. A server was also down rendering the IMC and its bank of 90 computers useless. Also starting today, part of the school that has been under construction was opened making new traffic patterns and confusing student and teachers alike. The irony of all the technology issues was that our bandwidth was supposed to be doubling over fall break, but it wasn't even working the majority of the day. Oh, and apparently I'm teaching at Howarts. Wonder where platform 9 3/4 leads.
Anyway, today being a black day was about as great a way to start break as I could imagine. First period was the beginning of a Tim O'Brein short story, second period was research day in the lab, third was iPass, fourth lunch, and fifth was the writing section of Read 180. We actually spent most of the class period reading and in the IMC gathering books to read since they had been gone for the break. Overall, an easy but chaotic day to return from break.
