Rocky Top, You'll Always Be.....

Alright, so football season is right around the corner. Let me go ahead and predict that the Vols will go 15-0 this season and win the national championship. I am not worried about the overhyped Florida Gator's quarterback one bit. Speaking of hype, a lot of it has been going on this week regarding the race for the Presidency. The field is set and it's going to be a slugfest until November. So how do you all feel about the Presidential nominees? I know we have known who the participants will be for a while, but it seems like the race turned up a notch this past week. Any reaction to the Vice Presidential candidates? Did either candidate seperate himself from the other in your mind this week. If you don't have any idea, go to a major news site and read an article or two from this past week. I'm sure you will get caught up in a hurry. Anyway, I hope everything went well with the sub on Friday and I will see you all on Tuesday. Enjoy your long weekend and GO VOLS!

Welcome 2 Sim City

Alright! You guys got to try out Sim City today. This is the first time I have been able to try this in the classroom so I am anxious to see how it goes. Hopefully by the end of this nine weeks, you will see the merit of this simulation. What did you all think of the activity so far? Do you see the relevance of this simulation to what we are studying? If you don't see a connection right now, I think you will eventually. I know we didn't get a whole lot of time today, but we should be able to dive right into it next week. I am anxious to see how you all do. Changing the subject just a bit, how do you think class is going thus far? Do you have any suggestions of things I could be doing or subjects you would like me to teach? I appreciate any feedback you all are willing to give. Well, I guess I will leave it at this for now. Until next time, you stay classy Science Hill!

New Faces, Same Places

Well, here we go again with this big blog experiment! Any ideas or suggestions on how to make this better would be greatly appreciated. I was pleased with the response that I got this morning from my 2nd block class about this blog. Hopefully, this will give you guys a chance to voice your opinions. So, we finished up our first full week of class. How do you guys think it is going so far? Any ideas or suggestions of things we should do or cover in here? We finished the Lost activity today and I know it wasn't an enjoyable experience for everyone. I hope I have made my point about the importance of order and organization. If I haven't, I really don't know what else I could do to make my point. This is in activity that we will refer back to throughout the semester. Give me your guys opinion on the project. What did you learn from this project? How do you feel about people that are indifferent? Does it bother you like it bothers me? Why? I'll leave it at this for now, but expect much more as the semester moves on.
