I wonder what kind of message we send to the public when we tweet or Facebook that we are so glad that the school year is over? Are we telling our parents that we are glad to be rid of their kids? That we deserve a vacation that others do not? That we are being let out of prison after a 9 month sentence? I understand the sentiment behind the posts, but wonder if perhaps it can be misunderstood.

Do students still give their teachers apples? I don’t want an apple, I want all my students to bring me bubble tea in the morning.

OH my god that would be the best.

No, I’ve…

The first year I taught I had some students who used to bring me breakfast tacos! haha Second year of a teaching one of my students mom was a baker at a Mexican bakery and she would occasionally bring me fresh pumpkin empanadas.

10 Reasons to Have Students Submit Papers Using Google Docs

world-shaker:

I loved all of these, but these two in particular:

4. No Failed-Attachment-Trick
Here’s a popular trick. A student sends an email and intentionally forgets to attach the file hoping that this will buy them sometime. This kind of trickery is more difficult with Google Docs. The paper gets written in Google and then all that is left to do is click “share” and enter the professors’ email address. There is no room for the plausible “I forgot to attach it” excuse.

5. Immediate Return to Students
Once you write in comments and slap on a grade, the paper is immediately available for the student. (They can even set up an email alert notice so that they get an email when changes to the paper are made.)
