    Tomorrow (and this weekend & Mon/Tues) might be the last of my slacker-ish days before school starts up... 
    then again, with my work ethic, I may only need a few hardcore days to pump out my syllabi & double-check everything.

    Basic List:
    -Prep classes & double-check stuff online that'll be used right away...
    -Update videos?
    -Create & add videos (Tech Bootcamp Jan. 2-4)!
    -Book publishing!
    -Crafts!
    -Appointments (Bug Dec.31, etc.)!

    In Depth List:
    -I really should just zone in on a few tweaks for each class; a total overhaul is not necessary. I know I wanted to change up the projects in Eng110 (add 20% Project and Fake Company) and keep a lot of what I've already done (prompts, writing/reading activities, etc.), so that's good. IF I get time, I'd like to put together my own pamphlet of prompts and writing/reading activities and have that in Doc Sharing as something they could print off IF they wanted to. Oh, and maybe I'd have a grammar handout, too? In addition, dealing with Eng110, I plan to use the Tech Bootcamp next week for making audio/visual pieces of each project - explaining it, etc. 
    -My own FUN project = 20% Project = Finding many images about grammar or creativity or whatever and using that YouTube Slideshow option to make funky visual aids...
    -For Eng120, I think I just need to rethink the mini-arguments. They are tough to assess quickly, and I still struggle with getting them to REALLY understand citations. I think I'll zone in on that & maybe update/create a new video for something? Oooh... or the students said I should condense Doc Sharing... I could do that and add more hyperlinks (advice from that conference); and make the project handouts all the same + use Prezi to explain them?
    I HAVE TOO MANY IDEAS.
    AGAIN! 
    Damn. It.
