Student Flickr/Pixlr Projects from my English 120 students (on-campus class).
Click on them to see them in a larger layout.

In my online classes, I have 44 papers to assess. My on-campus total is 24.
So, that brings my total to 68 which, at about *10 papers a day,
is about a week’s worth of grading at a medium pace.
Yep. And so it begins.

I’m caught up elsewhere, to a certain extent.
Before I weigh-in and have a noon meeting,
I should wrap up my 3pm class (English 110) stuff.

*I think I’ll shoot to assess 5 in each class each day = 15 papers.

p.s. First paper of the day was a WordPerfect document. Ugh.

If you are a student in my online class, you could earn some bonus points
by finding a cool picture on Flickr.com (the Creative Commons area, of course)
and emailing it to me no later than 5pm on Friday, February 18.
Try to find one that I can place funny text on. Thanks.

This person’s/girl’s/woman’s stuff on Flickr is awesome sauce.
True fact.

  I asked students, for half of their required discussion board entry/class blog entry, to find an image on Flickr (again, hopefully from the Creative Commons area) that related to something in our reading this week (out of the book: everything’s an argument) and then place a quote they liked on the image using Pixlr.com. Here are a few neat ones.

^^ So, the guy who took the pictures above did it as his own project. “After two years of photography, i wanted to build a project to challenge my creativity and discover some new horizons. This is how this project was born. My goal is to take 60 shots, on predefined themes or choosen quotes.” I’m definitely thinking that a smaller version could work in the Alternative Style portion of my Creative Writing class. Yay.

^^ Said by Thoreau. So very cool. I love him.

All found under searching for “quotes” in Flickr (Creative Commons).

Today, I wish I had the ambition to start my marathon training. With my current state of ambition, I’ll end up signing up for the 10K instead of the Full. That could be good & bad. Hmph.

Meanwhile, my itty bitty pink netbook has been shipped from Target.com

(w/my 10% coupon, it was $288ish), and my Urban Outfitters package should arrive this week too. PRESENTS!

Now, for coffee.
