for everyone

I've been teaching here at CSB for 3 weeks now and I still feel like a squatter. Can't help it. I belong to the SDA campus and while we have a faculty lounge there, my classes are all on the taft campus and, as far as I know, there is no faculty lounge here. Therefore, to surf comfortably, I end up spending a LOT of time at the library.

It's not so bad. The faculty corner is right beside the graphic novels and I just borrowed book 1 of The Complete Calvin And Hobbes. I have a month to return it, too.

I can borrow up to 10 books in 1 month.

I teach 2 classes. One at 8:00am and the other at 4:20pm. The gap between my classes is big and normally I would go to my Uncle Gerry's place in Malate to kill time. Unfortunately, the internet connection there is currently down so I won't be productive there. At least here at the library it is cool and quiet and well lit. The only drawback is I can't eat or drink while working.

On the upside, I got a lot of work done today. I've graded quizzes, learning journals, and seatworks of my 54 students. I'm working on the homework now. Grading the homework is subjective because I gave them movie maker assignments, so it really depends on their creativity.

My students seem to be ok with the way I teach. At least, there have been no complaints so far.

I conduct a paperless class so all their notes are online. I don't know where they save it but I taught them how to access and use googledocs. It is my hope that they actually use it. Does Yahoo have a similar feature I don't know about?

I gave a seminar yesterday on Project Management. Section FID1 was there, all of them, of which I am gratified. FFM1 were missing. I don't think I saw a single one of them there. As a matter of fact, there was no attendance from that class given to me, and every other section of BASICOM and some upperclassmen were there. I guess I will find out later during their class if anyone was there but just forgot to give me their attendance.

The library is cool. I get to plug my laptop here and everything. Drawbacks, though are:

I can't eat or drink here.
If I need to pee I have to pack up all my stuff and then unpack everything when I come back.
chairs are not padded so it is very possible my butt is getting flatter by the minute.

The only feature close enough that I can recall is the File sharing options at Yahoo!Groups where you can post files that can be accessed by your group members. But something that allows you to edit and such? Not sure.
