Get to Class! -Blogging in IP30

Hey, those of you who were in class last day (track day) saw the picture of the type of moth I found in my yard. It was about the size of my hand! It must have just emerged from its coccoon (which was about the size of my thumb), and it was drying out and flexing its wings to unfold them, just like it describes in this article. The next morning, it was still clinging to its cocoon, but it was joined by a smaller moth with similar patterns (the male?). This also fits with what it says in the article about the female sending out pheremones to attract males at night. The other interesting thing in the article is that it lays eggs for the rest of its life (which is only a week or so, since adults don’t have mouths to eat with!) How’s that for some little known facts?

Now, getting on task…

I am attending an Outdoor Education conference for the rest of this week. I’ll tell you about it when I return, or in the blog if I find any internet access. In the meantime, I need you to know to attend to the following:

• If you are working on a yearbook page layout that can be completed now, please work on this first. This includes badminton, track (upload pictures) and some grad pages (mugs are uploaded already); for the page that matches grads as kids with now, do these need to be scanned from the poster near the office, or are there suitable images in the public drive?)

• Continue the Word or Excel module beta-testing. By Friday, I need you to print out your progress, and organize it in your portfolio to be checked on Monday. If you finish these modules and your feedback (please be specific and constructive with your feedback please), and organizing your portfolio, please take a look at either the Scanning & Design module or the Digital Manipulation module (still in a draft version, but has enough content and links to work with) and begin working with the content.

Take care. I’ll see you (and your portfolios) on Monday. Please be detailed in your log sheets.
