Spring Fling

 

Ok, I finally see it. The tender blooms sprouting from the sticks in the ground, the greenish yellow stubble on the tree skeletons , and the pinks and purples protruding, the whites and yellows yearning to free themselves from the depths of winter. DC's spring is like a prize for those who endured the long (maybe just my California clock) and bitter (also my California thermometer) winter. This weekend I'm hoping to enjoy the sights of spring from my new Schwinn.

WATESOL Workshop

As an ESL teacher of primarily young adults, I need to keep up with technology before it completely changes and even email becomes passe, or has it already? It's a cold and rainy Saturday morning and yes I'd rather be in bed in pajamas, but I am committed to improving my teaching techniques and methods. So here I am at the WATESOL Spring Workshop on Integrating Technology into the ESL Classroom at the University of Maryland. It was a 30 minute metro ride and a 7 dollar taxi ride, was it worth it? You've got my attention.
