An Hour of Coding on the Farm
“Coding?! But why!?” That is exactly what went through my head when I learned that we would be exploring coding websites this week. I have an aversion to coding, for no reason, honestly. In high school, all the super smart guys took computer science classes and honed their craft by hacking the school’s computer system…
Discard or not discard, that is the question!
Or at least that’s the question I set out to answer when I decided to try an English muffin recipe that used active sourdough starter, rather than my go-to recipe from Dave that uses sourdough discard. I found a recipe entitled “Sourdough English Muffins With All Those Nooks and Crannies” on Pinterest. Well, hello, who…
You must be cheddar, because you’ve got me feeling extra cheesy today
There is nothing that isn’t made better by adding a little bit of cheese. Well, unless you are lactose intolerant, then you have to decide if that’s a risk you’re willing to take. This week, I decided to try making my first inclusion loaf! I started out with my regular dough recipe from Gigi. It’s…
Critical thinking has never been more critical
Living in a digital era provides students with access to endless amounts of information to support their learning. When choosing a topic for a report or paper, students are no longer limited by what information is held between the leatherbound covers of a specific letter of the Encyclopedia Britanica that was printed 5 years ago.…
The moment you’ve all been waiting for!!!
I kinda feel like a jerk for leaving everyone hanging last week, when I didn’t make a post about Hermione. Luckily the wait is over! Today is the day I introduce Hermione to the world, and I couldn’t be more excited!! So, without further adieu……..meet Hermione! (right click here, and open link in a new…
Let’s start a riot! But maybe don’t….
There are always a few things that define a generation. For me, it’s the sound of dial-up internet connecting, the reem paper printers and their unique ek-ek-ek-ek sound (if you know you know, links if you don’t), disposable cameras, and the thought of “I’m so glad social media wasn’t a thing when I was a…
Digital Citizenship In The Classroom
Technology, more specifically the internet, is intertwined into every aspect of human life, whether we realize it or not. For this reason, I think digital citizenship should be a topic that is addressed throughout children’s education rather than subscribing to an “abstinence-only” (Jergenson, 2012) model that deprives students of information and education that is essential…
Trash to Treasure: Discard English Muffins
You were hoping for a post about Hermione, weren’t you? I get it, I kinda left you on a cliffhanger last week. I promise there will be a Hermione post next week. A very happy post at that!! Since Gerri was destined for the trash, I figured I’d at least make use of her discard…
Confused and Discouraged
Now isn’t that a title that just draws you in and makes you want to read more? Ugh I wish I had better news this week, but unfortunately, I do not. This time I followed this recipe from Gigi on Tiktok to the T. Ok, maybe not EXACTLY to the T because my scale maxed…
A Geriatric Millennial’s Take on Participation
I feel like I should start by apologizing to anyone who found the title a bit jarring (unfortunate supporting evidence). It is hard for me to accept as well, but I think it’s important for the context of this post. As a geriatric millennial, I have experienced firsthand how the world has changed with the…
