Dream House

So I had a dream last night about a house. It was nifty. Maybe not my dream house but a dream about a house. It was odd in that Pauly Walnuts and Sal were there too.

The house was on a street, lots of trees. Maybe like a creek in the back of the lots of houses.

The house had a wall around around it. The wall had windows, there seemed to be about six feet from the wall to the house. The windows of the house aligned to the windows in the wall giving a neat effect of seeing in. Rock lined pathway leading to the door. Lots of deep red color for the paint on the windows and inside the house with some turquoise blue. It did not really like the windows, but not sure why. So if you know where this house is located please let me know.

On a side note: what does the legislation have in mind for education once they are completely gutted it with funding? When it fails what is the plan?

Plagiarism
So easy to copy and paste 
Greetings Sequoyah, 

I follow Laura Gibbs, a professor from OU, on social media. With the start of the new semester she covers a lot of writing groundwork with her students. I really like her page on plagiarism. The entry on patchwork plagiarism is great as in middle school I think it is the type of plagiarism we see reflected in a lot of student work.

TTT - Class Dojo Sorting

Class Dojo
Sort students by first/last name 
Greetings Sequoyah, 

Like the sorting hat of Harry Potter it is often difficult to determine just where students belong. Alphabetical by first name on the board makes it difficult for me to find them on the Infinite Campus roll sheet. Never fear. A quick search on the interwebs and the solution was presented. Go to the class and settings. Display settings and sort by last name. So easy. Wish I would have searched for that solution earlier.

Thanks and don't forget to be awesome, 

Andy
