Today was our first day back at school after Christmas Break. I always have a little bit of nervous, excited energy when we come back to school after a break, and I certainly did this time. Last night I could hardly sleep and I tossed and turned thinking about seeing my students again and starting […]
Last week, we returned to school after Christmas break. Monday was a teacher workday, so I worked all day on grades and lesson plans for the week. In googling ideas for activities, I came across this site. There I found an inquiry style worksheet to help students discover the sum of the interior angles in a triangle. The file I found was actually a key, so I created my own based on that and tweaked it to fit my interactive notebooks (INBs). On Tuesday, I gave my students the worksheet and a half sheet of (their choice of) colored paper and a few minutes to work on the activity. We had a discussion about what they found, then they glued it into their INBs. They seemed to like it so much (or maybe that's just how I perceived it!), that I made another one for discovering the relationship between the two remote interior angles and the exterior angle for Wednesday. Triangle Angle Sums Inquiry Wkst This is what it looks like in the INB. Exterior Angle Theorem Inquiry Wkst This is what it looks like in the INB.
Over the Christmas break, after the turkey, presents and general mayhem, I found time to sit down, relax and enjoy one of my favourites new pastimes - Pinterest!!

I love Making Music Fun. They've got great resources, from composer lessons to orff orchestrations. Check out this page: Note Name Worksheet for some great printables. Here's a favorite one. After the students fill out the worksheet individually, they can go to a xylophone, piano, or set of boomwhackers to play the song. Then, they can fill in the answer using the bank below (you can also use solfege).
So I received an evaluation DVD of Windows Server 2012 at the Microsoft Boot Camp event and finally got some time to try it out. Windows Server 2012 has several enhancements to Hyper-V, failover clustering in addition to integration with Microsoft cloud services Windows Azure. I created a new virtual machine in Hyper-V 2008 R2 and booted the iso image Initially I got the following error, which turned out to be a corrupt image: A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or Hard disk driver. If you have a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive with the driver on it, please insert it now. Note: If the installation media for Windows is in the DVD drive or on a USB drive, you can safely remove it for this step. I got another good copy and proceeded As you can see there is no Enterprise edition anymore. Windows Server 2012 comes in 2 editions both of which have the same features: Standard allows you to run 2 VMs and Data Center can run unlimited number of VMs. I choose to perform a new clean installation, select the disk drive and continue The installation goes on as usual, reboots a couple of times then prompts for the Administrator password While you type the new Administrator password, you get an eye button that shows the password if you click hold it Now the setup is complete and the login screen appears After you login, the Server Manager pops up. The user interface is similar to the Windows 8 Desktop This default installation is using around 12GB of disk space and 600MB of memory Similarly to Windows 8, the Start Menu has been replaced with the Start Screen. If you hover the cursor over the lower-left corner for a while you will see Start Screen launcher, click it and you get the Metro-style tiled Start Screen, and of course you could have just pressed the Win key Right click on any empty space, a bottom bar will appear with an icon "All apps", if you click it more applications tiles will appear Right click any tile and the bottom bar will appear with more choices Click on Desktop to return back to the desktop. 2 other hot spots at the top and bottom right corners, hovering over them shows the Charms Bar Click on Settings, you will get another menu with other options such as shutdown and restart
