Tech Challenges for Us
Bandwidth. That's the shortage at my school. We are asked to not use YouTube or other streaming because of a shortage of bandwidth. We are warned that our phones and attendance system will crash if we do it too much.
That said, I will tentatively try to use streaming and see if the sky falls down.
I wouldn't care if the phones crashed. I can't access my phone messages, because the message system claims I have the wrong password, but no one seems capable of telling me what the correct password is. I don't think the phone in my room has ever rung.
The Fifties: I was a little kid. Think "Leave it to Beaver."
The Sixties: preteen and teen. Think the daughter in "Mad Men."
The Seventies: College, master's degree, work as a journalist and TV writer, marriage, and a baby. Think "Annie Hall."
The eighties: Mommyhood, some part-time work. Think "Thirtysomething."
The nineties: Drama mom, sports mom, soccer mom, part-time college instructor teaching memoir writing. Got teaching credential at the end of the decade. Think "For Better or For Worse."
This decade: teacher at San Mateo High School. Lots of graduations in my family and at the school. Think "Saved by the Bell!"
Note: I cannot figure out to underline or italicize, so I resorted to "quotes."
hahaha i'll join you ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat is bandwidth? I am in!
