When I first started this blog,
many years ago, I tried to make it a one-stop for all Intermediate students and
their parents. I wanted it to be someplace where students would be able to
access links and material that would enable them to succeed not just in my
class, but in every class. I wanted students to make my blog their homepage
until they graduated college!
I soon discovered that trying to
the Super Wal-Mart of blogs was a bit like herding cats; it might be possible,
but it was going to be awfully difficult and in the end all I would have was a
herd of cats (I actually do), numerous scratches, and more hairballs than I
could ever clean-up. I would also have a blog that took forever to load and was
very difficult to navigate. In the end, I removed all the content and created
several blogs that will eventually have all the content, but will be organized
based on the needs of each level.
While not as challenging as
herding the aforementioned cats, this is still proving to be time-consuming
because I want to make sure that every aspect is organized and easy-to-use for
students and parents.
Those of you that have been using
my blog as a resource since its creation will likely be disappointed for a few
months as the content slowly begins to find its way back. I sincerely hope
that, once I’m finished, you will see that the wait was worth it.
The “My Blog List” in the left
column contains all the blogs that will eventually have all the content, and
more, that was previously on Mr. Lawslo’s Blog. If any of my former students
have comments or suggestions please use the comment button on the most recent
post.
One thing that will not be
returning is a post outlining the weekly schedule. Thanks to Google Calendar I
have replaced that with an embedded calendar that should make things much
easier and make blog loading quicker. There are numerous other advantages that
I will be making available to students and parents as the year progresses. All
you need to do is click on the assignment and it will expand for more
information. Gradually, I will be using this to provide links to documents,
quizzes, and numerous other materials.
Check back often to see the
changes!
