Well I hope to shadow or volunteer for an occupational therapist this winter break. I am re-evaluating my career choice of getting a PHD in education. I really am not sure if I want to publish or perish for the rest of my life. I just want to teach college without the research. That pretty much only means that I could teach at a community college. Well so I am not sure what I want to do with my life....I am back to the drawing board...

 Jordan Stosich and me at the oakland temple. Then the bottom pic is of CC Sabathia the Yankee's starting pitcher warming up before the game. Lance and I went to a Oakland A's game and the A's beat the Yankees in the 12th inning. There were a lot of home runs in this game. There was even a home run in the 9th inning to cause the game to go into extra innings. My forearms got sun burnt fairly bad...lol. Oh yeah and we had seats 7 rows up from the dugout.

This is my new watch...it is sweet.

Oakland Temple

Lance and I went to church right next to the Oakland Temple.

Dear Blog readers, The new batman movie was awesome...the end.

Space Needle

Neil, Lance and me all went to a Mariner's game in Seattle. The Mariner's won the game in the 9th inning. Next Neil and I had dinner at the Space Needle. The view was awesome and breath taking. The dessert was amazing and the dinner was a little small. Well I can now cross visiting the space needle off my bucket list. The trip to Seattle was pretty sweet. Neil and I have been installing security systems mostly in Olympia and Tacoma area. Neil and I got two 50 dollar tickets for the Mariner's game for 20 bucks. We also only got charged for 1 person at the space needle. Sincerely, Rees

Update

Well I moved to Boise for the summer and I am installing security systems. I am also selling pest control door to door. So far I have 3 security systems installed and 1 pest account that I have sold. I am hoping to start installing a lot more alarms and selling a lot more pest control. Being an alarm technician means that I am on call Monday-Saturday all day everyday. I am hoping to make enough money to help make a small dent in my school fees at UNLV this fall. I will be teaching at UNLV this fall (I don't know which classes yet). UNLV is going to pay me 13,000 for the year to teach. I believe that they might be giving me a tuition waver as well. Sincerely, Rees

Best practices for blogs USU assignment

Some good practices for blogs are: Have an image or two that helps illustrate the topic at hand it's okay if they aren't directly relevant. Fill your content out to 200-500 words per entry, if you have more than that, create a series of blog posts. (http://www.volume9inc.com/2010/12/14/blogging-best-practices-checklist/). Another blog of 10 business best practices (http://socialmediab2b.com/2009/06/business-blogging-best-practices/) it says to create compelling content, and post regularly. Also in another bog (http://www.isafe.org/imgs/pdf/education/Blogging.pdf)called "safe blogging" you need to password protect your blog, don't make your blog open to others. Also don't include personal and detailed information. Your blog should be set to private if your audience is limited to friends and family.

Blogging and teaching USU assignment

According to Mighty Writers 2007-2008 Third graders (Seattle, WA) blog...you can use blogs to post a youtube video of an open house event or any other event happening at your school, just in case certain people couldn't attend a school event. Also in the (http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=65078) Brian Crosby blog they made videos and took pictures of a NASA field trip. Brian's blog made there field trip available to parents. Parents could see what there kids saw and learned about. Students could continue to post their own comments and feelings about the field trip they undertook. In another blog (http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=1337) Kathy Cassidy's blog used pics of a school project that students were working on. Also there were videos of students Christmas craft projects put online for parents and students viewing. These blogs made students' activities become "real" to parents. Parents could see and learn about what their son/daughter were working on in class. The online videos were probably a lot more exciting to parents to be able to visually see what their kids were doing in school. Also parents could see their kids' classmates in school and how their kids were acting in school during the videos. The pictures taken in these blogs said a thousand words more than what a young child could say he/she was doing in school.
