These are some of the books that I saw at Barnes & Noble: (oh, yeah, I really like going to B&N. And when I'm there, it could mean I'll be there for at least an hour.)
- Smithsonian: Violent Earth
- The Complete Earth (Douglas Palmer)
- The Little BOok of Mathematical Principles (Robert Solomon)
- 101 Incredible Experiments for the Weekend Scientist
- Teachers Have Class (Mary Rodarte)
On another note, I also really like this "Altra cherry/black adjustable laptop cart" from Staples. http://www.staples.com/Altra-Adjustable-Mobile-Laptop-Desk/product_729375
Random: I wrote this brief description of my thesis at the beginning of the semester:
My thesis is going to be evaluating a systems and integration approach to teaching. This will entail creating and teaching lessons that demonstrate the systems inherent in the sciences as well as integrating other subject material into the lessons. The goal of integrating multiple subjects into one lesson is to show how connected the different disciplines are and how they inform one another.
I have to write things down or I will forget them. Seriously. It's bad. I make lists of the things I have planned for the next few days and in these lists I often include what time I'm getting up in the morning. And a box to check it off. Deranged, I know. But I'm not really that organized or rigid about things. Proof positive - my amazing ability to procrastinate to no end. I often clean. Productive, yes. What I really need to get done, no. Oh well.
