faces…

I never forget a face, but in your case I’ll be glad to make an exception.

So i found this through a friend that i have recently re-connected with through the wonderful time vortex: Facebook. I have to admit that the technology behind this little piece i find really amazing.

My heritage’s celebrity look a-likes.
My advanced tech students have never blogged with such fervor. We took head shots, ran the utilitiy, posted to our blogs and then commented on the results and talked a little about how we thought the program was working.
This group is currently completing a SumoBot rotation and was in need of a “break” before getting “into the ring” next week.


The most frustrating part of the process is the way that learnerblogs is up, down and all over the place for student entries. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t; sometimes it works on one computer and not on the one next to it; and perhaps worst of all sometimes it appears to be working right up until it is time to post, then it dumps us. I didn’t have these problems during first semester and technical stumbles like this are the kind of things that drive me crazy. In my classes as well as while doing integrated tech projects, they can kill an excited motivated group of students in no time at all.
I suppose i am getting what i paid for.
