Move Over Bacon, Here Comes Nick Jonas

If you hit F12 on a Mac, you can find all sorts of fun things - a calculator, a weather forecast, a calendar, a clock, etc, etc.

You can also leave a note for yourself. Apparently, when students in my class are supposed to be working on the school laptops, they also occasionally goof off. Some leave notes and then the next day or so when another student uses the laptop or maybe a student in another class uses it, there is a message waiting for them.

The other day, a student pointed out to me that people were leaving notes for each other. At first, I put on my teacher face and got annoyed, "You should be working not leaving notes for each other!" But when I saw the note, how was I supposed to remain angry?

those kids are learning quickly how to butter up a teacher for favorable treatment. i can where this goes next: one of the distracts you with flattery while another pilfers a copy of next week's test (at least that's how it would work in the movies).

I don't think you should be angry about them leaving notes, you should be angry about their atrocious grammar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
