Most of today was test review. [You know there's a test on Monday, right?] Please check the handout folder for a copy of the review handout (ICS3M_RvwNotes_1.doc) that we looked over in class.
I also asked a number of students (at random) to put questions from last night's homework on the board. No. one. (that I asked) had. done. it. Here's the threat. If no one sees fit to do the homework then I'm going to get all Grade 9-ey and start going round the class and checking homework and calling home and stuff. Let's not go there. Last warning.
On a lighter note, I mentioned a flash game that targeted the programming skill set. It's behind the school firewall but the link is here. It's neat and making it work does actually have something to do with programming skills. Check it out.
Last thing. I stumbled across this article on online literacy - or the lack thereof. The basic argument is that in spite of all the hopes that the "online experience" would produce a renaissance of literacy, the experience of consuming text online is somehow impaired. It certainly reflect my own experience consuming text online (and I spend a lot of time on the net). I'm all about loving computers and the massive uber-connectiveness that is the SeriesOfTubes but I'm also a long-time book reader from before the dawn of time (ca. 1966) with a big hardcopy library. There are some important ideas in the article.
Good luck on Monday. Have a good weekend!
