Yesterday disaster struck Sugarland, Richmond, and Rosenberg. This is an area that I am close to and actually use to live in. The storms dropped 11 inches of rain in four hours and lightning hit a house, which started a fire. Many people were stranded, including my sister. Fortunately, she was able to get onto 59 heading north and made it home safe.
The reason I bring this up is that I'm thinking that as an IT, I'll need to ensure that technology is up off the floors during weather events. At home, my desktop computer is quite large and it resides on the floor. However, as an IT I think it would be wise to consider the location of technology. Most items used within the classrooms should be small enough to be picked up off the ground for instance. I know that the technology repair department deals with that, but as an IT I expect I'll be in the classrooms more often and can take a quick note of where the technology is located in the classrooms.
It's just a thought.
In addition to completing work for my two final classes, I'm trying to revamp my resume. I've already changed it on my eportfolio, but need to work on a nice hard copy. This brings me to another thought this morning. I currently own two personal websites, primarily for my astronomy, storm chasing, and photography passions. However, I think regardless of which district or job I end up with, I'd like to create a website of resources both created and links to others. I think this would serve whatever staff I'm working with. In addition, I'd like to create some items to place on Teachers Pay Teachers from the research I've done on cyberbullying and technology in science.
I have many ideas coming to me as I finish off this degree. There are no words to express my excitement!!
