Dear Louis,
I saw on my Google analytics that someone from Chile checked my blog a few days back. Since you are the only one I know remotely connected to Chile at the present, I just wanted to give you an official hi and hope that you are living it up with the science, shiving, and the siestas.
Rock on bro.

License to teach
So guess what,
I am a school teacher,
at a high school,
where I teach history,
and have the key to my own classroom.
ISN'T THAT NUTS??!!
I just finished the Cold War with my US History/World Civ class and the US Cabinet with my Government class.
I gave my first semester grade yesterday. He got an A-
Ummmmmm, so thats why I haven't been blogging a ton, or at all. Its because I actually am doing something productive and using my college degree for something other than a file separator.
More to come. Send me ?'s and I'll shoot out some answers.

Instructional design
For those of you who don't know what instructional design is, you are wrong. You actually do. We all know what it is, but some of us don't know what to call it, or even recognize it when it happens.
Here is a decent definition of instructional design.
Most people participate in instructional design on a regular basis. Parents are the ultimate instructional designers. If you have ever tried to teach something to somebody, you have (albeit perhaps a bit unconsciously) done some instructional design.
Instructional design is something I do all the time. Lets call it one of my favorite hobbies (mostly because I am not getting paid yet to do it professionally yet). I enjoy it, and am getting better and better with each formal try.
Here is my latest attempt. This is a simple method for creating a meaningful scripture study with a ordered string of connected goals to use the method with. I worked it out in mind for those of us who need to rediscover the power of scripture study. I'd love some feedback, especially if you want to try it out with me.

quote of the yesterday #4
An exchange from last night's unsolicited reading time commentary:
Allison: "Puberty."
Brian: "Pirate puberty?"
Louis: "Hmmm. Hits you like a freight train."
