Forecast for San Angelo today was rainy with high mold and grass, which translated into forecast of high productivity on my Writing Project book study and lessons. 

What else can you do when you are forced inside?

My ABYDOS training came in handy, as I built a research lesson using many of the tools they shared: Classical Invention from Elizabeth Cowen and TRIPSQA , a method of organization and research. 

My notebook from the ABYDOS training.

I also played with Wiki, Prezi, Mindomo, and a few other apps to try to get an understanding of them, and how students might be able to use them to write and publish. I discovered, for example, that Prezi is limited in that it doesn't allow the author to embed outside links (with the odd exception of Youtube videos). I need to find a presentation app that will meld with all other forms of multimedia. Preferably one that is free.

And I didn't once get sucked into Facebook's black hole of distraction. 

I think that is the best thing out of the entire day!
