Getting ready for a new year of teaching!

I've been getting prepared for the new year of classes.  This coming semester I will have two honor's classes and two regular classes with no planning period.  Because I'll have no planning, I've been going in to school every day for a few hours to prepare.  I have to get my lessons onto Powerpoint now, since we've gone "digital".  This year all students will have laptops, which should be interesting.  I'm sure they'll get really good at multi-tasking (texting, email, tweeting, and looking at porn, while appearing to be paying attention).  My tablet I'm supposed to use this year didn't work, so I sent it to central office to be replaced and I still don't have it.  Oh, and we've received no training whatsoever in how to teach with the laptops.  I haven't even been trained on how to use my tablet to control the overhead projector.  So, looks like another year of being completely unprepared, right?  I'm also going to try to do better at posting on here.  So, stay tuned!
