Delicious

I don't think I would use delicious. The only thing that I saw about delicious that I liked was the notes section where you could write down your thoughts at the time of tagging the page. Other than that I would probably just prefer to use the bookmark function that I currently use. I kind of feel like it would just be clutter on the toolbar. I can see it working for others but not for me.

Spreadsheets

I would use a spreadsheet in my classroom. As far as organization goes I think that anything that helps is a good thing. That is exactly what I feel a spreadsheet does, it keeps you organized. I think that by using a spreadsheet rather than a calculator you can see things more clearly. It is also easier to go back to something if you need to make a change. As I become more familiar with the spreadsheet it should also become quicker, thus saving me time.

About Me

Well...My name is Sam. I grew up in Rockwall, Texas. I currently live in Dallas about 5 minutes from downtown near the Baylor Medical Center and that makes my drive to Commerce very tiresome. I have lived in Dallas for the convenience and work but was recently laid off due to the tough economic times. So, now I live in Dallas for no good reason. It's still nice though even though I complain about the drive and how I wish I lived closer to school. Let's see, I live alone so I really don't have much going on. Since I have been unemployed it has allowed me to focus more on school which has actually been a blessing. I do some welding on the side to have some type of income. I enjoy most sports, football being at the top of a long list. I think boxing is great right now. It was down for a while but it is an exciting time for the sport of boxing right now with Manny Pacquiao and the resurgence of Shane Mosely and Bernard Hopkins. I haven't decided what I want to do after school yet. I either want to teach physical education for younger kids or coach football or find a small school where I could coach multiple sports. I enjoy movies, tv, working out, and tacos. I play with a flag football team in North Dallas and devote a lot of time to that, weekend tournaments and our usual weekly game. I really enjoy being any place where there is an abundance of outdoor activities. My dad was born in Northridge, California which is just north of Los Angeles and I just love all of the outdoor opportunities that the area offers as well as the climate, that permits you to participate. Well...it was tough to think of things to write but I guess I have gone on enough. I am sure we will get the chance to share more.
