Our view of San Francisco from Mt. TamalpaisApril is the cruelest month they say, but I can't really say for sure from halfway through. It does not look that promising at the moment.
Exceedingly fine Adventure Education experience in San Francisco in March however; busing, BARTing, marching and tramping day after sunny day through the various districts of the city - Mission, Castro, Chinatown, Upper Haight, Lower Haight, Delores Park, Sunset, Presidio, Golden Gate Park and north of the big bridge to the top of Tamlapais, Angel Island, Deep Ravine/Rocky Point and Stinson Beach.
Return to remodeled LMS library a low point but still not enough to take the shine away from the previous week.
Kindle II field tested on this same excursion; a great little machine for reading, finding, getting books, newspapers, magazines as well as surprisingly a useful 3G web browser. This device will be made available to others as soon as I have figured out a few more of its many capabilities.
Eng/Soc Block and Publications rolling along enjoyably. In-depth study of colonial America through historical fiction, primary documents, music, documentary video proceeding simultaneously with Native American study using at this point a fictionalized account entitled Ishi: Last of his Tribe by Theodora Kroeber.

Moodle use continues to expand; students seem to like using it for basic interactions with course materials and quizzes. Trying new parts of the software like forums and glossary modules.
WASL raising its ugly head this week and next; so much for so little.
