Edu-fun Friday: Another Testing Dilemma

June26

testsAs Quincy Jones once remarked, “I’ve always thought that a big laugh is a really loud noise from the soul saying, “Ain’t that the truth.”

That said, Edu-fun Friday is a series devoted to adding some humor to the lives of teachers who visit this blog. After all, there’s nothing better than ending the week on a positive note! Plus, do we have the best topics to provide us with some comic relief or what?

Ever feel like you’ve been caught up in this vicious circle! What a drag!

So, yeah, I get it. This image doesn’t really apply to the edtech setting—other than it reinforces the obsession the general population has with mobile devices—but with summer vacation rapidly approaching, it’s not only hilarious, but so, so true. I bet if you visit a beach over the next few months, you might even catch a glimpse of these 21st Century tan lines! Maybe even on one of your students, colleagues and/or yourself—ha!

Maybe it’s my twisted sense of humor, but this one produced a laugh out loud moment for me—probably because I feel exactly like this on days when I’m trying to convince others that devices suchas iPads really do have educational value. ***Sigh!

OK, so it’s not really an edtech comic, but it’s funny nevertheless. And considering that today is the beginning of the last full and totally crazy month of the school year (in most districts anyway), teachers may actually find this strategy to be very useful–ha!

In any event—be an edtech gladiator. And keep fighting the good fight!

Too bad life wasn’t that simple… Or maybe it is, and we just unnecessarily complicate it. Irregardless, have a great day/weekend—and choose to be happy!

And on top of that, I needed a laugh this morning when I had to take my dogs for our daily jaunt in three inches of snow (and counting) on the first day of spring! What the what?

Anyway, I guess this comic points out that our teaching jobs are secure after all… Ha!

Funny—but at some point this scenario will probably be the norm rather than the exception. I wonder: Will the digital natives 20 years from now even know what a book is? Kind of like when you show students a picture of a flashcube or electric typewriter—items I used as a kid—and they are totally clueless.
