So, today I have found myself in the Prayer Room trying to get work done. Granted, I have done my fair share of goofing off, but I wanted to get my Aimsweb Database setup and my data entered. In the district I teach in, this is a requirement for our teachers who have Learning Disabled students. Truth be told, I agree with the system itself. It is a great way to get a glimpse of a student's progress in a fast way. HOWEVER, after spending the past 90 minutes attempting to get it all setup, I have stopped. (And I'm pretty good with computers. Not great, but pretty good.) I realize it isn't that hard, but I have hit a wall. According to Randy Pausch, in his book The Last Lecture walls are there to help us work through things so that getting past it is worth the effort. (paraphrase of course) So, while I realize there's a wall, I'm going to stop at the moment. Perhaps the wall won't seem quite so frustrating tomorrow. Right now, I'm ready to toss my computer out the window...which isn't good. I am walking away. Who knows? Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and the wall will be easy to get over. But for now, I see myself turning the computer off and walking away...
Later!
