Am I the outlier or am I just old school?

As long as I can remember, when writing down the time by hand, I write the hour big and the minute as a superscript to that.  I must have been taught this somewhere along the way?  But when I do this on the board for my classes, my students have to puzzle it out - sometimes only figuring out what those cryptic numbers are months into the school year.

Note:  my school has very odd start and stop times for our teaching periods.

Class starts at 12:48 and ends at 1:34!

When I am observed by administration they always note "Mr. Rideout has an agenda posted on his board: Great teaching technique!"  However, what they don't know is that I post the agenda for myself or else I might just tell stories from the Viscotek days or the vineyard all block!

School Projects, Old Blogs, Great Minds?

Recently, Isabelle shared a project she made for one of classes (the assignment was the make an accurate map using specialized software - the details are a bit fuzzy for me).  

In any case, as soon as I saw it, I thought - this reminds me of an old blog post of mine!

(for the record, she got an A and they asked if they could use it as an exemplar in future classes)
