Camp Owls 2015 River Runners

I had the best time as a first year student staff for FAU Camp Owls 2015! Our group, River Runners, exceeded their OWN expectations every day, and I'm so proud to have seen them succeed!

Incoming freshman participated in Teambuilding and the Challenge Course before heading off to Juniper Springs Recreation Area. There, they learn to put together camp, cook simple healthful meals, and work together. They are challenged to navigate the Juniper Springs Creek (aka Divorce Canoeing) and invited to enjoy the springs!


River Runners, don't know how much fun they're about to have!
The full album can be found in my Picasa, but Blogger isn't really set up for photo sets, so here are some of my favorites!


TITANIC! Run Justin!
Achieving balance!


Team River Runners successfully organized their whole team (and a facilitator) onto the balance board without speaking, then organized them to the far edges, THEN, gave us this wonderful rendition of a classic!


Everyone did such a great job on the Challenge Course. I need to make a collage of them!

All River Runners successfully completed the Ropes Course! TEAMWORK! RIVER RUNNERS!

Kayaking down Divorce Creek, er, Juniper Creek.

Hey! Who are those super cool facilitators? OH! It's Eric and Janna!

Tree Huggers. (Thorn huggers?)

River Runners at Juniper Springs (I had to photomerge two shots, because getting freshman to all look at the camera at the same time is like herding cats)! Go River Runners!

School, Geekery, and Science!

Woops! I did not notice that my posts were getting stuck in "draft"! Here's what been published late: 20120805-11 Curiosity and News . News: KY Evolution, Medieval Germanic War . In Life: Img Src School has started again and I've got four classes, Organic Chemistry I, Genetics, Introduction for Teaching, and Introduction to Technology for Educators. For those of you of my generation let me emphasize that the latter is "intro to, technology for educators" and not "intro to technology, for educators". If you don't know the difference: instead of teaching me "Intro to Tech" (typing, how to use word, excel, etc, all that jazz) I'll be learning the programs that educators tend to use nowadays to organize students' grades, build digital classrooms, work through how the law pertaining to teaching interacts with the law pertaining to technology, etc. I'll be keeping two blogs for the class and uploading my final projec...

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon. Found via http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy_majors Official StarTrek.Com diploma (Released 2012):  I can't find any epi screenshot t...

Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
