Cheating or Not?

I found this on Pinterest eons ago.  If a student were to do this on exam day, would this be considered cheating, not or just plain clever?

Brush up on your French skills and find the full tutorial here.

Special note to my students: Feel free to do this on a non-exam day, ok and make sure you show me :)

QR Codes {for a Tech Tuesday Flashback}

It isn't too late to lace all your school syllabi, documents, assignments, business cards, and desserts with QR codes.  Really, it doesn't get any easier than Delivr.

See the instructions here for this Tech Tuesday flashback.

And if you scan the above QR code, it will take you right back to Upcycled Education.  Ha!

We just can't get enough of each other, can we?

Life Updated: Early January Edition

I am already liking 2013.  

Our family's usual ski lift photo.....

I think Lil O's legs are growing again.  Don't they look so long here?

I'm 100% certain my parents will appreciate this photo taken by a real photographer and not my iPhone via Instagram.  Happy, parents?

I could cry I love these sled dogs so much.  I wonder what they think about being in the Ullr Fest Parade.

It's tradition for Lil O and Mr. UpCyclist to climb snow hills during our breaks from skiing.  I love their silliness.

Speaking of love, I love going to Colorado and spending time with our friends there.  Special Note: The name tags the adults are wearing were crafted by Lil O and her local friend, R.

Ahhhh, 2013.

Time to Make Your Textbook Quotes

If you are like me and haven't started classes yet, you have time to prepare your textbook quotes for this activity from Professor KP - who is a busy bee working on her doctorate.  Yay, Ms. Smarty-pants, Professor KP!

Click here to see the original instructions.  Her idea is such a clever way to make the most out of those expensive textbooks students are forced to buy.

All the best,

Jen

PS - And yes, I struck-through the are forced to buy part on purpose.  You know how I feel about expensive textbooks.  I wish all students, who need textbooks, would use the frugal, discount buying options here.
