When I show videos in my classroom I use an old VCR atop my newer DVD/VCR combo because, as I without premeditation informed our technology resources teacher, the new VCR makes “dirty noises.”
Yesterday morning, in the presence of another teacher, she said, “I’m still chuckling about your dirty noises.”
“She told me about it,” said the other teacher, also laughing–”and [the assistant principal], too.”
“You’re the topic of the lunchroom,” the techie said.
I hung my head in (albeit mock) shame as I left the room, but only until she added, “You, of all people!”
