FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!...There's an APP! YA! YA!

You've been ipad-ing away...when all of a sudden...

YOU NEED FLASH!

First you think.... What?...I need Dawson's dad....

What...Lit Maven?

Oh...ok?!

Well...maybe not THAT Flash...but either way you are disappointed.

But WAIT!

There is a solution named ROVER!

ROVER allows you to access educational sites that run on flash. 

Use it like a browser and ROVER does all the Flash-Battling for you!

A great alternative to throwing your ipad in the air and screaming like a goat.

Good point Lit Maven!

I know...right!

Now here is a little Mick Jagger...remember....to sing along FLASH!! FLASH! FLASH!!..There's an APP! YA! YA!

Until Next Time,

Lit Maven Out!



Beaker wants to know....What is with the school bells?

Bells...

Why do we have them in schools?



Angel wing ceremonies?

Is this a good reason?

Well...to me...school bells feel more like this!



Perhaps we can think of other ways to gather children...

If we can herd cats without bells...we can certainly herd children....



Anyone know of some great alternatives? Gathering songs? Anything....

Until Next Time,

When Animals Lie...You Need Billy Joel More Than Ever!!!

The Lit Maven has been recovering after a snow storm blanketed the city.

 It was ugly....

But what was  truly ugly...the bunny...

The bunny lied!

Lit Maven...bunnies don't lie..

Well...this one did!

Tuesday it had a full coat of brown fur...

I thought....Yay...Maybe the snow will stay away...Bunnies know nature...

or so I thought...

Bunny lied...it snowed Wednesday!

Damn sneaky mustache...

Bunnies do not celebrate Movember...

they celebrate...

NO-Vember....

Turns out...
Bunny was actually tanned...
not brown..
and on its way to Hawaii...

How can I trust again?

Sing it Billy!



Until Next Time,

When I Think of Halloween...I Think Of Huey Lewis

Also...I think of being too tall at the age of 12....that's what I think of.

"How old are you lady?" (circa 1989)

Me thinking...."Lady? But I am just Lil - Lit Maven" 

(I was not actually the Lit Maven then...but seriously...can anyone remember when I wasn't?)

Yes...back in the old days, Halloween was for young short people. Like this guy....



But I have matured and I am no longer bitter that I was 5 foot 7 at the age of 12.

Ah Lit Maven...you sound bitter...

Ok...I have some residule bitterness...but hey!... enough about me....

Here is one of MY favorite Halloween moments in film... ...not educational...entertainment only...note I switched in Jen A. for Mike J.



and a song that has nothing to do with Halloween but is filmed to reflect a halloweenish nature....

Halloween-ish ....Lit Maven?

Whatever....tall people hear words differently than short people...

Take it away Hugh!

LiveBinders...Gilda Radner Says Yes!

So...where to begin...

It is nice to know that my last post is somehow still current...

Thanks Lindsay and Amanda!

Since the last week of August, I have put "running like Van Halen" on hold  and replaced it with

HOT YOGA!!!





Yikes! Lit Maven!

I know...

I don't even want to know what rock band I resemble in my poses...

it's probably not even appropriate to say anyway.

But I am down one size!

YAY!

However the compliments I get are usually about my presentations...

Last time I was Amy Farrah-Fowler....

The newest one....

Gilda Radner....

Who Lit Maven?



Oh...Lit Maven..that's interesting...and weird too!!!

I know right...I think it was a compliment....

Clearly you are having some problems getting focused on your talents.

Newsflash!!!!

Y'all aren't drivers...nope...you are not like:

LiveBinders...Taylor Lautner Says Yes!

I'm embarrassed...

The running Lit Maven?

Well...yah....I am a silly looking runner...but...it's worse!!

How could it be? Lit Maven?

I confess...

I watched a Taylor Lautner movie......GASP!

                                  ("At least you weren't in one with him" -Ms. Swift)

By choice....EVEN GASPIER!!!

(How rude?! - Michelle T)

 

In surround sound.... GASP-OP-OLIS!!!

Oh Lit Maven...where is this going?

Well...sometimes you need to watch something REALLY bad to move on and do something REALLY creative...

OR ....save yourself the pain....and check out this LiveBinder on creativity 
Tech Tools to Support Creativity in the Classroom

So....you have two choices!

1) Check out my new venture and let me know what you think or how I can make it better....at  www.brandijclark.com or as I call it Vanilla Armpits.

or

2)  Watch Taylor Lautner fall....



Enjoy! Either way!

Until Next Time,
Lit Maven Out!
