mom31257 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 that they are afraid could get lost in the upgrade? I'm teaching physics next year, and I'm going through a lot of threads and saving links and posts. I haven't had it since college, so I'm going to need all the help I can get! Am I the only one? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Not I. I’ve reached a point in my thinking where I’ve stopped (ok, I have significantly reduced) hyper-vigilance to the “what if...â€s in life. I think it’s great if you already know you need the physics resources for a planned upcoming class, and you know of some of them on the board to go and get. Perfect - I hope you have a great upcoming class! My comment isn’t a rebuke of your backing up things. I think it’s more about how I used to think “but I *might* need this†or “but this *might* happen†or “this is too valuable not to hang on to†and spend a great deal of time in resource procurement or conteigency research for things. It began when I was in teacher Education post-bac, saving old textbooks, activity handouts from other teachers, posters, CDs of clip art, film canisters, etc. And as a homeschool mom saving outlines of classes I *might* teach or handouts to go with a program I *might* use. I later saw that those things that *might* have been usually did not happen, or that my preparation was excessive and actually unneeded because solutions and resources were easily come by when needed. AND, the resources I had were often dated. I am still a proponent of reasoned preparation. But I have moved out of a state of preparation because of fear of not having access to something in the future. The hive is an amazing resource, a repository of the wisdom of experience and the cleverness of intelligent Homeschoolers. But it’s ultimate value, to me at least (anymore), is in the continual contribution of members to the topic at hand. I’m looking forward to all the new! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Targhee, I definitely get your point! The physics information is what I was concerned about, so it's the only topic I've been doing a "search and rescue" on. I remembered some great posts while doing research in the last few months and remembered thinking how helpful they would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Nah... If there was info I wanted at any point to save, I would have saved it already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 No. If I need something and can't find it later I will do what I do now, just ask. No one seems to mind (too much) giving information on resources again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRobinson Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) I'm going through the free curriculum thread and adding links to my bookmarks. But only the ones I know I'm really interested in using this coming school year. I probably would have done that anyway, I'm just doing it early just in case that thread is hard to find or the links are glitchy with the move. :) Edited March 23, 2018 by MrsRobinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Nah... If there was info I wanted at any point to save, I would have saved it already. Yes, and I hadn't saved it yet. The co-op just decided last week that they wanted the class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I'm sure they've got everything backed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I copied the "Support" link into a Word doc in case I have trouble logging on again and need them to walk me through it. Other than than I expect we will be able to find things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 You're not the only one. Hopefully they've got a good back-up to the cloud, and a good secondary back-up....but I'm researching pre-calc and a few things I know I'll need in the next month now.

Ausmumof3 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I'm always drowning in curriculum ideas anyway so not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
