= = = Introduction = Hi, there. My name is Lynn, and I'm wicked. No, I'm wiki-ed. Perhaps I'm wiki-ing. Wikified?

I teach at The Miquon School where my position is frequently indefensible, but you'll usually find me in one of the blended 5th/6th grade classrooms (often my own). My school's website is www.miquon.org, and my classroom website can be accessed directly by going to www.lynnsgroup.org.

One of the things I like about my job is that I have a lot of control over what and how I teach; another thing I like is the community of colleagues we have at Miquon -- interesting, dedicated people with enormously varied interests and talents.

= Don't You Hate It When. . . =

Don't you hate it when someone wants you to spend time putting up this silly practice wiki when you could be working on the real one that you've already created? (Actually, I did learn a couple of things from it, but . . . )

= Oops! =

A confession -- I didn't read the instructions on the table of contents, and I created it from scratch by using anchors. But I've read the directions now and will know how to do it in the future. I'm just so impulsive and over-confident. ..

= Un-Oops! = Well, sometimes virtue is its own reward, and sometimes vice just comes back to haunt you. There is now an orthodox TOC at the top of this wiki. A colleague asked for help with hers, and I realized that I should test my own advice before I passed it on to her. And it turned out to work. But I would like to move it to the center, and I don't think I can. Darn! Also, while I'm confessing failures, I had trouble adding the final un-oops header to this in a way that spanned the line -- forgot how I did it -- so I had to go into the HTML code and deal with it from there. Don't ever think that you don't need the fundamentals. DOS, HTML, making fire by rubbing 2 sticks together -- they're all still with us.
