Here is a list, to date, of the school district policies created by the superintendent and his technology team because of me (no joke – I found out in a district meeting today):

1. The Incident – No one remembers why I was called that, but it involved either printing to printers at other schools or trying to unlock iDVD without permission
2. You must be on contract for the following year to teach summer school. I left the district last year for a little bit having been offered a higher paying job that was closer to home. BUT I was not angry with the district nor did I resort to usual “just quit” attitudes/setting people’s toupees on fire. They had never had anyone be nice when they resigned, especially one who still wanted to work for the district over the summer.
3. Student e-mails need to follow a specific fake e-mail domain if the student has no real e-mail of their own. This one was just created this week. The district is issuing a two page statement because of me. We were doing D-Day soldier blogs. I told the students to put “fakeemail@dday.com”. Yeah, there’s an actual dday.com and he became unwittingly subscribed to receive every single post to a two teacher forum.
   The estimate from the district mail server tech was, by the end of the World War II assignment, 40,000 e-mails from our district. When the district people told me that, the librarians in the meeting with me joined in my raucous, uncontrollable laughter.

Other e-mails were sent to people whose names sounded like Bart Simpson phone taunts.

In other library news, Devin will appreciate that a kid was so excited with the “new” book in the library, the Krytos Trap, that he wondered if there were any other books like it.

There are positives
and negatives – no, wait – nerd
librarians rock.
