Yeah, that was fascinating.
Yeah. He's my hero.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Our wings are not tired
A year ago an Apple Store employee told me that noise-canceling earbuds did not exist.
A year ago he was wrong as well. I have the model before this one and have been using them for at least 3 years now, and they weren't a new model when I purchased them.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Does anyone here have any Blackboard experience? We are using it to manage some distance learning assignments that involved scanning and uploading the assignments. Some of the students do not have scanners, so they are sending me hard copies. I need to upload them to Blackboard so the instructor (also distance) can grade them). However, I can't upload them like I am the student, and they do not show in the "needs to be graded" view for the instructor.
Any idea other than emailing the scanned items back to the student to upload them?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sophia, I can't think of anything that would get Blackboard to act like it was submitted by the student. I sometimes had students submit things via email (the equivalent of what you'd be doing) and it was tedious to make sure I didn't miss anyone's anything.
I suppose they could submit a blank "see email" assignment, so that it showed up as "needs to be graded"

That is actually a great idea! Then I can attach it to that in the notes sectyion for the instructor to see. We are using BB to keep records rather than me keeping a paper file on each student (because this is a class that certifies a nurse to assist in surgery, we have to have records of their clinical hours)

Not sure if this is a helpful option for them or not but I just got a scanning app on my phone and it's pretty nifty. I was surprised at how well the scans came out.

What's the scanning app called, Kristen?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I have about 3 scanning apps on my iphone and I'm not happy with any of them. And yet,California accepted it for my birth certificate request. So perhaps my standards are so high no one can meet them?
