Hoover Riverchase Career Connection Center (RC3) designed by Goodwyn Mills Cawood for Hoover City Schools, Alabama.
This 92,000-square foot school, formerly used as a middle school contains career academies focused on health science, fire and emergency services, cyber innovation (computer programming, software development, software analysis, network security and network administration), food and hospitality, and skilled trades (carpentry, electrical work, welding and HVAC). Academies in the school are focused on creating a real world working environment with simulation labs, virtual reality learning and labs that duplicate the environments in real commercial kitchens, hospitals, fire stations, paramedic ambulances, and pharmacies.
May 16, 2007 (Wednesday) - Computers have changed how language skills can be taught.
This image is in a set called the "Daily Picture Parade". Whereas the focus of my eJournal and images blog is on ideas. Here, I can emphasize places I go by shooting and adding an image each day. I started this in July of 2005. Doing so has reminded me to constantly carry my camera to create a direct record of my personal experiences.
The four-story 50,000 sf Spieth Hall was converted into a classroom building which houses the Nursing and Psychology departments, general classrooms and additional rooms for growth. The building floor plan includes offices, conference rooms, lecture halls, computer labs, student lounges, classrooms, tiered classrooms, exam rooms, research labs, ward labs, observation rooms, simulation rooms, and medical storage. Expansion space was renovated as future offices and general classrooms. Each floor was given a theme color to help orient the occupants and create a different personality. New lighting, furniture and finishes gave the building a fresh modern look throughout.
Spieth Hall’s greatest challenge was taking a building full of small dark dorm rooms and converting it into a multi-functional academic building with large open classrooms in various sizes to fit each department’s program. Significant effort went into planning, demolition, programming, and design in order to best utilize the space and structure. Existing structural limitations of concrete columns, a concrete core, and concrete ceiling heights dictated much of what was possible since room depths between the core and the exterior walls could not change. Our team worked with the University and Department Stakeholders to design spaces that maximized the available configurations and fulfilled their goals of re-purposing their existing structure rather than having to build new ones.
Our fall Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers is off to a great start. I taught this evening course with my associates Donald Day and Edward Janne on September 14, 2016, at the woodshop in Tam High School in Mill Valley.
We welcomed a wonderful group of seven students, including adults with diverse backgrounds, as well as a high school student. We started by giving our students an overview of the popular Arduino board. We then learned how to light up an LED, add a button to turn it on and off, and play a sound with a piezzo buzzer.
Students accomplished all these steps successfully, and seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. We’re really happy that this course is going so well and we look forward to teaching next week’s class.

Another one of my resolutions is to work less. Well that one is already shot. I'm at work (during vacation!) cleaning the computers of old student files and getting ready for the next batch of 7th and 8th graders. This is my life right now. Thought it would be appropriate to place it in my 365 project.
January 2010 - Teaching can make me tired but really, I feel fortunate doing something I enjoy.
I comment about my life and opinions in my eJournal and images every single day.
