Textbooks. Joy.
Had an 8:40 AM education class today. I didn’t handle 8:40 AM classes well when I had no kids, was single, and lived five minutes from the classroom building. Throw in the wife, kids, and 75-minute commute, and hoo-boy, have I been a zombie today.
Did some textbook orders for my fall classes – thank goodness for databases that let you do searches by ISBN code. I didn’t realize that we’re apparently shifting to longer 13-digit ISBN codes, but there is unsurprisingly a copious amount of ISBN information on Wikipedia.
I’m also looking for textbooks on economics and various topics in world history for my own use. I may have found some candidates – I’ll report back – but if anyone wants to toss suggestions into the comments, go for it.
About Dave Thomer
Born and raised in Philadelphia. Studied philosophy at Fordham University in the Bronx, where I made many great friends and met my wonderful wife. We moved back to Philadelphia, where I studied philosophy some more and became a teacher. Online and off, I'm looking for ways that we can be better citizens and build stronger communities.
