I set out looking for ways to set up an electronic library catalog using free catalog software and found the ideal system: A free web application that could be installed and run on pretty much any junky old computer and accessed locally (or publicly, if you wish).

I haven’t posted content in forever since I’m busy switching careers from the information technology sector to education. Oh who am I kidding… the reason I didn’t post is I got lazy. Actually, I’m posting now because I’m busy. I’m in Los Angeles Unified School District’s (LAUSD) District Internship program so I can get a teaching credential. Meanwhile, I have to find my own teaching job, which means– yep… I’m back in the jobhunting game.
With new adventures come new experiences, which means I learn more. And, since this site is about things I learn, that means more content! Woohoo! However, comics are still on hold because of laziness. :oP :o) Sorry!
I’m trying to find a job teaching either physics or computers at one of LAUSD’s high schools or middle schools. My first step is to find schools I’m interested in teaching at, then distribute my resumes to them. If you’re also doing the jobhunt thing, you may find some of the tips below helpful, even though you’re not applying for a teaching job in LAUSD.

I am now a teacher, so naturally my posts will be more teaching-oriented. However, I have not detached myself from my computer side (I actually teach two periods of a computer class)… thus, I give you… stuff that’s relevant to teaching and computers. Yesss!
Keep in mind I’m in LAUSD, so my posts may be more relevant to teachers in LAUSD.
Q: Can I download a YouTube video to my computer to show in class later?
(Some background info on this question: All LAUSD schools block access on their networks to YouTube (and other sites). Even if you don’t have this problem, you may want to save a YouTube video in case you don’t want to rely on having internet connection during your lesson.)
