iseroma live moves to Sundays

February 9th, 2010

iseroma live, one of the most popular features of iseroma.com (and a great way to get your office hours), is moving to Sundays, 8:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

I’m moving iseroma live to Sunday nights because Tuesdays were crazy for me and because many of you wanted to change the day.

Right now, iseroma live is only for my advisees.

Isero Advisory called ‘studious, cute’

December 16th, 2009

Today we had our Advisory Closure, and despite the several instances of grumbling, the proceedings went well. Enrique reminded people to bring food, and Octavio provided the entertainment.

Before the fun began, Mr. Isero forced his advisees to do SSR, review a Winter Break assignment (the only Advisory homework in the school!), and write a nice letter to a peer.

The complaints and sarcastic comments abounded, especially when Principal Rood entered the room. Charity remarked that Mr. Isero is “always studious” and Chezlyn noted that the Isero Advisory was “going to college.” Ms. Rood called the group “the second cutest Advisory” after Ms. Turner’s, which was decorating ornaments down the hall.

All in all, it was a successful event. Students even decided to clean up! Now that makes any adviser happy!

Welcome to iseroma.com’s new design

December 3rd, 2009

After two years, iseroma.com gets a new look today. I hope that you like the redesign: brighter, cleaner, happier.

Besides looking good, the new design is geared to encourage more students and families to interact with the site. I’m hoping that students, especially my advisees, will post original content and that everyone will feel free to interact with each other and write comments.

Go ahead! Find a post and then write a comment!

The redesign is only one of the ways I’m hoping to improve iseroma.com. There will also be more improvements over Winter Break. If you have ideas about how to improve iseroma.com, please leave a comment!

Adv: Attendance assignment due Wed

October 4th, 2009

We’re getting into the habit of the every-other-week Wednesday assignment. Last week, your progress report was due (although only 5 of you turned it in). This Wednesday, it’s the Attendance Assignment.

Remember that you can get copies of forms at the Forms page. But here is an embedded version of the assignment that you can download or print.

The embedded version is neat: You can zoom, go full page, print, and download. I’ll be sure to embed more stuff in upcoming posts.
