Best practices for blogs USU assignment

2012-01-14T13:42:00.001-08:00

Some good practices for blogs are: Have an image or two that helps illustrate the topic at hand it's okay if they aren't directly relevant. Fill your content out to 200-500 words per entry, if you have more than that, create a series of blog posts. (http://www.volume9inc.com/2010/12/14/blogging-best-practices-checklist/). Another blog of 10 business best practices (http://socialmediab2b.com/2009/06/business-blogging-best-practices/) it says to create compelling content, and post regularly. Also in another bog (http://www.isafe.org/imgs/pdf/education/Blogging.pdf)called "safe blogging" you need to password protect your blog, don't make your blog open to others. Also don't include personal and detailed information. Your blog should be set to private if your audience is limited to friends and family.

Blogging and teaching USU assignment

2012-01-14T13:18:00.000-08:00

According to Mighty Writers 2007-2008 Third graders (Seattle, WA) blog...you can use blogs to post a youtube video of an open house event or any other event happening at your school, just in case certain people couldn't attend a school event. Also in the (http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=65078) Brian Crosby blog they made videos and took pictures of a NASA field trip. Brian's blog made there field trip available to parents. Parents could see what there kids saw and learned about. Students could continue to post their own comments and feelings about the field trip they undertook. In another blog (http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=1337) Kathy Cassidy's blog used pics of a school project that students were working on. Also there were videos of students Christmas craft projects put online for parents and students viewing. These blogs made students' activities become "real" to parents. Parents could see and learn about what their son/daughter were working on in class. The online videos were probably a lot more exciting to parents to be able to visually see what their kids were doing in school. Also parents could see their kids' classmates in school and how their kids were acting in school during the videos. The pictures taken in these blogs said a thousand words more than what a young child could say he/she was doing in school.

no shave november

2011-11-09T14:17:00.001-08:00

In honor of no shave November I decided to sport a beard. I also convinced all of my roommates to grow some facial hair. I am the only one of my roommates that can actually grow any facial hair that is visible with the naked eye.

Happy birthday to me

2011-10-23T13:54:00.000-07:00

Dear fellow blog readers today I am 27 years old. Yesterday I went 4-wheeling in Grace Idaho up in the mountains with my roommates. The 4-wheeling trail was the most insane, and crazy path I have ever ridden. At the top of the mountain there was a beautiful view of Soda springs and Grace Idaho. Then on the way home we went caving and walked through an old lava flow cave in Grace Idaho. The trip was really fun and very exhausting.

I bought a Violin

2011-09-22T21:15:00.001-07:00

I bought a violin a few weeks ago online and it is pretty pimp. I am working on writing my first violin and guitar duet song. My song has lots of potential to be pretty awesome. I need to practice to become reacquainted with my violin since it has been since 2002 since I have played a violin.

Sincerely, Rees

The Rocket Summer live at Utah state

2011-09-03T21:54:00.000-07:00

I just saw the rocket summer live at utah state and they were awesome! The lead singer was playing guitar while crowd surfing. They sounded just like the goo goo dolls, and something corporate. I was way impressed with the concert.

back to school

2011-09-01T21:10:00.001-07:00

Well I am back in Logan for another year. I just presented my internship to a board of committee members. My internship is worth 6 credits so it would be nice if I got a good grade. I am still teaching first aid this semester while taking a full load of credits as well (9 credits I think). I have an extremely busy schedule this semester. So I Wont be blogging very much so enjoy this blog.

St. George Utah

2011-07-31T15:16:00.000-07:00

Well I finished my st. george internship. Now I have to write a paper about the whole experience for school and put together a binder about the internship. Then I am heading back to Idaho Falls for a few weeks then back to school at USU in Logan. I have enjoyed living in St. George and I will miss the warm weather. I could see myself returning to St. George and working and or retiring there. St. George is in the desert but it has its own special kind of beauty and unique scenery. Also I am getting sick of the long winters in Idaho and northern Utah. I would prefer dealing with two months of extreme heat in St. George over 7 months of bitter cold winter. Well I am headed back to school soon and I have two more semesters left of my masters program. Then I will be applying for jobs and considering getting a PHD.

Vegas baby

2011-06-19T12:21:00.001-07:00

Some friends in my ward and I went to Vegas for the day. We walked up and down the "strip"and saw as many sights as we could. We ate dinner at the hard rock cafe and their food and service was mediocre at best. We walked through the Bellagio, MGM, Caesars palace, the M&M store which had four levels, planet hollywood, hardrock cafe, mini Paris, mini New York and saw many other sights. Since we were only there for a day we walked fast and took pics on the run. It was my first time to Vegas so I tried to see as many sights as possible.
At one part of the trip we were walking past these people that were handing out dirty cards. When suddenly my friend Cody busted out a mormon pass along card and handed it to one of the kids who was trying to hand him a card. The kid took the card and said thanks and went back to work. I was laughing because my friend Cody is always trying to be a missionary even to people who are shady.
Las Vegas was cool to see but I dont have much of a desire to go back. I think it is cool to see once. Although I wouldn't mind returning to go swimming at Mandalee bay or ride a roller coaster or go see a concert. All in all I am glad I made the trip. I can't think of any one place in particular to recommend but I did like the bellagio water fountain show. I got a video recording but I am having difficulty uploading it to my blog.
peace sincerely, Rees

Zion's national park in southern Utah

2011-05-30T12:04:00.000-07:00

I visited Zion's national park in Utah with my roommate and some of his friends. We hiked angel's landing a 2.5 mile crazy hike. The hike was very steep and the last .5 mile you had to pull yourself up using a chain. There was one part where there was a narrow ledge you had to cross that had about a thousand foot drop on both sides. The hike had a beautiful view at the top of the summit. I will be posting pictures soon.

new spring break plans

2011-02-14T16:03:00.001-08:00

I just got a new digital camera...so hopefully soon I will be able to add some new pics to my blog. My spring break is coming up this March 7th-11th. The latest plans for spring break are to hit up Moab Utah and go biking and camping and hiking with my room mates.

2011-02-03T21:24:00.000-08:00

Another semester of school has begun. I am still teaching first aid at USU. I am currently looking for an internship for the summer. Which means I will be moving out of Logan to who knows where in Utah. Life is crazy and always full of surprises. I am currently taking a nutrition class and a program evaluation class and an exercise fitness prescription class this semester.
For spring break my room mates and I are talking about road tripping to mexico to a beach in Penasco Rocky Point. We will see if that goes down. I have always wanted to do a crazy road trip to a beach.
Well that is currently all that is worth writing down...

end of semester

2010-12-09T15:43:00.001-08:00

My finals are next week. I am almost done with another semester. It was a tough semester but I will get by with decent grades. I can't wait for the christmas break. I am enjoying my program and classes so far..so we will see what happens next semester.

Sincerely, Rees Riddoch

26 years old...

2010-10-26T17:29:00.001-07:00

I just turned 26 years old. I am teaching college and working on a masters degree. I would say I am doing pretty well for myself.

well peace, Sincerely, Rees

update

2010-10-18T15:23:00.000-07:00

Overall my students scored very well on my midterm test except for a few students. This week I am turning 26 years old. I am getting a few gray hairs on my head. I am enjoying grad school. This first semester is not that tough. Although next semester I might need to take a stats class which will be very hard for me. I got a (B+) in my undergrad stats class by a miracle. To be honest I dont know if I should've passed my undergrad stats class because I barely understood what was going on. I decided this week I am going to ask out a girl and go on one last date before I am 26years old. well peace

Midterms

2010-10-12T11:03:00.000-07:00

WIth my first research paper and presentation in grad school I earned an (A) grade. Grad school requires a lot of researching and reading but overall it isn't that tough so far. Call me crazy but I enjoy going to school.
My First aid class I am teaching has to take my midterm test that I wrote tomorrow. Hopefully I taught towards the test and my students do well on the test. If not I can always curve the test.

Peace sincerely, Rees

USU beat BYU in football

2010-10-01T21:14:00.001-07:00

I attended the USU vs. BYU football game. USU worked BYU 31-16 and it was the first time USU beat BYU since 1993. Then I rushed the field just to experience rushing the field...

Utah State in Logan

2010-09-21T15:42:00.000-07:00

Well Utah holds many new and exciting things. One thing they have here is football games and they are fun especially when we win. One more exciting thing I have noticed is that there are a lot of pretty girls in my ward. I have noticed that my apartment is "dead" socially (I am going to change that). I am enjoying my grad program at USU. I am taking a class to learn how to be a wellness coach (which is very interesting and exciting..I am sure Gage would love my class). I currently have my own office/broom closet at USU since I am a real legit "professor"/teacher.
The downside of grad school is that you have to do a lot of research for papers and that takes a lot of time.

peace
Sincerely, Rees

USU grad school

2010-09-02T17:41:00.001-07:00

Grad school is tough at USU. I have a ton of reading assignments and projects that incorporate those reading assignments. I do like my wellness coach class. My 2 first aid classes I am teaching are going ok..

Family reunion in Nauvoo Illinois July 22nd

2010-07-20T21:53:00.000-07:00

Road trip starting Thursday to Nauvoo. Brant and I and mom and dad will be heading out together in one car. Craig is flying in an airplane to Nauvoo. He will be meeting up with us there. Most of the Riddoch's will not be in attendance of this family reunion. I myself do not really want to go but mums said I was going no matter what I said. I bought a power inverter so I could plug my laptop into the cigarette lighter on the trip. With the power inverter I can now watch movies and play games in the car while we are traveling. I am not a fan of driving across the United States or driving for long periods of time. The trip to Nauvoo is 20 hours and we will be doing 10 hours worth per day over 2 days just to get there. The trip could prove to be worth it.. I will update more later.

sincerely, Rees

I got a townhouse in Logan Utah. I will be moving to Logan around August 20th. I am signed up for another first Aid class to get re-certified so I can teach first Aid this fall at USU.

the 5th grade "talk/video"

2010-04-29T14:39:00.000-07:00

Well today the principal at my school asked me if I wanted to make a few extra bucks and stay an extra hour. I said sure...It turned out that the guy who was supposed to be talking to the 5th graders about "the talk" and showing "the video" had called in sick. So I had to give the lecture to the 5th graders about puberty and all that other good stuff. I didn't have time to preview the movie so I just gave a short lecture and we watched the video. Afterwards none of the 5th graders were brave enough to ask any questions so that was the end. I survived the lecture but it was not something I wanted to do or something I had planned for. I just wanted to share that story with you...

updated my playlist

2010-04-28T19:52:00.000-07:00

The man on the phone said, "Rees you were accepted into Utah State's health Education program." Also he said that he had a assistanceship that I could do. He said that I could teach a first aid college class for 2 semesters for 8 g's. How crazy is that!!!!!!!!!

my life

2010-03-18T20:55:00.000-07:00

I am still teaching P.E. My principal asked me to stay on board for next year. He hasn't talked to me about a contract and mula just yet. The Principal did tell me he would put me on salary next year if I stayed and he would give me a one year grace period to get my P.E. certificate (which I am about 7-8 classes away from!). I am currently looking at doing a online masters degree now so I can work next year. I still need to research which masters program I want to do. I want to make sure I pick the right masters program for me. I am only working about 27 hours a week. I am trying to find a second job but the job market right now is terrible. well that is my current life in a nutshell.

My life

2010-02-16T18:47:00.001-08:00

Well I have been teaching P.E. for a about a month now and it is ok. My hardest classes are k-2nd grade. Every class third grade and up are really easy. Who would've thought that the k-2nd graders would be the most disrespectful. I have been browsing occasionally for a second job. I am only working around 27 hours a week. Furthermore, I have been practicing my guitar lately in my free time. I just learned just like heaven by the Cure on guitar and I can play the solo. I still have not heard back from either of the masters programs I applied to. I have also been teaching 5th graders math and english and it has been a good experience for me. I didn't do very well on the GRE and I may have to re-take it. well that pretty much sums of my life right now.

PE Master

2010-01-15T15:15:00.001-08:00

My kindergartners asked me if they could call me the P.E. master. I said yes you may. So now if a kindergartner needs a drink they say, "PE master may I get a drink?" It is so funny my little kids I teach are hilarious. lol hahahha

P.E. teacher Mr. Riddoch

2010-01-12T13:26:00.001-08:00

I got a job as a part time P.E. teacher and a student aid!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be teaching kindergarten through 8th grade.

STUDYING for the GRE

2010-01-05T14:23:00.001-08:00

Studying for the GRE all day every day until I take the test. I only have to memorize 30 pages of vocabulary, then learn and memorize the math formulas, and hopefully I am already a good writer. I think I am atleast going to do good at the vocabulary section. Graduated school here I come!

MORE SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-12-13T17:33:00.000-08:00

I currently thinking about applying to the masters in corporate wellness program at Utah state. I am also going to apply to Boise State's health science with health promotion emphasis masters program.

My new weight bench.

2009-12-03T15:51:00.000-08:00

I got my christmas present a little eary this year. I got a Gold's Gym olympic weight bench. This lady sold me this bench for 75 dollars the bench retails at 250 dollars. Heather found the ad for me in the newspaper. I told her to keep an eye out for a bench for me. This bench was never used and it doesn't have any scratches. The model is about a year old though. All I can say is What A STEAL OF A DEAL!! I currently do not have any weights yet but all in good time. This is a picture from my cell phone. Sorry it isn't a better quality picture.

One awesome motorcycle helmet

2009-12-03T15:49:00.000-08:00

A picture of me wearing my awesome motorcycle helmet. I sold my scooter and I got laser surgery. But I had to show off my awesome helmet.

Laser Eye Surgery

2009-11-14T08:14:00.000-08:00

Some of you may or may not know that I had laser eye surgery Nov 13th, 2009. I am already seeing atleast 20/20. My vision is still a little fuzzy or cloudy but I can see pretty good without glasses. I already feel so free without glasses and I can tell my life will never be the same ever again. I didn't feel a single thing during my 4 minute laser surgery. I felt a stinging sensation in my eyes for about 1.5 hours afterwards. I have to continually put eye drops in my eyes every half hour but that is only to keep my eyes moist. My mother helped pay for a large portion of the surgery. I will be paying her back for most of her help. I do work... I substitute teach 1-2 times a week. I get paid 70 dollars a day to substitute teach because I am now a certified teacher for the state of Idaho. I am currently planning on taking the GRE so I can apply to a masters program at utah state, or U of U or somewhere in Utah. I am considering a masters in health ed and promotion. Well that is the latest update in my life. THE END

I am going to sign up to be on the substitute teacher lists for the days that I will not be in class. My latest career flavor of the week idea is physician's assistant. All I know is that I am thinking of doing something in the health care field. peace

This upcoming week is finals week at BYUI. I have 2 finals and one group project. After this week I hope to get a job ASAP. I am currently considering Melaleuca, being a flagger (hold a construction sign), phlebotomist, temp work, joining substitute teacher lists near Idaho Falls, etc. If anyone has any brilliant ideas or suggestions for making money let me know.
Peace out

I just applied to a temp agency in Idaho Falls. I am desperate for a job.I hope I can get some work. My foot is still not as great as I would like. I am hoping to get desk job(s). peace

well lately I have been thinking about applying to Boise state university to their masters in Arts counseling program. They dont require the GRE or any test. Their admission requirements are based on interview, resume, and experience. Since I just finished student teaching I have a great resume with references, and experience with teaching. If all else fails I will just go to music school and become a rockstar.

I am in need of a job. I also need to find out what career I want to pursue. That pretty much sums of my life. peace out

9 days

2009-05-09T22:47:00.001-07:00

9 days until I get my pin pulled out of my toe. May 18th is the day where I will throw my crutches down and throw my boot across the room and then I will walk. I have walked with a special boot for 1 month now. I have been using crutches to hop to classes at BYUI everyday. I have been able to walk around the house without any crutches just walking on the heel of my boot. This surgery has not bee painful other than the first couple days after the surgery. However it has been a frustrating experience to tie garbage bags around my foot everytime I shower, and to have to sit in a chair everytime I shower. I have been in constant fear of putting too much weight on my toes and accidentally snapping the pin in my toe. My doctor told me if I ever put too much weight on my toes the pin in my toe could break. It is tiring walking on your heel all day long. I am hoping and praying that this surgery was successful and that it will heal correctly. I am sick of having surgeries and being laid up and having to stay at home. I recently just read book two of of the Eragon series. The second book was called Eldest, and I read the third book called Brisinger. Apparently there is a 4th book in the series which Christopher paolini hasnt written yet. I was left hanging at the end of the third book with the biggest cliffhanger ending of any book. I was hoping for the third book to end the series but instead the book dragged on and didn't end. I did however like the books even though the author didn't finish the story. I wouldn't suggest reading the books yet since the 4th book isn't finished yet. I am still career searching and soul searching for what I am supposed to do with my life and I currently have no idea. Thanks for reading about another chapter in Rees Riddoch's life. We will see you next week and have a good night. peace out

This pic I found on Mum's camera and I thought it was good so I added it. It is of some neices and nephews last Halloween. Bella was wearing the wrong costume for her fierce look. I also like how one of the twins is waving to the camera man.

2009-05-09T22:38:00.000-07:00

For some odd reason Brant didn't want to be seen in any of the pictures with me. I thought this was a good pic nonetheless. This pic was also taken at the Colorado Rockies game.

2009-05-09T22:31:00.003-07:00

My family and I attended a Colorado Rockies game last summer or the summer before. It is all a haze the exact date. I have had too many prescription drugs for one life time. lol j/k.

Right now I am hoping to get back into BYUI as a non traditional student even though I just graduated from there. If I get back in I will be starting school April 20th 2009. I will be attending while on crutches and with a special boot. I am currently trying to finish the physical therapy prerequisites. I am also job searching for any type of job that a Health Ed major could apply for (mostly jobs that dont deal with teaching). I will probably be commuting to BYUI this semester from I.F.
peace out

2009-04-08T18:41:00.000-07:00

I am having foot surgery tomorrow and I officially graduate tomorrow from BYUI. Obviously I am not walking for graduation. wish me luck...
peace out

My myspace music page has over 1023 views. My facebook music fan page group has 32 members. Quickstar productions is still emailing me telling me that they want me on their next compilation cd. I have had over 51 downloads of my songs on my podcast in the last 30 days. I am getting my music out to the people.

2009-03-26T21:09:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow Friday March 27, 2009 is my last day of teaching! I still have one more week of observing a classroom wherever I want. I am almost graduated from college with a BS degree in Health Education.
sincerely, Rees Riddoch

Give me liberty or chop off my foot

2009-03-03T19:42:00.001-08:00

I will be having my third and hopefully last foot surgery after student teaching this April. If any family members want to visit during the month of April I will be home. My surgery will cost around 3000 dollars. Also I am told that I will have a pin down the length of my ring finger toe for 5 weeks. One doctor told me I should be able to put partial weight on my foot after a week or two. That is my lastest news. Peace out

Here is a picture of the next bike I want. It is an automatic motorcycle it is a 250cc bike. It can pop wheelies. It goes online for 2700 dollars. It is called the CF V3 motorcycle.

Due to request here is a picture of my scooter.

You can now listen to my music on the bottom of my blog. You just need to pause the music playing and start my music in the podomatic music player.

I got evaluated by my supervisor for midterms for being a student teacher. I got evaluated on a scoring system of 1-4. Number one means you are horrible and number 4 meaning an outstanding teacher. I got all (4's) and two (3)'s so basically I rocked my supervisor's world. I got about as good of a evaluation as you can get.
That is my latest news...

music recording deal

2009-02-18T22:10:00.000-08:00

I just got an email sent to my myspace account. There is a company called quickstar productions who wants me on their next emo (genre of music) compilation cd. The company told me that they liked my song, "Love never Dies." They told me that I would get 50% of profits on people who buy my song on itunes. They want me to pay 165 bucks for 50 cd's that I would get that I could sell at whatever price I wanted. They told me if I sold the cd's for 8 bucks i could make 400 bucks. I am excited about this deal and I am going to research this company out and make sure they are legit. I did listen to some previous compilation cd's on iTunes. The compilation cd they want me on is called 11 hour confessions. I think this would be a cool opportunity to get my music out. This cd would be advertised by different artists and it would be passed out and sold at concerts. It would even be put on various radio stations throughout the world. This deal may be a sham but I am going to look into you. Peace out
