B2MeM is imminent...

oloriel... and I've admired the super-organised (neatly handwritten or printed! in a nice folder/kit! like these lovely kits you see on studyblr!) displays of other people's Bingo preparations. They're making me feel sadly lazy and inadequate. (Let's not even mention that I'm no longer entirely certain that I remember what cards I've claimed! I hope I'm not forgetting anything major that I typed into that Google document and then deleted from memory.) I've just got a lazy digital folder on my computer in which I've saved the cards (a week after claiming them, which is why I don't remember for certain whether they're all the ones I claimed >_>) and the stamps, and also a document. The document contains a table in which I've listed all prompts by Bingo number and card, and tentatively wrote down an idea if I already had one. It's not even in Excel! It's a plain dumb Word (well LibreOffice Writer, same difference) document. That is because I am (despite only using digital media for this) not actually tech savvy. I'm just lazy.
Still, in case anyone else is intimidated by the neat and efficient kits, here is Lyra's Lazy B2MeM Track-keeping Method (which is more or less an adapted version of Lyra's Lazy Thesis Writing Method). Maybe it'll help someone who is new to this and knows they won't manage to prepare (let alone maintain) a neat analogue folder...
So here's my Bingo kit, if it deserves that name. Sexy.
The tentative overview. If I combine prompts, I'll note that in the field that I also use to sketch the idea. If I complete a prompt, I'll either bold it or just type "Done!" into the field, like I did back in 2012. As you can see, there is not much there. I'll have to try and come up with ideas as the numbers are called, mostly. Fortunately, many of the cards I've chosen are fairly easy to incorporate into anything.
For the sake of comparison, this is what it looked like in 2012... where I eventually forgot marking completed prompts. The funny thing is that I still know what cards these prompts were on. Memories are weird. I can't even juggle my lesson plans between one day and another and have to look everything up three times, but THIS stuff is firmly lodged in my brain! >_>
It will be interesting to see whether I'll manage to actually participate much at all. The school year is hotting up and we all got additional duties on top of our regular teaching, due to stupid ~quality management~ stuff. I've got to help knit a new inclusion/diversity concept (basically, What are we already doing at our school to help students with special needs? What else do we need to do? What can we do better? And Who is to blame? Which is exactly the job you'd assign to a rookie with half a year of experience at this particular school AND with teaching in general, haha. I'm part of a team so I don't have to do it all by myself, but it's still... challenging. Plus working on a different group for the educational concept, which I'm also totally predestined to help develop... not). Just regular teaching is challenging enough! And the next holidays are still over a month away! ;_;
But that's a different ramble for a different post (that probably won't happen)...
