Once again, we're almost there . . .

We're off and running once again. I will be updating this site soon and I am still waiting on some schools to report back to me. Please check back soon.

We're starting up once again . . .

Welcome all.

This semester we will be offering ECC mathematics courses at Essex County Vocational Technical Schools (ECVT) and East Side High School. We're expecting 52 students at the Technical Careers Center (ECVT), 13 students Bloomfield Technology (ECVT), and 24 students at East Side. Unfortunately there will be no students at either West Caldwell Center (ECVT) or North 13th Street Center (ECVT).

This semester Carlos de la Torre and myself (Ron Bannon) plan to be more physically present to help facilitate in the planning and implementation of our ECC mathematics courses.

Please leave a comment and best wishes for a successful school year.

I think I see someone in the distance . . .

What would you rather do? Get everyone physically together at one location so that we can have a lengthy face-to-face meeting, where we will discuss things that you may, or may not be familiar with . . . OR . . . use this BLOG as a 24-7 meeting room that is accessible from anyplace in the world? Personally, I'd rather use the BLOG. Just think if there was a physical meeting today (it's raining) we'd all have to be there at the same time and place.

Let the blogging BLOG begin. Ladies and Gentlemen, please man your keyboards and start participating.

For those individuals wishing to contact me in private, just email me. Or is you prefer, you can call me at 973-877-1886.

Community . . .

Yes, we're all in the same community and we need to share our mutual concerns if our little village is to function. I've been to enough places -- real and imagined -- to know that community is the sacred glue that keeps us human. So, please come out of your 'homes' and introduce yourself to your neighbor. As a community we have common ownership, common interests, and certainly concern for longevity. Viva La BLOG!

The living blog . . .

Okay, so we're all too busy with day-to-day details, possibly too tired at the end of our days to even think about looking at or posting to our blog. Well, I'm like a deserted soldier where I will faithfully hold my ground until one of you comes on board. Please give me a sign that you're there!

Welcome . . .

This is a place to meet and share. Please post a short comment about who you are and where you're from. For example:

My name is Ron Bannon, and I am an assistant professor of mathematics at Essex County College, in Newark, New Jersey. I can be reached by email at bannon@essex.edu.
