Lisa's Butt Makes It Big!!

I can't believe this.

Of all the things to have frozen on the screen, why did they have to pick my butt?!

Last Spring, the Pennsylvania Department of Education asked if they could film me teaching. I said yes, and my students and I all signed talent-release forms.

Segments of my lesson are being featured in a new online course for teachers.

But, before you watch each video of my lesson, a narrator speaks about the strategy to look for in that segment. And, while the voice is speaking, the video clip remains FROZEN on your screen.

You have no choice but (no pun intended) to sit and STARE.

This, dear readers, is the view of my posterior that educators throughout Pennsylvania will have to stare at for the 11 seconds it takes for the voice to explain what's coming up next. Can you believe it?! Of all things!!

"Now, teachers, let's pause to look at the rump of one of colleagues."

I suppose this is what can happen when the whole videography crew consists of guys! I knew those videographers would be sneaky!

From now on, I'll be looking over my shoulder because you never know when someone's going to try to photograph your butt!
