Final Posting

It's hard to believe that it was seven years ago today that I first posted on The Winchell Factor.  While other tech initiatives have come and gone, most of my students have preferred to continue using The Winchell Factor over any of these.  Sometimes, simpler is better.

With that said, nothing lives forever.  With technology, there will always come along something that offers a better user experience and I think Google Classroom has the potential to be such a thing.  It will allow me to share assignments, solutions, and classroom news faster and more efficiently.

Due to the switch to Google Classroom, this will be the final *sob* posting on The Winchell Factor.  It's been quite a ride.  Here are my stats:

  • 919 total posts (I guess this will be #920)
  • 32,702 page views in seven years
  • Though most views came from my students, I had views from Russia (485), Germany (476), France (328), Latvia (212), Ukraine (166), Poland (118), UK (66), Canada (64), and India (51).  So, Spasibo, danke, merci, paldies, dziękuję, thank you, and धन्यवाद्
 Most of my students have enjoyed this site and I hope that their Classroom experience will be even more helpful to their education.

...The Winchell Factor signing off.  Good-bye
