Since these are relatively easy tasks they make it feel like I accomplished something even though I should probably be planning and building my courses in courseconnect. Here is a picture of my personal/professional website that I could also be working on. So far, I have done a relatively okay job using it as a repository for my publications and media interviews. Here is link if you want to click through it:  https://michaeljlorr.com/ Not sure how I might use this in teaching, but my students always like to look at my website when I show them I have one.

I don't have a blog or a regular website

Any text-based information I share with students I can do via the LMS, so I never found a real use for a blog.  Being an itinerant visitor, I didn't need a stable home page for my research (which depends on students and available equipment).  I do, however, use web-based materials for classes.  Since computational tools are now readily available, I use some assignments with simplified versions.  To this end, I write a lot of server-side code to access the computational tools so students need not install anything on a local machine. One such site I have been revisiting in preparation for the fall is a web-based queue system for running Monte Carlo calculations for statistical thermodynamics.  Students access the main page which shows all jobs associated with the queue. A student can submit a new job- either a simple Ising model (magnetic system) or a rare-gas system.  A web form lets them input the parameters: Data from completed jobs can be viewed Selecting...
