Summer Courses

This summer I am taking two graduate courses. This blog is a requirement of one of the courses, Web EDU, through Learners Edge. I must say that of all the courses I have taken, this one has given me the most trouble. I thought I was fairly computer literate but working on the applications for this course have been quite humbling. Thank you to everyone who has read and responded to my blog. I am only a few comments short of the requirements and am hopeful I will be finished up soon. It has been interesting to read through the text for this course and I can see ways that a blog could be used as a place to post homework, kids to post their work, and for a newsletter. I like that the postings archive and can be revisited. While I would like to think I would have time to use a blog in conjunction with the day to day expectations, I think it is a reach, but we will see!

The second class I am taking has to do with students who may struggle in the classroom. I am hoping for some helpful hints to take back to school with me in the fall. At the end of the summer I will be only 2 classes away from my +30 degree! I HOPE to have the required # of classes completed by mid April.

It is late. The dog is asleep on the rug by my feet. I will carefully step over her on the way upstairs for the night. Tomorrow is tennis and a stop to pick up the yard sale permit. I could get used to this "hectic" schedule.
