Feelings on being an online student.

I kind of have mixed feelings about being an online student. I appreciate not having to drive to school but I kind of miss the face to face interaction with the professor and my classmates. I do like the flexibility of online classes. It's nice not having to rush to do your assignments at a particular time. It's also beneficial to be able to set aside my own time to do research or discussion questions. I don't have any good ideas for making a closer class community. The discussion questions help with that. A possibility would be to assign a different person that you have to respond to each week. This would actually force everyone to interact with each other at least one time during the term. As I said, this is only an idea. Another possibility would be to have everyone post a picture of themselves on their blog. (I have not done this myself yet but I plan to as soon as I get my digital camera back from my brother.) I'm a big believer in putting a face with a name.

Welcome!!!

Just want to welcome everyone to my blog. Nothing too exciting right now. Just trying to keep up on homework and do my externship hours at the same time. I'm definitely counting down the days.
