but what else is new? Dave’s brother, Don, who was 59, passed away yesterday from a massive heartattack. We thought that all of the service and viewing and things would be later in the week, but everything starts Tuesday in Tennessee. We fly out Tuesday morning and return early afternoon Thursday. I am very thankful [...]

Kathy, Amy A and I stayed late last Tuesday rallying the troops (really – just me) and getting our heads on straight (again – my melon). I feel pretty confident with my write up of the lesson to turn in and the direction in which I am heading. I just need to write the student [...]

has grown four heads. I am a bit overwhelmed and confused at what my team and I are doing with the survey and analysis of the data. I understand that we are using it as a jumping off place for another course in the future, but I am unclear as to what the immediate application [...]

So we are off and onto a new course after all of the work we put in during the Spring semester. Sketchy syllabus that is very free in it’s structure. This is causing me to freak out a little and take a very laid back approach to this course. Not a good place for me [...]

Amy O did an impressive job with ARCS and even went as far as contacting the author of the model for research! You can definitely tell that there is a deep love of [...]

I had the pleasure and privilege of attending this year’s ETTC “From My Classroom to Yours”at Stockton College on Wednesday, March 18. I always think that it is a complete and total crap shoot (catch the reference?) as to how good/great/horrid the presentations will be. Usually the conference is held in May, but was bumped [...]

Class tonight was very enlightening. Jill and Ann did an amazing job with their presentations.
I was glad that Jill was able to apply what she is learning in class to something practical for the classroom with her advance organizer. I could not believe that I drew a complete blank and took forever to come up [...]

The paper she wrote is titled, “Engaging Graduate Learners in Honeymoon Experiences: Collaboration Tools and Techniques for Blended [...]

but not if you are studying Terri’s Synectics Lesson about hydrocephalus requiring a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt! What an amazing connection from v-p shunts to constipation. Terri’s lesson was well planned and thought out. She even did a fantastic job putting up with our sophomoric antics. Teachers are at times the worst students! I enjoyed stepping out of [...]
