Working on the Final Project

This has been a week for "challenges." First I had a huge writer's block! I knew what I wanted to do for my project, but getting it on paper was not as simple as it should have been. Then, I switched Internet providers, and the transition was not nearly as easy as it should have been. So, my access to working on the final project was not as simple as I'd liked. I finally got my Internet issues figured out on Tuesday, only to discover that the video card on my computer was failing! I quickly saved my work so far to a thumb drive, but I had to wait until I could get computer access to do anything. So, it's been an intense last couple of days trying to get caught up!

Actually, my challenges this week have made me think about my potential students. Teachers who will be taking this class could be total technology newbies, and challenges such as I endured this last week would not make them excited about incorporating technology into the classroom! Hopefully, I've designed this course and the assessments in it to be as user-friendly as possible!

Kathy, so sorry to hear that you were faced with technology challenges, but love your positive attitude and how you've recognized the benefits that can be applied to your future teaching situations:).

Kathy, I've reviewed your survey and found all of your questions to be valuable and well designed. One suggestion: Can you provide an introduction that is warm and 'humanistic' and will invite students to participate, as well as let them know that you care?

Thanks. ~ Datta Kaur

Thanks for the idea, Dr. Kaur. I didn't know you could that with this software. I've added it in.

Kathy, I would have liked to see a link to your final project here - hope you will include it soon.
