Week 5

Not too sure where time has gone but this semester has flown... got my grade and not to happy that my lack of responding to every ones everything hurt my grade that much... guess it is what it is... but not happy about it.  Still very interested in the class but thinking that we have a tremendous amount of work due for next week... a little apprehensive about it as I have never designed a web page and we only had about a 10-12 minute introduction as to how to use the new software... should prove to be an interesting week.

My partner and I spent several hours working on this project between Saturdays nd Sunday... a tremendous amount of time and we are no where near done... getting a little bit nervous about getting it all done, guess I know what I'll be doing tonight... lol

Week 4

It has been an interesting ride this semester. I can't believe that it is week 4 already, and presentations were a week ago... had a good time with the presentation thought about a few ways we could have improved on ours, that is what this is about right... improving our skills??? Anyway, I have fallen behind on my comments, I am finding that more cumbersome than any other aspect of this course is posting to everyone’s everything and having to try to remember when the heck you left off. If I could change one thing about this course it would be that... maybe instead of having to read everyone’s... like respond to a specific number... just an idea.

It was clear last week that not all are comfortable in front of an audience, I hope that those individuals overcome that soon... as educators that is what we do is to put on a dog and pony show every day and you can't let people intimidate you... hopefully it was just because it was in front of peers and not kids... many people are more nervous in front of people their own age or older rather than kids... I hope this is the case or student teaching is going to be difficult for them... keeping my fingers crossed =)
