I'm getting old...

I don't want to tell anybody how long it took me to get back in my blog. I think that I have too many user names and passwords to remember. With that being said, I try to use the same info, but I must not be trying hard enough. I assume that I can talk about anything in my blog that pertains to technology and face to face learning. Last week I had to miss class because I went out of town and it was a different experience. I went to Jena, Louisiana. This town only had two main roads paved and two traffic lights. They are involved with alot of press relating to the Jena 6 situation. Without me going so deep, the one thing I remember about that area is Hurricane Katrina. So many schools were destroyed and student’s records were lost. Alot of students relocated, hence attending different schools. I often wonder the benefit of online facilitation there. I am sure that most of the buildings have not been re-built and they are still in temporary facilities. But in this situation, an on-line program will be beneficial. They would have a place, somewhere out there that will always be the "classroom". Hardware can be destroyed, but they will be able to come back to were they left off. That's just me thinking. I don't know what I would do if WSU was destroyed or damaged and they lost my transcripts. They would just have to take my word, I was about to graduate!!! But there is a great need for online learning. More so, a learning environment that is truly a class, not a power point presentation. The younger generation is crying for effective online learning classrooms. My master's project is for me to design an on-line curriculum for our school. Lord knows we need it.

Till next time....
