Week 9 Posting

Well this has been a pretty quiet week. Unfortunately, my time is being divided between three classes this semester. Two of those classes work on two-week schedules, and this is what I consider my "off-week" for this class. I have reviewed my assignment and I must admit I am not looking forward to this project. I have made videos or podcasts in the past and I do not really enjoy making them. I guess we will just see how it turns out, right? I hope you have a wonderful week. I am looking forward to more warm weather and a few days off.

Week 8 Posting

So---our group project-what an adventure. Only three of the five members showed up for our adventure on Skype. You know there's always one who can't get the stuff working, it's not normally me, but yes, this time it was. Marquerite kept joking about how fast I was typing to stay up with their talking. I must admit I was a little disappointed to not be able to "voice" communicate with them. We were able to use Skype to accomplish the task at hand-working towards finishing our project. We seem to have a "pretty good handle on it" so I will be glad to see it completed. Skype enabled us to carry on conversations and to virtually collaborate on our project which was the whole reason for the assignment in the first place, right? Okay, so hopefully, my life will get back to normal in the next few weeks and I can wrap up yet another semester here at ECU-thankfully, this will be my last one for quite a while. I have other important projects that await me---I can hardly wait. Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week. Take care.

Week 7 (a week late-sorry)

Well last week was not a very good week for me-my 18 year old daughter was in the hospital for 7 long days with pseudotumor cerebri-I will spare all the details, but if you are interested in reading more about this condition, this is an excellent website: http://www.ihrfoundation.org/ This condition is also known as intracranial hypertension. So last week I have learned about how important the internet including blogs, facebook pages, and even the hundreds and hundreds of websites that have helped me understand more about this horrible thing that has happened to my daughter. It's so easy just to pull up things on the internet and find all kinds of information. There's just something that everyone should remember when reading on the internet-MAKE SURE that the sources you read behind reputable sources. The internet is full of unreliable sources, just be educated enough to know the difference
