Reflection # 2

I feel like I'm floundering a bit.  The map program I used was easy after a few minutes of exploration. But I didn't care that much for the final project style.  I may play around a bit with the others to see which one really gives me the output that I want.  As for what I'll be looking for exactly when searching on the Internet, one is validity, as my DH says, ("Consider the source." Though he was usually talking about inmates.) I have become aware now of avenues to try to follow out when designing my face 2 face classes and searching for thing on the Internet beyond using the Youtube. though it is very helpful when showing a "Running with the bulls" in Spain. (And, yes, the bulls do win some!)  I direct an online class that is an off site program.  It is okay but it is slow and boring.  Somehow, though some instructors can still take a face2face and manage to present it as a face2face but via the internet. I want to make the connection with these digital generation of students. I went back to school to become a better teacher of adults.  What was taught there just needs to be classified as teaching to geriactics. It does become a challenge since I have a 1113 open door class and have a full gauntlet of student ages and experiences and still have some that don't have cell phones!  It's a regional college and the areas around are very rural and reception is lamentable!
