Higher Learning

            I was pondering over this idea of educational technology today and I started to think about distance learning.  In one of my interviews I was asked if I would like to become a distance learning teacher, or whatever they call it.  At the time I was thinking, how can I say NO nicely?  Now, [...]

Greetings Group Three!!  Well, the focus of tonight’s class was Publisher… and Gloria gave us the 411 on how to create eyecatching documents on the computer!  Before tonight, I had heard about a few of these programs… but I had never considered using them as a  template for my teaching.  The one thing that I [...]

I started browsing through others blogs to get my mind going again, and found
that
people are looking at our blog as well.  Lindsy’s blog on Oprah was circulating
on other

Excuse me as I pick my jaw off the floor.  I recently read Linsey’s blog, checked out the Oprah website and read that mind boggling article.  There are few things that tend to shock me these days, at times I believe I have seen it all (probably because I have taught up north in La [...]

First response to Lindsey and the Oprah show. I caught part of the commercial. That seems so unreal. What is going on with the dad? It is so sad when peolpe go for see nothing but money and have no values. I also just read an article that blames a blog site for the disapperance. [...]

Wow, Lindsay… I must have missed that episode! Honestly, I have a hard time believing that the parents were unaware of what was going on- that Mom must have been out to luch, and the Dad must be nuts. If I was a parent, there would be absolutely no no way that my child would [...]

            In response to Kyle’s blog, I did really nothing over the break.  I have been to the mountains before and I sure would have liked to be doing that instead of staying around Regina.  I am hoping that I will be able to go out to B.C. in the near future.  I found out [...]
