April 25th Class

I successfully logged on and participated in my first Wimba session this evening. For someone who feels very intimidated by new technology, I feel quite accomplished. I used my husband's laptop, because our home desktop was being finicky with Java. All in all, I feel I benefited from accomplishing this task. I knew I had to complete the Wimba/BB worksheet, but could not locate the handout on Blackboard. Amy was able to direct me to the handout, and my mini-crisis was averted...I like the format of Wimba, but it took some getting-used-to. I think I'm a very visual learner, so being so aware of listening was different for me. I actually look forward to becoming more proficient with Wimba by completing the worksheet assignment. I also mentioned that I'm attending the Capstone presentation at Stockton tomorrow. I think it will be helpful to see some examples of the end product. It also dawned on my that I'm a living example of the "it takes a village" philosophy in regards to reaching my grad school goals and raising a family. Thanks to my husband, and our "tag team" approach to parenting, I'm able to attend tomorrow night's event. Thanks HGxo! Talk to you soon...
