I have really enjoyed the readings and assignments this week. My Bachelor's degree is in psychology, and my Master's degree is in education with a counseling emphasis, so the readings on learning theories were a pleasant review. I have also taught several courses relating to various components of learning theory, so reading some of those specifics again helped me feel more comfortable with this course's subject matter. Now if I could just be more confident with the technological components!
My parents are both educators, so I often discuss topics and readings from my courses with them. I read them the section of the Richardson text about "digital immigrants." We joked that they carry the three "accents" mentioned.
I sent invitations to my blog, and I am pleased to see that so many classmates have accepted. I have a few comments - very positive about my blog, and also giving me some needed encouragement. Thank you!
I have enjoyed some IM communication with classmates and Dr. Green. I use IM quite a bit in communicating with other faculty at my institution. I also train new faculty, so I always give them my IM ID during training so that they can contact me with any questions that arise. It has been fun communicating with some of my friends in this class, and I look forward to that continuing throughout the term.
I'm looking forward to week 3 and our readings, research, and discussions on CBT & WBT.
Until next time...

Hi, I enjoyed your page and it is interesting that you go to an online university and you work for an online university and there are still some things you are learning. Well that is technology.
I'm jealous that you've caught Dr. Green on IM when you were online! I have also enjoyed getting to know classmates through IM.
