Winter 2008 - Week One
After a restful and relaxing family Christmas holiday in California it feels great to be starting the winter 2008 semester. I have 2 sections of the EDUC3325: Role of Technology in Education course at Mount Royal College and a campus based section of the EDER679.20 Blended Learning course at the University of Calgary.
The EDUC3325 course sections began this week and I was very impressed with the students' interest and motivation about sharing their previous "teaching with technology" experiences during their volunteer school placements last semester. Sigh, I'm still finding that the online discussion board in the Blackboard learning management system is very difficult to use so I've moved our discussions in Facebook. This allows both sections to participate in the same discussions as well as alumni from this course who are now at other higher education institutions or teaching in the K to 12 system.
