The Ningdom... I love it! So clever!

I would love for your students to view my reading of this very important work. I do a video podcast and love would to have video comments or emails from your class or even questions for Santa. I will work them into my podcast and emails copies to you. I would love to interact with your students. If you go to my wedsite www.santalivenow.com you will see how commented I am to spreading the Spirit Of Christmas.

What?! I did NOT hear about the online classes! The spring listing says that there is going to be a Thursday night class at the MCIU. How many credits do you have left? I only have 6 completed so far. I'm so excited to discover this site! There's just so much stuff!!

That really makes me mad. That's a big reason why I didn't go for an online degree because I like interacting with other people in the class. :(

Janice, I was reading some of the comments about completing your courses online and how you think you might do and how you would miss the interaction. If the classes are synchronous, you will be surprised to find there often is alot more interaction online because it is a different learning dynamic. I completed an online masters degree in Library and Information Science at UIUC and in many ways it was much more challenging -and fun- than physical class meetings. It was also interesting to learn the protocols involved and provided a first-hand perspective on new possibilities for teaching and learning. I believe "blended learning" is the hot topic. Brooke and you would both be surprised by how much interaction there is in an online course. Some online courses/programs require an on campus meeting once during the course/semester -so you still have that face-to-face component. This true at least of the program I was in: http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/programs/leep/>
When an online course is well taught that also helps. You should defnitely try it if at all possible, you'll do great.

Janice, yw...us library folk are always on the same page! Ugh!

it was a riot when the Prof advised everyone in our first online class not to type if you needed to use the bathroom or go get drink becuase nobody can see what you are doing on the other side of your computer. It's too bad that the course you need is asynchronous!

Best reagrds, Arnie

I'm VERY glad to hear that. Let me know if there is ANYTHING else I can do to promote the cause.

Hi Janice I have changed my twitter password, so I hope that I am no longer sending out spam or phish messages. Do you know when you actually got them as I hope that it is all fixed now. thanks for lett me know.

Hi Janice. I was wondering if you and your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks, Janice!

No. I didn't ask that question about converting files. That post was somewhere around a year old. We're doing content analysis on the posts in Classroom 2.0. I just chose that post as an example of the results from the content analysis method, since Latent Dirichlet Allocation can be difficult to grasp the first time you see it.
