Hey y'all

So here we are in the anonymous space of the cyber world, what now??

EDUC 6804

Wow that's a reeeeeeeeally upper division Ed Class. Why on earth am I coming in?

I think we're living through a revolution which could rival Gutenberg's. You have all probably had on-line discussions in your (recent) college classes. High school students today deserve to go into their post secondary lives with as much technological experience as possible--ask me about my first year of college blue book experience.

Last year I started teaching a Blogs Class. Somewhere in early August, I awoke at 4 am after one of those August school dreams...lovely. After staring at the ceiling for about a half an hour, mind racing, I went downstairs and started surfing.

I found Blogger useful for various things:
A paperless class Twain Class

John and I used it in our classes.

I used it in several classes in different ways.
Dante Class
Dante Pforum
