Final thoughts....

When I first registered for this class, I was a little hesitant because the days seemed to change around constantly and I didn't know who Dr.D was. I'm always hesitant when taking a professor that I don't know because then I don't know what I'm in for. However I was pleasantly surprised by both the class and by Dr. D. At first, I had to adjust to not coming to class once a week and making sure I disciplined myself with my work. Once I got into the swing of things, I was fine. It was nice not having to drive to MSU and fight for parking.. Best of all, I like how I could do my work while in my pj's :).

Dr. D was great too--she gave us enough time each week to work on our assignments which is important since we are all working full time. Also, anytime you had a question or concern she was ready to help. Most importantly, she didn't make you feel bad for asking something.

Being my final class before I graduate, I'm very happy that I took this class. I learned a lot about new literacies and its connection to the world. I truly enjoyed the comic book creator and I'm looking forward to trying it with my students. Also, I liked the exposure to facebook, Myspace and Blogger. These are things that I might not have tried if it weren't for this class.

Best of luck to all, and will see you Saturday! It's been a pleasure!

Virginia Tech Shooting

I'm sure everyone was devastated and shocked to hear about the Virginia Tech shooting.. I can't even imagine what those poor people went through.. How scary is the world we live in? Never would I imagine that we could be in danger at school. To me school is a place where you would be safe. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims friends and family. Especially to the La Porte family who lost their only son Matthew. I taught Matthew's sister Priscilla and she is a great girl and I'm sure she will never be the same after loosing her brother. Please keep them in your prayers.

Rainy Day

It was nice to have off today but I hope everyone is safe and didn't have any flooding! They are using my school as a shelter since so many people had to be evacuated.. It's possible that we might have tomorrow off too!
