Internet

I live in an area thats rural in nature but by no means out in the country. I have been trying to get internet at my house for 2 months now. My neighbor has internet but for some reason they company cannot find me??? I have a phone line with this company but for some unexplained reason they can not connect me with the internet. I have been told it will be another 2 weeks before they can help me. I am so confussed. I have told my students to stay connected, work on their wiki and blogs from home but I am unable to be connected. It always sees to be something.

Big Difference

I was thinking back to where my class was this time last year and remembered how awful it was. The obstacles we went through were trying to say the least. Then I look at how the students are so far this year and we are way ahead and enjoying ourselves. It is nice when the students have made the choice to be in the class instead of being assigned to it. The energy they are bringing to class is a nice change. I look forward to things to come.

Underway

Well another year if underway and we all feel the excitement. My Globaloria students are excited to be learning about blogs and wikis. Yesterday we watched the Presidents speech and they all attempted to make a blog about it. I saw that we will be working on what should really be in a blog, more than just we watched the President. But I see that we will make strides in this class as we go along.
