June 18 - Still Here

Today was the day I presented cost effectiveness of distance education with Lawrence. With a little extra preparation, things went smoothly. The smaller groups allowed participants the chance to discuss as a group more effectively. It was a very good experience. We learned about Breeze, a form of video conferencing. I had tried to find this program but had been hijacked to other parts of the web. It is nice to know what it does.

After lunch we covered wikis which later I realized there was a difference between wikis and blogs. Wikis is more of a shared memory or project. The end of the day did not end well. I saved my somewhat dubious podcast, only to find that it would be erased. I will need to redo my podcast and post it today. A another thing I learned about podcasting is that quality of beginning pictures are of top priority. My pictures were terrible, very discouraging. It has been a long night.

sorry to hear this was a long night for you. I am glad that you have jumped into the deep end of the pool and just started paddling. You have been a pleasure to have in class and I am glad that you decided to come and play in my sandbox!!!
