I'm Ready.....

This class has been such a great experience in so many ways.  First of all I love the fact that I was in NY last week and was able to participate in class, secondly I really appreciate that everyone strives to create better material every week.  There is something to be said for raising the bar with your peers.  It is the desire to create better material because not only were you challenged to but you were inspired.
It's going to be a long road but it's better with you guys!

I remember being so afraid of staying home and using Wimba in my last class because I really felt that I would miss something because so many people actually went to class.  This class has been a great example of what a virtual classroom should be.  I think the best part is that we don't know each other (well most of us don 't) yet we are open and honest and share about our lives and experiences with each other knowing that it will impact how we view the topics.  I really appreciate the different views.  Great job tonight.

Home from vacation and what a vacation it was.  My entire family including aunts and uncles and cousins from my fathers side of the family all converged in Ocean City, Maryland for the week.  It was an exhausting week.  I really feel like I need a vacation from my vacation, but there is no rest for the weary I will be traveling up to Saugerties, NY for a horse show for the remainder of the week.  There were a couple of noteworthy experiences this week

1) My son would make a good gangster (or at least looks the part.)
2) My family should not spend more then five days together. 
I think there are pros and cons to both of those statements.  I will be listening to the archives, hope you missed me :)  

Adult Learning Class Number 1 !

Oka's Picture

I am an adult and I am a learner.  I think that this is really funny because in the horse show land, we call them A-Dolts because they tend to not learn as quickly as kids. I really think that kids are better learners in many cases because they do not have the fear or reservations of failing.  I never really thought of myself as an adult learner I really like to think of myself just as a learner.  I guess if the shoe fits......see if it is on sale so you can buy more!  Anyway, I like the basis of this class as a pychology undergrad I really like to learn theory.  I don't like to write papers (I heart APA), but I do like that this class has a different approach then just learn it write about it, move on.  We will see where the evenings take us.
