Tis the Season? Not just yet ELCD eLearners..lol. Week 5 is rolling around and we are just switching gears. Exam 1 is November 24-26 and if that isn't enough there is the Application Assignment threatening to burst our Holiday Bubble. Think your eInstructor is a Scrooge? Well, if you look at your Angel Calendar you will notice that I have tried my best to get things out of the way just prior to the official Christmas Kick Off. Exam 1will take place this upcoming week and the Application Assignment is due by December 4. That should give you a couple of weeks to deck the halls, jingle the bells and do whatever you need to do before Exam 2 which will take place the week of December 15-17, 2009.

Oh, by the way...take today off! Cheer for our Rough Riders...Go Green Go! Hey, did you know my son was named after a famous Saskatchewan Rough Rider? (NOT at all true, but my husband likes to tell everybody he is!) Happy Connecting.

Deck the Halls

Wow, we are heading into Week 4! Time is flying by in Family Studies. Christmas is around the corner and as always I am incredibly excited. I love Christmas and always have. I love the lights, the music, the decorating, the tree, the baking, wrapping, shopping...I love it all. We are very excited for this year. My son is turning two on December 22 and I can't wait to see Christmas through his eyes. We, ummm OK my husband put our new Christmas lights up last weekend. In all fairness, I gave him directions through the living room window...lol. This is the first Christmas in our new home and I was so excited to finally get to put up Christmas lights. I think they look great.

Am I really doing this?

Am I really starting a blog? Well, it appears so. This has not been an easy decision for me. I have gone back and forth on whether or not to start one for the last couple of months. I mean, how much more time can I possibly spend in front of the computer? Who would want to read what I had to say? (Seriously, I am not that interesting of a person..lol.)

Oh and I promised myself that I would not cave into the "everybody at work is starting one so I should too" pressure. Just to clarify I have not caved.

I have decided to start this blog for my students. Teaching in a virtual classroom, for me has major advantages. However, I often wondered about personal connection. As a student, connection was really really important. When I was connecting.... I was learning. So, this is for all my elearners. If this blog helps you connect with me as an instructor then a blogger I shall be.

So, lets start connecting. Not sure how many elearners knew this but I am a Mom. My son is almost two years old and his name is Luca. Very much a cliche but he makes me a better person.

Okay, so stay tuned. I will be posting little bits here and there about myself and what I am up to. Happy Connecting.
