Back At It

I love this idea....a Treadmill Desk...Genius!

So, a couple of months ago I inherited a treadmill from my parents. Actually, I am just storing it for them until they finish up their basement renovation. When they first asked me if I would like to use it for a couple of months I wanted to say NO Thanx. I knew darn well that everytime I went to sit on the couch and watch TV I would have to walk right by the thing.(Who wants to feel guilty for doing nothing when you have a 2 year old who is finally sleeping..lol) However, the treadmill arrived at my house in October and it has been a love hate relationship ever since. I love it when I am done my workout and I hate it when I am trying to convince myself to get on it!

Over the last couple of months I have been inspired by my fellow Credenda colleagues who religiously work a little "efit" time into their schedules. My New Years Resolution is to do the same and I will start tomorrow...lol. No No I will start today!

Before I go I should say "Welcome to Week 4" Keep working hard everybody and don't forget your Children's Literature Assignment is due this week.

Week 3

It is Week 3 and I am numb. So much going on in the world... so much pain... so much suffering. On Tuesday, January 12 2o1o Haiti was hit with an earthquake that registered a 7.0 on a scale which only goes up to 8. The earthquake lasted but a minute and the result was nothing short of catastrophic. Babies, Children, Parents, Friends, Loved Ones....Gone.

I watch the images on the news and I cry...silently and out loud. My baby boy runs to me and he puts his head on my lap and softly whispers... mama. (I cry even harder) I say a prayer for all those who are lost, suffering, helpless, scared and alone. Lord help them all... Please.

I know I always say that Credenda is the most wonderful place to work but I have never been more proud to belong to an Organization . Credenda has generously agreed to double or match all donations that are collected by staff members and eStudents. Please take a few minutes to check out the Credenda Haiti Initiative located on the homepage.

Next week (during class) we will be having some discussions on how the ELCC program can help.

Week 2

Happy New Year & Welcome Back! We are already in Week 2 of Curriculum Planning 2 and I could not think of a better class to start off 2010 with! Curriculum Planning 2 is a great class that allows you to tap into your creativity and have a lot of fun with planning exciting activities for children.

Actually, with all the excitement of the New Year, New Course, New Learning Management System I forgot to blog last week....My Apologies! I have to confess that I was so focused on exploring the new Desire 2 Learn or D2L that it really consumed my time. My husband said that I was mumbling something about drop boxes in my sleep! I told him that I now dream in D2L... he had no idea what I was talking about but I thought it was funny..lol.

We have been hearing a lot of good things about D2L. I want to know what the ELCC students think about it! Over the next couple of weeks I would encourage you all to fill me in on your experiences. What do you like about it? Is there anything you need a hand with?

I am really looking forward to our time together over the next couple of weeks! Chat with you all in class.
