Stress

The holiday season has arrived! I am feeling the stress of it all with the semester in TEAM winding down, shopping, curriculum...lots to do! Filling out the last online input and seeing all that is due in the upcoming weeks was scary.
As I was shopping this weekend online, I finally used googlecheckout I have been hearing about. It was pretty exciting in that it saved me $10, I have to play around with it some more to see if it will be as useful for future purchases.
I am excited to start dabbling with some website-creating in class this week. I remember doing some programing in college and feeling very confused and overwhelmed with it. But like most things we learn, I think it will make much more sense this time around!

Online class

I'm not sure how I felt about the online class. I definately feel like it was less productive, but that could just be b/c it was the first time and there were technical issues. Unproductive seems to be the theme of this weekend though! 3 days and I feel like I had less time to get done all of that end of the quarter stuff. I think all of this technology is great and fun to incorporate into the classroom, but at this point it definately is time consuming making smartboard lessons, updating class websites and grades...On a positive note, I saw Bon Jovi Saturday!

Workshops

I took part in 2 of the Marratech workshops this week and learned some basic CSS with Dreamweaver. I am looking forward to getting more involved with programming, it was a good taste of what is to come. I had some issues with Marratech however that I hope to figure out if it is my mic or my internet connection that was acting up.
