"Confused" and Letting it Be Known

EDU 595: Telecommunications in Education appeared to be an exciting and interesting class in the begining. But when your not by nature a computer tech person, doing the different assignments can be a bit overwhelming. I know I am not the only one, somewhat confused on what needs to be actually done. For example, for our bookmarking, is it just a page with all the sites I bookmarked throught the internet and post them on microsoft word. The CD portfolio, how do I place all the assignments on the CD, my blog, my wiki, my bookmark, my web chat and uneset group. I hope someone can help me and I hope I can clear the air for others who are confused like me. I would greatly appreciate any help. I am a visual learning. I wish someone could show me how. Showing and telling is two different things. Please help the confused students!!!! smile

Taking Classes Online

Because I am married and have three children, also work full time, taking online classes is so comfortable for me. I can stay at home with my family and not have to worry about a babysitter or someone else to cook for my wonderful husband. However, there have been classes that were somewhat difficult because when I don't understand something and send an email for help, at times the feedback did not come when I expected it to. I had to wait a day or two in my last class at times for a response. Eventually, I did get the help I needed. Since it's winter time, I don't have to drive out in the snow for class but could stay in the comfort of my own home and do my class assignments. I have also learn more about technology while taking online classes. My computer is actually becoming a close friend of mine. Working on blackboard is helpful especially when group members are in different cities. The communication is still getting through and the assignment is getting done. I have learned so much about my computer since taking online classes. Also, online classes helps me to discipline myself to get an assignment done in timely matter. I also, like the fact that the classes doesn't last 15 weeks but 7 or 8 weeks. This mean I can graduate sooner. smile How do you view online classes? Do you see it as an advantage or disadvantage?

My son has Sickle Cell Anemia

I wanted to talk about being a mother who has a child with Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA). It is not easy because you never know when a person with SCA is going to have an attack. Go to this site and it will explain more to you about SCA. http://www.sheliababer.s5.com/ Feel free to give feedback and ask questions.
