Wow - can't believe it's nearly over!

This class has flown by so quickly, and it's kept me pretty busy. I've learned so much and feel more confident about using web-based tools now. I'm excited about our field trip in Second Life tonight. In fact, I plopped my avatar in a seat at the amphi-theatre already, just to make sure I'm on time. My web pages are coming along well, just a glitch with images that I'm working on now. I had a meeting for a local club that I belong to last night and learned that a fellow club member is taking an on-line class at UMB this summer as well. She's already a teacher but stays home with her children, so she is taking a class to keep up her license. I told her that I've been very pleased with this on-line class, and have learned at least as much as I have in past traditionally-taught classes.
Early Friday morning we're off on our last trip of the summer: to eastern Quebec to visit with husband's mother and extended family. I'm packing clothing for weather similar to what we've had the last few days here - cool. We're looking forward to our trip.
Best of luck to all of you, I'm sure I'll see some of you in the future.

Hi Sigrid, I just wanted to give you a big "Well Done" on your web site. I looked around your site this afternoon while I was trying to get mine started and let me that I was very impressed with your site.

I looked at Becky's too and both of yours were extremely well done. I'm going to try to plod ahead with my page more tonight.

NVU was pretty intuitive, but you seem to have it mastered. Nice Job Sigrid! Best of Luck to you in your student teaching this fall. I know that you'll do a great job. Your incoming 3rd graders will be very lucky to have you for a teacher.

Take Care, -Mike :)
