Hi,
I am looking forward to working with everyone! It has taken a little while to get back into school after a great winter break. The last few days the sun has been shining and my outdoor projects have been calling. I hope to get my pond and a waterfall finished this year. I love to garden. With 40 acres I have plenty of space to indulge in my hobby. My husband and I love to travel. We were in Roatan over winter break. We plan to go to Sedona Az. in March for baseball spring training. I am a semi retired emergency nurse. My goal is to design and teach online nursing courses.
I hope this class will help provide a foundation for evidenced based teaching and design. As a nurse I have strived to develop my professional nursing career based on an evidenced based practice and I encourage others to do so.
In this week’s reading assignment three lines stood out for me and are questions I will ask as I progress in the development of design and teaching:
1. “Technology that promotes learning” is the technology appropriate and does it promote learning?
2. Is it “compatible with the human learning process” ?
3. Does it meet “psychological learning requirements”?
I am looking forward to completing the multimedia projects outlined in the syllabus and developing technical skills in multimedia production. I think it will be a fun and interesting semester.

Hi Debbie: I just did a little search to see what Roatan was. Looks beautiful. I have always lived with the mantra, "life's a mountain, not a beach." But the more I look at beautiful pictures like these, and the harder it is to mountaineer as I age, the more appealing it looks. Is that an affordable vacation location?
ReplyDeleteI too love the mountains having lived in Lake Tahoe for 15 years and grew up just outside of Yosemite. Roatan can be a very affordable vacation if you can get the right airfare. We have gone 6 times in the last 5 years each year we say its the last time,time for some new places but as usual we are already planning next years trip which will include Utila.
