I still havn't figured out where we are to post our answers to the questions. I tried to submit my response to the snow day and tech.. I figure I am trying to put it where it doesn't go. Well anyway, it'll work out. I also find that my submissions for the websites are probably wrong. I'll need fix them. Good about a Wiki is it can be repaired. Off to more homework.

Well I panicked for nothing. I skipped class last night because of a snow storm that wasn't very bad. A good thing about it was the chance to use Skype, so in a way I was in class. It was a unique experience and I was exptremely glad to be able to listen and watch class. For some reason my computer was running a little slow and I was unable to talk to you. The mute button on my end didn't seem to make a difference. I truly appreciated the opportunity to monitor the class, hear the lecture and listen to the videos. A student at home sick or laid up for any reason could attend class via Skype. To make it work smother you could assign a particular student to attend to the connection and help the person on Skype to be heard or adjust the camera. (maybe a remote controlled camera) I could only see the bottom 1/4 of the screen, the wall and floor but I could hear very well. I think that everyone in my class should stay home and attend class via Skype.

An opinion/argument

After visiting the website www.webquest.org I found it hard to actually decide. The site had file sharing and it has different applications for communication. It’s just that these communication strands are found separately from their content and the interaction is limited even though you can upload or download files. Webquest might be a 1.2 but I don’t think it is a 2.0.

Hey everyone, its another beautiful day and I am going to be busy. In a little bit I'll begin my homework again and try to get my argument up about the Webquest site. I will need to do my 5153 class first. There is one article to correct (APA) and another to write and post, once that is done I'll work on 5513. Has anyone ever needed to do a Saturday class? I meet this Saturday for a 5573 class. Sounds strange until you here the logic. My progessor is pregnant and she is due in April so she wants to have some Sat. classes so we can avoid several class times in April. Sounds OK to me. I can work with it. Back later.

Good Morning, I was up early to finish an article review that was due by 8:00 AM. Finally got around to updating my blog. Life has been a bit dull around hear. My wife and I took my Father out for steaks last night at the Texas Roadhousse. The steaks have to be tender for him to eat one anymore and they were. Dad cleaned his plate. It probably wasn't the best night to take him out, with the ice and all because he isn't very agile anymore. It's a sad thing to watch your parents begin to fail both mentally and physically. My Mother lived in a Nursing Home for several years becausse of Alxheimers and mental problems. She would disappear and end up brought home by friends from the other side of town. Mom would go on a walk and get lost. She was beginning to live in her memories and would forget which house she was actually living in. My parents lived in this little town (Perry) forever and are known by all. I was born and raised there until I graduated and moved away. We lost Mom this last summer and it was with mixed feelings. Her last few years were so bad, she was practically impossible to understand and you never knew if she even recognized you. I miss my Mom.

Advice: Spend time with your family....quality, loving time.
