Major Project Proposal

Marcie's Musings June 19- Sat next to a woman on the plane from DC with an i Pad. I am jealous. I especially liked the photo quality. Small world she world for Holt International and has spent time in Ethiopia too. She gave me a potential clinical site for future trips with the students. Nothing like good old fashion networking...she gave me her business card. Also liked the "library" of books on her i Pad.

June 20th - Failed attempt at setting up this journal. Need to seek assistance from a higher source. Sent email to Scott. Exploring project ideas through e-books with Elsevier.

Star date 6/21/10 - Was able to "chat" with Scott and figured out how to edit my pages and clarify the difference between blogs, discussion groups and wikis...I think I am getting it. I am glad Scott was able to walk me through it in real time.

June 22 - Trying to set up my new course with e-books. I am wondering if the Elsevier blackboard with 24/7 IT service would be better than the GFU FoxTale site for my course. There are pros and cons to each. Met with Scott at the EDFL orientation today face to face! Schultze would be pleased. :-) Also met some new profs and students. I appreciated the health lunch options.

June 23- I can't believe how long it takes me to read a chapter even when I enjoy the reading! This is good for increasing my student empathy for their assignments.

June 24- My son is planning his 14th birthday and doesn't want any of our adult assistance. He is using his phone of course! June 25- My microwave blew up for now apparent reason and the ice maker on the refrigerator is not working! How did I ever survive without technology?
