Howdy! I will try to get some pictures posted tomorrow. Sorry! I have been dealing with some health issues for the past few weeks and that has been rather time consuming.
I have been working on getting my lesson plans going for teaching stats later this summer. Actually, I start teaching in a few weeks. Yikes! Where did the time go. I am doing the lessons in prezi, which is sort of like powerpoint. Thought I would give that a try.
I am also working on completing my Online Instructor Certificate through MSU this summer. I took a class Thursday morning on using an LMS - Learning Management System. Which is fancy speak for an online system that students log into and their professors post notes, grades, class news, they can even take quizzes online, submit papers they have written for a class, etc. Many colleges and universities have a system like this. Anyway... This was one of the best trainings I have attended, hands down. The instructors were skilled at dealing with people afraid of computers, as well as those who were programmers and had much computer skill. This was a class on the 'basics' and is required for the Online Instructor Certificate. Even though I have some experience using the system, I still picked up some good tricks and tips. I am looking forward to taking more classes from these people as I found this class to be quite excellent! AND, they hired a new gal to work on the system, and she is a former math professor, so I talked to her for awhile about teaching math and she has some great ideas! It was fun to talk to someone who loves to teach math as much as I do!
Other than that..... The rabbits are good! Silly as ever! They jump on my pillow in the middle of the night hoping that I will feed them cheerios or chocolate. I keep trying to tell them cheerios and chocolate aren't for rabbits, but they disagree. Also that they are not supposed to be nocturnal animals, but I think they know I will cave and give them something if they wake me up in the middle of the night!
Ok. Time for me to go to bed. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow.
