Off and Running
Why the blog delay? I guess putting my thoughts on paper is really a new skill for me. It's not that I have trouble thinking. I just have a hard time transferring my thoughts into writing. But I'll learn! As with any new habit, repetition is the key.
Now back to the topic! This is a good time to reflect on my first week in class. I really do feel like I'm off and running. Or is it off and falling? I feel like I have had one challenge after another. I missed ordering a critical book. My computer crashed (again). I got confused and missed posting in my action research thread on blackboard. I had trouble getting onto Tappin. I'm having transferring video to my PC. And the list goes on and on.
Am I complaining though? No! As I reflect on Virtcamp and this first week, I realize that I've learned more in two weeks then I normally do in a whole year. By moving way out of my comfort zone I am growing again as an individual. As I mentioned in our Tappin chat yesterday, I keep thinking about our course topics all daylong - I must be learning!
So I'm afraid to admit it, but it is true: I'm off and falling, therefore I must be off and running.

HI Jim,
I am glad to hear that your thoughts from class are invading your day. This program works if you learn all day every day. That is way more time than a traditional course over 2 years. We can't make you do this, but the more you keep the ideas we westle with front and center as you go through your work, the more you will take from the experience.
