Today is a perfect day for e-learning...winter has returned to North Bay with a vengeance…it is snowing and so cold outside that even the snowmen are wearing scarves…today is a perfect day to stay at home and attend class online…
In fact, attendance today was interesting…there were 27 students in class, 35 students online, and a number of students who were participating in off-campus activities who will view the recorded class at a later time.
The Rolling Stones were the warm-up act for today's class…well, at least for a bit…while we were waiting for the main act to start…this old dog was distracted…somehow, a mischievous student hijacked the computer…next thing you know we were watching a ballet performance…but you know...Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and ballerinas…not much difference…just my humble opinion...
This semester, we are extremely fortunate to have a lovely young lady from India in our recreation program…she does not seem impressed with snow; however, she is most kind and agreed to share a video about her country with us…how appropriate to be watching a video on India as the snow falls outside…it was simple to download and play this video using Contact North technology…and her video provided an educational treat for her classmates.
During today's class, it became apparent to this old dog that the novelty of delivering and participating in our e-learning class has waned somewhat…students and professor are becoming so accustomed to using Contact North technology that everything is becoming automatic…
Next class is scheduled for Wed April 15...hard to believe this will be our last Rec 130 class...time does fly when you are having fun.
