wow oh wow, yes sometimes I only want to care as much as my students!

I use the white board for class information: date, start finish time, class lecture material, heck I even through in the weather report and some random trivia.

This way you do not have to pentalize a student for missing an exam day (sometimes life can get in the way) but encourage them to do well… >>>

As an online student, I have made the transition to posting class content with ease in my current class. Stating the process seems difficult, however once completed it makes my job alot easier.

I have just set up my first online grade book. at first it was a challange, but now my life has been made easier, my students have feed back that they can use to keep themselves on track, and by keeping a tally on their grades, when i go to close out the class all it now takes is a click of the button.

To help myself deal with stress, i ride my motorcycle at a quick pace down the local freeway. However i do stress when the local authorities take notice to this.
