Living On-Line

The on-line assignment from last week was a success. All students responded and completed the assignment as directed. On Two occasions, while I was on-line, students contacted me through Google Talk with specific questions relative to assignments and homework.

One student had the assignment to present to a large group, four classes meeting together. He prepared and presented his assignment in Google Docs Presentations. The documents are not real full featured, such as PowerPoint, but if one can learn to create within their parameters, the benefits of on-line accessibility and storage are fantastic.

The presentation I was scheduled to give last Friday got pre-empted. The opening presenter took an hour and 45 minutes when he was scheduled for 30 minutes; too bad.
