Tuesday Morning Anxiety......

As I mentioned at our Saturday meeting, Evrim and I tend to be on a little different schedule for our class. We do the weekly video the Thursday before the week starts and thus by Tuesday, it seems that we should be well into the week. Thus, I have a tendency to get a little nervous when I check our class on Tuesday morning. I am usually anxious to see activity starting up and evidence that our assignments and discussion topics made sense to you. I was especially nervous for this, my first Tuesday morning check.

You will now need to picture me sitting at my computer smiling as I have just visited four nicely structured discussions that are all off to a good start. I observe different and effective leadership styles in each group, focused comments including specific references to our readings and incorporating other resources, and some lively interchange. Already on Tuesday morning, I notice one group leader (Kim) hanging out in other groups.

I look forward to the development of our discussions this week as we work to understand (and construct!) definitions of constructivist learning theory and its relevance to our work with technology and to define and consider the needs of a new generation of learners.

And thanks for addressing my Tuesday morning anxiety!
