Wordle

I finished my first assignment for my online distance learning instruction class this week, and was intrigued by all the interesting resources out there.

Technology here I come

As anyone who has ventured to this little blog knows, I haven't been a house-afire in keeping my postings current. SO, to push the effort a little and to get this Boomer a little more comfortable with the technology of the 21st century, I've signed up for a class in designing a class in distance learning.
