By George I think I've got it!
Wow! I really didn't know what blogging was until I started playing around with it in Blackboard.
I also started playing attention to the blogging that goes on all over the Internet.
I watch CNN a lot and Anderson Cooper blogs during the breaks.
I am going to be a bloggin' fool in my next online class.
I am very excited about it and I think it is a way to keep the students engaged a little at a time......
Welcome to my blog
The purpose of taking this course is to come up with new ideas of presenting my online SOC101 course. I find the way that I am presenting it a tad boring to me, I can't imagine what my students think.
Although this is my first time teaching online using Blackboard I am discovering some very interesting things. I completed my master's degree online through the University of Phoenix. There is a big difference in being an online student and being an online instructor. I am finding a lot of students who don't like that I facilitate the course weekly requiring weekly accountability. Many of my students have overflowed their plates (like myself) and are struggling to keep their head above water, but thought adding an online class would be easy.

About Me
- Barbara
- Oh goodness, where to begin. I have been adjunct faculty for two years, teaching Sociology. I primarily work for Glendale CC, usually pick up a class for Mesa Red Mountain every semester, I have also taught at South Mountain CC. I am teaching my first online SOC101 course for GCC using Blackboard. I think my class is a little (okay a lot) boring so I took this course to try and jazz it up a bit. And because I have so much free time (haha). I am also a licensed real estate agent and I work full-time in North Scottsdale.
