In order to do well and excel in this online course, I will need specific skills and possess certain characteristics to meet the demands an online course offers. Specific skills are essential in technology such as using a computer, understanding the Internet its tools that include Blackboard, blogging, pod casting, vlogging, and how do to research that is authentic. Characteristics that are important to succeed are good organizational skills, meeting deadlines, being respectful to others, participate in writings and discussions with confidence and tact, listening carefully and reading comprehension. An online course offers more than a face to face class insomuch as the material is at your fingertips at any time versus hand written notes that may be obscurred or with missing information.
Because I am so busy at home and in my community with daily chores, meeting the needs of my children and husband, and my own personal committments, this course offered online makes it possible for me to pursue an education. How do I meet the demands? I generally go nuts, then, calm down and find time to do the things I desire in life. Well, like stopping and smelling the roses, whether the laundry room is full, or supper hasn't been cooked, sometimes, I just take a break and say, "I'm on strike today! Fend for yourselves! Good luck!" Do you blame me? So, hopefully with personal perservance I will succeed, afterall, I have managed ten children to date.
I spent just over an hour on this writing between two children fighting, one crying, another wanting to go to the gym, and I didn't cook supper! Thank you for reading.

Hi Kay,
ReplyDeleteThat's fine, workshop away and I look forward to reading your input.
I'm not sure if you know this, but you need to have your rough draft completed before workshopping another student's essay.
