Monday, August 22

There was a lot going on today but as far as actually product to show for what I did, I have very little. I guess that's what the "in training" phase is really all about.

1. worked in e-college--still unsure of dropboxes and e-college editor (will work on that more later).
2. played with photoshop--created poster but again had difficulty in saving to Zip disk.
3. created a concept map using Inspiration.
4. created a survey using SurveyMonkey.
5. searched through and familiarized myself (or at least began to) with the OLL website.
6. Question--Am I to add to the online newsletter, produce a paper newsletter or both?Andy answered this already.
7. spent some time surfing through the USA website, again familiarizing myself with new areas/pages and locations that may be useful later on.
8. read through pedagogical and technological objectives under the Job Aids section of the OLL website.
9. looked up software info online for instructor.
10. reviewed past newsletters.
11. emailed Litchfield (about newsletter).
12. emailed Hans (about working with Producer).
13. tried out DreamWeaver but the instructional folder didn't match program.

'Tis the night before the semester starts...

...and all through the house, the dustbunnies have all been dusted, but I really wish I were soused.

Okay, okay, so it ain't Shakespeare--but it's better than the typical "test test" message, right?

Actually, I have indeed been cleaning most of the day--trying to put some of that nervous energy to good use.

While we've already had orientation for the Online Learning Lab, tomorrow's the first "official" day of work/class. I shouldn't be, but yup, I'm a bit on edge.

It's rather like the night before Christmas, really--all kinds of possibilities.
