Wordle won’t work

Not sure why Wordle won’t work. I updated Java. Oh well. I’ll get started anyway.

My favourite vacation spot is Sooke Potholes campground. The river and grand rock formations make a great swimming spot and the campground is pristine.

I am currently reading a Medieval murder mystery entitled A Wicked Deed. I’m not too far into it but the last one in the same series I read was The Deadly Brew. Basically, a few guys from the Middle Ages get whacked and Matthew Bartholemew, University physician, gets to solve the crimes. He is distinguished by his hygienic approach to medicine which many of his colleagues and patients consider heretical.

I consider the most important aspect of on line learning to be engagement. It’s all too easy to disconnect from the task of following an on line course. I know this because I am currently taking a mooc about historical fiction. Once you disengage, learning is interrupted and degraded.

One thing I’ve learned about on line learning in the past year is the true importance of thorough feedback and how much students appreciate it. This has impacted my practice insofar as I now review assignment drafts.

I’m curious about how readings work with lecture material. I find in the mooc I am following that I skip some of the readings and rely on the lectures. Can lectures give too much information? Or should we design lectures so that they make up for skipped readings?

My Second Shot

This is my second real shot at blogging. My first one was in the early 2000’s. It was called No Turner Left Unstoned and was mostly a philosophy and political blog with a small following. I gave it up for time reasons and really bit the bullet when it came to closing it down and deleting the content. I’m not sure where this blog will take me but I look forward to the trip!
