Intro Post

As I begin this course, I am wondering how I completed the  22 hours of credit during the past year.  When I started last August, my parents were moving into assisted living (mom has Alzheimer's) and a week later Dad had a heart attack.  They went back home in January.  This morning I received a phone call that mom was taken to the hospital and they readmitted her to the nursing home because dad can't take care of her any more.  They are 87.  So I am starting the year off in a hectic way again.  Heading out tomorrow to help with the situation for a few days.
This week has been interesting at school.  Our first full week of being an iPad school.  Lots of learning going on but not always a subject but just learning to use the new technology.  I think students and teachers alike were overwhelmed.  I was proud of myself for being able to upload an assignment, the kids opened it from their iPads, completed it, turned it in, I graded it and returned it - all with no paper!  Not everything went smoothly but we are learning.  I'll let you know how it progresses.
