February 10 Lecture

I found Tuesday's lecture one of the most interesting we have had thus far. The problems we face as modern educators are much different than those that were faced by teachers of previous generations. Internet has changed everything. The Internet is an invaluable resource for classroom research but there is definitely a more sinister side to it for those who seek it out.

Back From The Dead

It has been some time since I have posted. I am finally learning to function in the sleep deprived state that accompanies having a newborn in the house. Miller Gregory Gerwing was born on Tuesday Feb. 3rd at 9:00 am. He was 9 lbs and 2 oz and is a beautiful, healthy baby boy. We also have a jealous big brother, Dawson, at home. He is two and a half. I have been finding it hard to concentrate on school work, but the more sleep I get the more motivated I am becoming. One thing I have appreciated during this time is Facebook. It is amazing how many people wished us well during this time. It was also cool to be able to post pictures and have everyone see the new addition to our family. E-mail was another way people extended their well wishes. I really felt connected to my extended on-line community.
