First day of Class!

This is my first day in Dr. Foreman class ITEC 830 Multimedia Studies. My first impression was positive as I came into the class room. I glanced around the room and saw happy faces waiting to learn and get started right away. One of my first thoughts about joining the ITEC program was that classes were going to be crowed but this class is not and I also learned that there is even a TA for the class. A TA! This, in my opinion, is great, having someone in our level to discuss and ask about our project is essential in the classroom.

We went through the class introduction and expectation for the semester. Dr. Foreman showed us a video of what Web 2.0 is or is supposed to be. Prior to the video, we did a group brainstorm about what we thought when we think of what Web 2.0 is. My group came up with a few interesting points. I am hoping to make it on time to class because I work everyday until five and have arranged to leave early but traffic may dictate my time of arrival. I wonder if others in class have arranged to take the day off???

I had to rearrange my work schedule to come to class. I have to come into work earlier so I can leave to get to class but I don't have to deal with traffic to get here I just walk down the stairs and I'm in class.

Web 2.0 seems like a great way to communicate through technology but nothing beats personal interaction. I tried the hyflex thing with the Distance Ed class and I felt less motivated to participate than being in class. I guess it would be to each own's personal preference.

See you in class!

My boss knows I have class to attend and has been pretty great about letting me leave early, knowing I'll probably make up the time on some other day.
