More on technology tools
As I begin to teach more and more online, I have tried to use a new tool each time I teach a new course. I have become more proficient with using blogs and wikis. More recently, I have established an account in SKYPE. What prompted this was an invitation from one of my students to participate in one of their team meetings where they were discussing their team project. I have learned much about SKYPE and have enjoyed the interaction with students.

Theran,
Yes, you are spot on! I too like routine ( it keeps chaos at bay) but I have to temper my "OCD" issues with the fact that students are as unpredictable at times as the learning environment.

Years ago when I was younger, I did not care for change. I loved routine, especially those I was familiar with and comfortable with.
Now as a teacher I find that I must embrace change, much of which is centered around technology. It certainly brings out the unknown and takes one out of their comfort zone at times.
Marcia,
I think you have a great plan. This does keep you from being overwhelmed by the technology.
