Introduction

Hi Colleagues,

I have been teaching Astronomy for over 20 years and teaching it online for over 10 years.

This blog is a snapshot of my daily life as an online teacher. I hope it will be entertaining and informative to my online teaching colleagues. I have had some interesting experiences and they have taught me a lot.

I use teams in my online classes. I think this is a great technique for engaging my students. It's not the traditional way of doing things online, but it can be quite rewarding, as you will see if you follow my blog. I will share some of the triumphs and tragedies I have experienced while using online team activities.

I hope you enjoy my blog!

Dave

    Thanks, Holly. I enjoy reading your Blog as well!

    BTW, I use a fairly small VAIO (Sony) laptop and I love it. Dual processor, Win7 and all the goodies. Cost about $900.
