Wow! I'm psyched that this is my first bonefied blog posting! It's nice to finally have a reason to impart those thoughts and reflections. I've chosen as the first assignment to write about my experience teaching Information Literacy skills at the Argosy University Online residency in Atlanta.
Day 1
Actually, yesterday was the first day, which was spent mostly on a plane. Once I arrived at the hotel (Renaissance Concourse), I had the opportunity to sample some finger food, drink some wine (merlot hit the spot), and mingle with faculty and students. Eventually, I made it to my room and started to settle in. I was ecstatic to have internet access, but was way too tired to attempt to grade papers for my English 099 class (of course I set the alarm clock for 4 am, which for me is a good time to start the grading process). I also realized how close I was to the airfield...the planes literally take off and land in my back yard! I spent some time on my patio watching them while drinking a cup of coffee (yes, it's always coffee time).
Day 2
Right now, I'm sitting in the "Library," which consists of 4 chairs, 4 tables, and a pitcher of water. It's 10 am, and I've got a full slate of students (11 to be exact; I get one every 15 minutes!) that have signed up for one on one assistance with our library resources between 1 and 3:30 pm. So, I've got some time to kill. I plan on catching up on email, going over my presentation, and, of course, having another cup of coffee. My first presentation is at 4 pm with the students in the Doctorate in Organizational Leaderhsip program. It'll be a hoot! Anyway, more later. I'll get some pics up in a bit...I must be on the Delta side of the airport...
