Working furiously trying to get everything done before leaving on Friday for my trip. Thought I'd jump in and get Module 3 done in the course and move on to other things. But things are never quite as easy as they seem. I finally wrote to Jay because I couldn't get Odeo to record. He responded quickly (thank you) and suggested that I try a different browser. I was using IE and switched to Mozilla Firefox. Voila. It worked great. So here is my short audio file on why I think people don't use audio more in distance education.
Why not audio?
And now for the GabCast recording Gabcast! distance education channel #1

I spent a good part of the day today working on my class assignments. What fun! I really enjoyed learning about RSS feeds and setting up my BlogBridge. I'm excited about the possibilities and how I might use this in my classes. In the mean time I went a little crazy choosing what I wanted to download onto my aggregator. I can now get all of my Atlanta Braves news , my recipes, travel information, and main stream and alternative press in one place. How cool is that!

It's a cool Sunday morning in Georgia. Hoping for rain today to knock all of the yellow pine pollen out of the air. My son and his fiance are coming by today for dinner. That's gotten to be a Sunday ritual since they moved to Georgia from Virginia last year. It's one that I enjoy. I have to do a little (well actually alot) of house cleaning today. Saturday is usually our day for that but we were busy all day yesterday with school and friends. So that leaves it for today. I'll call my oldest son sometime today. He still lives in Cincinnati with his wife and my granddaughter. I selfishly wish they were all nearby but I'll be grateful for the fact that David wanted to move to be closer to Mom. I try to drive up (8 hours) and see the baby at least every other month. She changes so quickly. Her first birthday party is this month but I'll miss it because of my trip to Argentina. That's really ok though. She's not old enough to know and I won't have to share her with all of her other grandparents :-). I'll see her when I get back. Here is a recent photo of her. Guess I'd better get cleaning and cooking.
