Hi!
I just finished my first week of my first classes at GSC and they are both online. I had a couple of fears about doing online classes. They sounded like a great opportunity to take a class and work at my own pace during the week from my kitchen. It's still great idea, but my attention span, or lack thereof, is what was causing me a bit of concern. But so far I have found that the online instructors really keep us engaged with readings, postings, and discussion boards. It has been interesting to post my discussion topic and to see others replies and also their discussion topics. Most fun was reading everyone's intro and to see how similar we are in our goals and many of our backgrounds. So even though we're separated by distance, the online class (via Blackboard) has helped to bridge that distance with interesting online conversation and assignments.
Talk to you all soon!
