Mixed Classes

I'm taking Ed 420 with a few of the people from ED 429 and I have to say, I am relieved that I'm able to sit in the classroom rather than participating via audioconference. We talk about a lot of really interesting subjects regarding eduction and it's hard to get a good discussion going. I would feel a little "short-changed," as Erica put it.It's difficult because when you have a comment, you want to share it right away, but because we have to share air-time, it's not always possible to do so. By the time you get a moment to voice your concerns/thoughts, we're onto a different subject. I hope that we can figure something out because I really think the class could be very enjoyable.

I wonder if it would be appropriate to point the instructor to some of the ED 429 blog entries on subsistence? This might open up some avenues of communication other than the audioconferences during class times. I know I have learned a great deal from those blog posts.

I agree with you, it can get pretty frustrating when I'd like to share something, but don't have the chance. I liked sharing on blackboard, it gave me a chance to express and respond.
