Master Teacher Blogs
Hi Everyone-
I had forgotten to go read the master teacher blogs regularly, so just went back to catch-up. (This might have been part of a mid-semester slump that several of our bloggers commented on or maybe I was just on vacation.) If you also have skipped a couple of weeks and need a little energizing go read those blogs right this very minute.
You can get to them in the Faculty Community shell (login to D2L and then click on the student tab) or via a public Netvibes page I set up, http://www.netvibes.com/lisacs.
They are well worth reading!
