what we need two weeks out

Does anyone have connection to Uhaul or Penske? I want to get my stuff out of Metairie ASAP. This is probably about 2-3 weeks away.

Also, if jobs aren't available, perhaps there is a volunteer opportunity for me to retain or gather new strenghs.

Thanks,

susan

Sad times

A good friend died last weekend. "It's a Hellava thing" was one of the last catch phrases I heard him say. I was lucky enough to see him a few weeks before he passed. It's sad when someone so young leaves when they have so much good to do. I can't say that I understand it; I can't say that I condone his leaving us. Dave was known for many good lines and good stories. He touched lives beyond mine. His love of family was unwavering. As a Midwestern, I was mostly confused by his priorties. We seem to put order and work before most everything and pride ourselves on these accomplishments. Dave was defined by his family and the things that made him enjoy life. His legacy will long be remembered because he was not confused; he had his priorities straight. Family first. Family above all else. Family was the accomplishment.

Innovations that impact on an institution’s ability to maintain a competitive edge

In my view, innovations and trends around online learning will be within the aspect of service. Whether the LMS is traditional or an augmented reality, students yearn for flexibility and continuity while receiving personal and, even, customized service.

Students want an “anytime, anywhere” experience, whether their professors are holograms, teach through conferencing tools like Collaborate, or use gaming strategies. Students will receive easy access to content, instructors, and supporting services. One of the biggest possible trends would be toward a “subscription” service. Millennials are used to Netflix, Overwatch, and Pokémon Go, and would desire the same flexibility for degrees. In a manner similar to what educators call “chunking,” students want the flexibility to binge learn or stop without penalty. The idea of mobility and transferability, both in platf...

Happy Halloween

Today, I'd like to thank Marcia Baird and Frannie Glossen. Probably the strangest thing I'm doing these days has to do with garbage. As you may know, we are staying at someone's cottage located on the Lake. Since it is that kind of scenerio, there is no garbage pick up. I'm the one you'll notice lurking near any store's trash can. Each day I take a Target bag (or Walmart or whatever) full of trash, put it in my car and when I go to a store I take my trash with me and put it into the outside garbage can. SO the next time you are woofing about taking out the trash to your curb, trash shoot, or dumpster, just think of me. Do you know where You would put YOUR garbage? What would kind of trash would you feel comfortable getting rid of at the local Walmart? What would you do with your recycling? Another convenience that we take for granted.
