Plan of Action

My plan is to turn this blog into a classroom management tool. One of the classes that I teach at Lenoir is English 114 (Professional Research & Reporting); I teach three sections of this, one being online. I'd like to do two things with my blog:

1. Provide information on distance education--discuss the pros and cons, provide links to articles, schools, etc., and of course offer my own experiences. My target audience will be my students or anyone interested in online education (or hybrid classes).

2. Provide daily or at least weekly updates on my 114 course--for example, what someone may have missed on a certain day, lecture points, pertinent links, suggestions, etc. Even though this will be a tool for traditional "in class" students, it will incorporate the Internet into their routine and hopefully encourage their participation in the "Internet Revolution."

I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
