Good morning everyone! I wanted to let you all know that we will resume the online teaching classes soon! I have worked up a new format that I think will be much more effective in getting the information to you all AND allowing for both some social time and discussion time. :-)
There seemed to be a general idea that when I suspended classes that I was angry because of the way class was going. That isn't quite true. More than anything I was frustrated with the format that I was using that didn't allow me to get as much information to you as I hoped. I felt that I was turning into a "sit down and shut up" teacher and that is not what I want for you all!! You aren't in kindergarten and no one is going to have to clean erasers after class!
However, I did start to feel the frustrations of some of the students and myself. Therefore, I have set about to build a better mousetrap. Just a bit more tweaking and I will introduce the new format, probably in about two weeks.
I miss the classes!! I miss the interaction with all of you. We will be back at it soon. (And if you aren't registered for class, why not???? LOL. Email Berkeley at [email protected] and get instructions for signing up.)
Love, Mambo Sam
