The other is a few thousand miles away, but I have been with them for three years and I love it and don't want to give it up. And they like what I do too.
One of the perks of online teaching is online office hours. I set up a time with my students for a Blackboard Collaborate session. Great, right? I could do it from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 to 9:30 and then go into work. Bonus: It's warmer after 9 a.m. up North. I even got some extra one-on-one training for the collaborate sessions.
Of course, it went up in smoke. I created the session, but my Mac won't open it for me. I'm not sure why. It just keeps barfing and timing out.
So I opened Skype and am patiently waiting for someone- anyone- to drop in. Any day now...
Not a great first experiment, but not a complete waste. I'm revising an article I wrote yesterday on teaching writing theory.
