Blogging #1
Well, I have no idea what a blog is all about.
Since I’m not sure what is meant by computer technology (network technology), print, visual/design, I guess that answers the question of my literacy (or lack of) in this subject matter.
Never blogged before and don’t even know what its purpose is.
Don’t have a myspace page. I like the face-to-face learning and so I’m taking this course to hopefully prepare me for my teaching experience in the on-line arena or I guess distance learning.
About me: I teach for SAIL at CSUSB. I teach all of the Social/Behavioral courses that students generally have difficulty with (don’t pass). For instance, I teach the adjunct this quarter for History 200, Psy 100, SSCI 316, PSCI 203. I sit in the content courses and work with the professors as well as take notes etc. Then, I go back and teach my adjunct students study strategies, work with them on understanding the material through lecture note activities and reviews, practice quizzes, games etc. etc. I love it and this is my 2nd full year.
As a graduate student, well I hope my career at CSUSB ends this quarter. My 3rd chapter is in review by my committee; my thesis chair is soon to be on sabatical and we’re hoping that I’m in “ruler” format review with Grad Office by May 9th! Its been a long journey but an exciting one. And, I still love my thesis topic.
I really thought some of your blogs were spectacular; but, here is my “plain jane”.
See you all in class.

Hey Lydia, what you do in the SAIL program sounds great and very rewarding. I work as a tutor in the Writing Center myself – it can be challenging work, but something worthwhile, especially for students who seek the assistance.
I agree that face-to-face learning has its benefits – for instance, we have tutoring online, though I wonder how effective that really is… I do really appreciate the opportunity to have much information accessible online though – I think this access really is a benefit to learning and a supplement to face-to-face learning.
Nice to meet you!
Hello There,
You are a brave woman. I honestly mean that. Just reading all that you do as a part of your job for SAIl is intimidating. It seems to me that you have a lot on your plate, but you’re managing it all. You know we had a class together last quarter. I never would have imagined that you had so much going on because of the way that you hold it all together. Well, I will get off your blog.
Adios
