Well, I finished my last assignment last night. I am glad to be done with this class. I will admit, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I did learn a lot about statistics and I understand it more now than I did when I was younger. Maybe it is more of a willingness to learn it this time instead of just taking the class as a filler math class in college.
I found some interesting data on the Archives web site. I was not sure what to look up then I found a search for military records. I looked up data on my Grandfather who was a World War II veteran and a prisoner in a German camp for a few months. I was able to find information about his enlistment such as where he enlisted, his term of enlistment, and more. I was also able to find out some information on his time a the German camp. It listed his date of capture, where he was held, and his status (released/rescued). This topic was something he never talked about but I have always been fascinated with. Even though the amount of data on him was minimal I did learn somethings.
I am looking forward to our next class already. Learning how to facilitate an online class will be helpful to me in the future. I am working with some software now that has Elluminate built into its interface. I plan on offering professional development to our teachers and staff starting in the Spring. This is coming just in time. Hopefully I will pickup some good tips to help me plan and manage my classes.
