Making Progress.......

Well, we are approaching the end of the semester and by then I am hoping to collect all data that are germane to the research. So far the students are doing quite well in publishing their blog posts and commenting on each other's blog. One of my major concerns however is their inability to use the lab at the school to access the discussion board and their blogs. It means that they are left to participate in this online learning activity at home. This is a major constrain.

Right Trip

I had no idea that I would have seen and felt snow since I was traveling in February, a time when many states in the US particularly Georgia rarely get to experience snow. Well I almost missed it since I had to return home the Sunday morning. On arriving at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport I was told that my flight had been cancelled due to inclement weather conditions. Oh no! I thought but my positive outlook on life was unshakable and instantly I thought about the silver lining that was seemingly hiding behind this grey cloud. The answer was clearly revealed in the afternoon around 3 pm when i was called to the door to witness one of my greatest moments of nostalgia. It was such an illuminating experience and a spectacle as I gaze at the falling snow in awe. Take a look


Of course I did go out to grab some and to get a few photos as seen on the left. Was it one of these fairly tale stories that I had read before? It had indeed come true.
