Just Some Thoughts...

Last Wednesday, instead of showing up to NE-173 the students of ED TECH 296 attended class via the computer. I must comment on how much I enjoyed that type of classroom situation. It was nice to be in the comfort of my one room. I felt more at ease which made it easier for me to consintrate on what subject matter was being discussed. I also did fidgit as much as I would if I were sitting in an uncomfortable chair. It was also nice to be able to get up if I needed to without interrupting the class or the other students. It was very effective and I enjoyed it thouroughly. I don' t think we should use that technique for every Wednesday class...but I do think that we should try it again sometime.

Oh yea....I was just skimming through higgins and decided to mention a technique that caught my eye. They are the eight stages in the Creative Problem Solving Process. Those stages are: analyzing the environment, recognizing the problem, identifying the problem, making assumptions, generating alternatives, choosing among alternatives, implementing the chosen solution, and control.
-Not only do these steps seem useful and successful, but I have had experience in using them...maybe not all of them...but something quite like it. It works!
