Hello, I think I realized dthat my definition:
“Distance learning is when you are learning in a class where you are not in the presence of the instructor, but are still able to communitcate and learn as if you were. ”
of Distance learning wasn’t quite as elaborate as everyone elses. I feel this is because I am a math techer and like to be a person of few words. Of course, it can always be because of my lack of spelling and I don’t see a spell check on these things (anyone knows how to get one let me know). I have learned so much in the last couple of days. I feel like I will be able to communitcate with the teenagers that I teach. Now I know what they are doing on my space all day. I heard that some stay on it all night. (I know the feeling now!!) I just have one question: HOW DO I post on my blog without erasing the one from the day before? or are you suppose to replace them each time? OK, I have several of you all in my instant messanger, but there are only about 5 that are using Yahoo. I thouth about getting a MSN address too, but I don’t think I can type fast enough to do that. So, unless I have to I think I will stick with yahoo.
I was reading the article that Dr. Lowell wanted us to read about how we are not doing our research accurately and how to tell when we get “good” results. I don’t think that article was written by educators because of the “controll” groups. I feel that our resutls are the best we can do with live students to use in the research. I did an action research class before and it is extremly difficult to get approval to do just about any type of research with different groups of studnets. They want to make sure the studnet that are not gettin the interventiokn will not be hurt from and anyways from the lack of intervention. We spent the whole semester, summer, and 3 weeks of the next semestet getting approval. I hope I am writing this in the right class with the right blog. If you don’t know what I am talking about please let me know so I can put it on the other blog.

Hey, still not getting the hang of it, because I don’t think I am suppose to comment to myself. I am not sure how to post another blog without using the comment section. HElP is good. I did however Im and chat with Dr. Lowell. I get my google aggegate up and everyone’s addresses in. I learned that copying and pasting is much easier to add blog addresses. I also had to add comment/feed and /feed to all of your addresses that way I will get not only your blogs but all of your comments you get from them too. I hope I can remember all these different passwords. I have to use different ones than usual so I am writing them down. Hope everyone has a good day. Mine is starting off great with a lock down in class.

distance learning is when you are learning in a class where you are not in the presence of the instructor. I feel this s a short, but thorough definition.
