Many people prefer to experience education in a face to face format; in fact, prior to my adult learning class that I took over the summer I was one of them. Once I took my first virtual class I was completely sold! The first class is always a little hairy when using wimba for the first time. It is inevitable that time is spent on working out the kinks and overcoming the quarks of technology. In the end, I promise you will LOVE the virtual classroom and wimba. There are so many benefits to a virtual classroom, I can't begin to name them all. On a personal note, I have a 7 week old baby at home that I am nursing; this class allows me to take the class and take care of my new baby without delaying my education.
I am quite excited for this class. I was happy to hear that I am not the only one taking the class that isn’t a teacher. It is a little intimidating taking class with all educators. Having said that, I really enjoy being able to observe so many different teaching ideologies that my classmates share. I am sure this class will prove to be as equally interesting as my previous classes.

I was hoping you would post pictures of the baby :)
