Hello from Holly DB

Hi Everyone,

Well, I decided to take the plunge and try out the faculty blog for the remainder of the summer. I don't generally read blogs, so I decided this will be my "something new" for the year.

I am a college instructor at Dawson Community College (Glendive MT) and I will be starting my 20th year this fall. Wow!! I never felt so old as the day I realized that I've been teaching longer than some of my students have been alive.*smile* I joined the CCCOnline faculty in 2001-2002 and currently teach POS 111 American Government and CRJ 220 Human Relations & Social Conflict.

I have found that I truly enjoy teaching students from a wide variety of ages, backgrounds, and experiences. It can be quite the rush! How about the rest of you? What do you find enjoyable about teaching online and/or in the traditional (f2f) classroom?

I look forward to hearing from you in the CCCOnline Community.

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Holly DB

    I have not been a "blogger" myself until now. This is a good way for us to learn how to blog effectively. Thanks, Mary

    I hope you are correct, Mary. From what I keep reading and hearing, our students are more about the technology than we ever were... So, we may as well learn how to use some of what's out there (even if I have to be dragged to it kicking and screaming!*smile*)

    Hi again, everyone...

    Well, so far this blog-thing is working (I won't go into the frustration over the weekend when it wasn't showing properly...)*smile*

    Anyhow, I am planning to head west tomorrow and will be doing a little R & R in Glacier National Park. My only requirement is that I have access to cell phone service so I can log into my online classes. How about the rest of you? Do you find that you can take a little time for yourself (and your family) and still keep up with your online courses?

    P.S. Meet Jasmine (Golden Retriever) and Sadie (English Springer Spaniel). They will be on our little outing as well, they pretty much go everywhere with us...
