Yesterday was "one of those days." I started teaching my UNC Wilmington Strategic Writing online course, only there were a couple "i" and "t" crossings that didn't get made.
Nothing like teaching an online course in real time...sitting at your kitchen table, amidst the dust and chaos of the renovation, my kids happily napping or checked into a video, and knowing that 20+ students are looking out the window [of a UNCW classroom] at the sunshine on the first day of class...waiting and waiting for their professor to show up. Only, I was staring at my computer screen and wondering if they were going to show up.
Then there is the Catch-22. I need to go to UNCW on Friday morning (at 9 a.m.! Gulp!), show up in the classroom on Friday, speak to the students to return it to its virtual state.
Well, since it will be Friday, I hope they don't mind seeing me in my pajamas and bathrobe.
