Hello Friends!
It's been a while since I got on line, so many obstacles to overcome to keep in touch with all of you.You guys are important to me.
Without technology what are we to do? We (I know I have) come to depend on the internet system for everything I do. For one lllooonnnggg week I felt soo helpless without the internet services that have become an important part of everyday life. My everyday life for now are the classes I'm taking this semester, and for each one of them I have to get on line. Man, you guys dont' know how good it is to be reading your entries and "feeling" like I'm in touch again.
I don't know how long the village will be out, but I am able to use the schools computers to some work. It's kind of scary and sad to realize that I have become so depended on technology, but it is mostly good. :)

I know how you feel. Last Thursday, a major fiber optic line between Fairbanks and Anchorage was accidentally cut and UAF (and most of Fairbanks) lost Internet service until Friday. I was in the lab when the outage occurred, and I had to leave because there was nothing I could do. I couldn't get on Blackboard to work on your projects, couldn't catch up on e-mail, couldn't post a blog entry, etc.
It's amazing to me that the World Wide Web as we know it is just over 10 years old. Life has sure changed a lot in that time. And it will change a lot more in the next couple of years. We need to make sure our students are prepared for that.
It's a little scary to me sometimes, too--but generally the advantages outweigh the disadvantages by a long shot.
