- This is my Grandma Mayhew. She lived to the ripe old age of 100 years. She passed away only a few years ago. She was probably in here late 90s here. I wanted to share with you about her use of technology. I can remember when she got here first microwave oven.
- Some of you gen-x-ers may not remember being without Microwaves, but we baby boomers may be able to share about how new technologies tend to be used for anything and everything when they first come out. Grandma Mayhew learned to cook from her mom on a wood range. It took time and patience and great skill. I can remember her mother, my Great Grandma Doud cooking the entire Thanksgiving dinner for our whole family on that range when I was a young boy.

- Traditional classroom discussion is different than asynchronous online discussion. Both have strengths and challenges. Asynchronous permits student to engage who might otherwise not get a word in edgewise. Everyone has a chance. Reflection is another positive. Also, the conversation is captured and can be reviewed and added to at a later date and time. Reference: License CC-BY-NC-SA Some rights reserved by ILRI
