As the semester winds down,

I realize that one of the positive aspects of this class is that our accomplishments are posted on the Internet, easily accessible and difficult to lose. We can see who has been posting and who hasn't, listen to the podcasts, watch the movies, and perhaps read the articles if more get published on NeoVox. As someone who is very intent on getting all assignments finished at the proper time, I like being able to keep track of what I've done. (Besides, of course, in the cases where I couldn't find my Wiki entries, but I'm trying to be strong.)

Online education encourages self-discipline. The student has to remember to check the particular pages and complete the necessary tasks without verbal reminders in class. This class has also created a sort of bond for those of us who have found each other in person and asked, "You're in Cyberspace, right?" Heck, I've talked to some of these people more than I've communicated with classmates in face-to-face classes, like History 101.

On that note of self-discipline, the amount of fresh topics on the course blog has dwindled. I'm wondering if it's from a lack of posting, or perhaps a lack of new things to share. Although it's not my group's week to post, I followed Philip's lead and posted anyway. I was really intrigued by Play Money and may write my NeoVox article based on the conundrum of work and play.

Let's keep truckin'!
