The Journey Begins in AED 200

The process of setting up the gmail account was easy to do, as I have had a gmail account in the past.  I have never used the shared documents through Google before so hopefully that will go smoothly.  I have used Blogspot in another class in the past so I am fairly comfortable with the process.  Once I know that the initial setup has been done right I will be fine.  

I am expecting to learn about artists and art techniques in this class.  I did not realize that this class also involved art creation.  I am pretty excited that it does.  I used to do a lot of drawing and painting before I had my 2 boys and life got a bit more hectic.  Learning more about techniques, the history of art and how it has evolved are the topics I am looking forward to learning about.  

I love taking online classes.  This may be my first one at Buffalo State but I took almost all of my classes at NCCC online.  I feel that for me it is a great platform for me to learn and do well.  By taking a class online I know that I can participate everyday no matter what is going on in life.  With two children there are many things that can make attending a class on campus a bit difficult at times.  Also in a classroom setting I am on the shy side, so I can get involved in discussions in online classes which give me more out of the class.  I find that the key to success in online classes is to keep on top of deadlines and not to fall behind.
