Blah Blah Blog

That was my husband's idea of a creative blog title. I actually loved it - it made me laugh. But, alas, it didn't quite feel like me. Instead I chose mine because it is a reference to where we live. Six months ago we bought a small parcel of what used to be a Christmas tree farm called Wildwood. I am online student, and thanks to the miracle of modern technology, I will be doing most of my schooling from this place. Actually, even as I write this I'm sitting on the tire swing in the front yard!

I look forward to getting to know all my fellow students. Here's my animoto video:

  1. I love your blog title too! I'm originally from California and have only lived in West Virginia for 4 years! I can relate to the "into the wild" theme! I love it here too!

    I learned that you like to garden. My husband is a landscape architect and he does all the gardening. While he was in Europe for a class this summer I tried to manage the garden....not good.

    We are similar in that I also have a son and a daughter and my daughter is a full fledged tom boy!

    I'm excited and nervous about teaching this course! I want us to accomplish great things in terms of telling powerful and meaningful stories with digital media but am unsure of the best way to support everyone in accomplishing this task.

    Please help me by communicating with me whenever you have questions or concerns about course assignments!
