End is always better than the beginning

Finally more than half of the class is over. The time has come to present the fruits of our labour. Program evaluation was not that easy, but we made it. Developing an instrument was a piece of hard work. Learning and using new and unfamiliar technology was overwhelming. Finding the blogs, creating them, reading them, reflecting on everyone's blogs, participating in the discussions and keeping up with the assignments were all time consuming and many times distressing. Despite all these pains, hard work and unavoidable calamities like Ike I feel that we all have come through well.
Three cheers to our great instructors who were behind the cutains, setting the stage for us to learn. The surprises, the excitements, the shocks, the joys, the discoveries, the achievements, and everything else has brought us together as a class and more than that an interactive community. As I read everyone's blog I understand each one as a person, get to know more about their styles of reflection and interaction which is unique and together we make that very special online learning community.
Mercy.
