Hello Judy; Thanks for the encouraging feed back. I have had a computer for years but never learned how to use it for anything but homework, email, Mahjong and shopping. I am just getting into technology, and I am getting really excited about it. I am thinking of switching to Educational Technology for my Masters. I can't put my tech book down. I have a friend who teaches Biology in the community college system and she is coming over on Friday so I can teach her what I've learned so far. She won't even email outside of work. You have your hands full with twins and college. I remember when each of my children was 12. One night they went to bed my precious darlings and woke up the next morning fire breathing hormone crazed mutants known as adolescents. I sincerely hope your children don't go as nuts as all of mine did. Something tells me if they do you'll be able to handle it. Dwild008 (talk) 18:05, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Judy! I'm a twin myself and have grown up with other twins as well and I just have to say, good luck with the teen years! Mmill064 (talk) 19:48, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Judy...I agree with your philosophy of Education. I see teachers more as facilitators as well. I believe/hope that the days of hour long lectures are over! Rcare004 (talk) 01:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Judy!

First, I have to tell you I'm related to 8 sets of twins, including my Mother, my siblings, and my husband, and I love all of them! I secretly hope I have a set myself.

I loved hearing someone champion science as not just a clinical, sterile discipline. The sciences were a part of every day conversations when I was growing up, and I never saw them as boring or technical. I was lucky enough to have people in my life who made science seem relevant and vibrant - it sounds like your future students will, too. I keep natural sciences and astronomy as hobbies to this day, even though I'm studying music. I appreciate the implied philosophy of opening up any given subject to be seen as more that its sterotype. (science and stuffy and technical, history as irrelevant, music ed as studying only dead european guys...) Dclar032 (talk) 21:45, 1 February 2009 (UTC)dlcar032
