Class canceled!

How ironic! In my last entry, I wrote about the ice storm that hit Iowa and how it wasn't going to keep me from doing my school work. Well, I received an email last night that our face-to-face meeting which was scheduled for tomorrow is now canceled. Schools across Iowa canceled classes today due to the blizzard-like conditions. News reports tell me that some parts of Iowa may have received upwards of 20" of snow. Here in Cedar Rapids, the snow keeps blowing. While we may have only received two or three inches, the visibility caused by blowing snow continues to create lackluster road conditions. The red roads in the picture above indicate 'travel not advised'; pink means the road is 'completely covered'; orange 'mostly covered' and yellow 'partially covered.' I think Ann made the right move by canceling tomorrow's class. I was really looking forward to seeing everyone, but I would have dreaded the drive.
There you have it, class has officially been 'canceled' and arrangements must be made to somehow hand-in our digital stories (postal mail) and present our software reviews (video tape?!?) as well as review for our midterm exam (WebCT discussion). Flexibility is the name of the game here in the distance education world. Until next time....
