KarenM

My name is Karen Moore, I teach in the Learning Skills Department at Umpqua Community College. The ages in my classroom vary from teens to 60 years old. I have taught several classes here, currently I teach College Textbook Reading (face to face and online) and College Success. I am developing a Critical Reading Strategies class for next fall.

I am taking this class for two reasons. I want to use more technology in my classes to meet the needs of the Net Generation. I also want to learn some methods and tricks to teach the wide varieties of ages and abilities in my classes. Learning about wikis has added a new tool to the bag. I am already reaching my goals for this class.

It seems I never have any spare time because of all my interests. I love to hike and live close to all kinds of opportunity to do so. I enjoy gardening which keeps me busy most of the year. I make baskets and other fiber crafts so I also gather the raw materials to make them with. I don't have much time for games but I like to play card games.
