Day 8: Information overload!!! To much good stuff at once!!! Economics, financing, video conferencing...

We began by re-examining the meaning of economics followed by an appreciation of an "Alternative Spring Break" for students and the community then a quick break. Next we differentiated Service Learning from Community Service. Odom and I spiced up the personal finance practices and resources section by delving into the cyclical/generational welfare lifestyle as an economic comfort zone for some. Dr. Shaffett redirected the conversation and wrapped up the discussion. Our first video conference with James Wilcox was enlightening in the subject of preventing elder investment fraud ad projecting a way to improve fraud protection for the elderly. Becky Smith returned to have a debrief session with us then evaluation and pre-lesson planning. Got a gang of resources for the kiddies, my former students might be jealous but they'll get over it since they're seniors this year, ain't even thinkin' bout me... Brother is hoongrey, must feed... lunch was catered and sandwiches were cool but we were basically cooped up in this cold room ALL day. Had to steal away like the slaves of yesteryear and get a good 6 minutes out in the sun shine. Man, Today is a lovely daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, a lovely daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day...
