Hello
My name is Lexie Tom. I am currently a student in the Indigenous Studies Ph.D. program at UAF. I am taking classes from Bellingham WA. I am the Department Chair for the Native Studies program at Northwest Indian College and we are making a transition to offer more of our courses online. So I thought this class would benefit the program I administer. I am new to WordPress, Twitter, and diigo but I can learn fairly quick. I will be editing each site in the next few days. I am looking forward to getting to know the new technology and all of you this semester.
My worldpress site is: ljtom.com
Twitter: LjtomTom
Diigo: Ljtom83
Greetings Lexie,
Welcome! Neat that you’re joining us from “outside” Alaska. My sister lives in Bellingham – well, on Lummi Island, actually. I was just there visiting a couple of times this August as my daughter just started attending UW.
Your decision to offer more courses online is landmark, I’m sure. In fact, bringing programs online is an endeavor of great interest to me, so I’m glad you’re here. I look forward to your perspectives in our conversations ahead.
