26/07/2010
We are asked to teach online because we need money and the University of Phoenix has a corner on that market here. I might be better at teaching online than some people just because of my blogging and web design experience, and my interests in media. However, there are serious reasons not to volunteer. Some … More We Are Asked to Teach Online
On Class

Erich Fromm on Human Needs

Grupos de palomas
15/07/2010
A la Sra. Lupe Medina de Ortega 1 Los grupos de palomas, notas, claves, silencios, alteraciones, modifican el ritmo de la loma.
