Michael Marassa 7th Grade Language Arts Teacher Edison Middle School, Champaign, IL
What I liked best about the CTER OnLine program:	Ability to still spend time with my family and to continue as a volleyball coach without the hassle of night classes. I could work at 5 in the morning or 9 at night once the kids were in bed.
How I managed to fit the coursework into my hectic life:	Very hectic for me. There will really only very specific windows of time, and my schedule became such that TV and the newspaper were nonexistant at times.
CTER OnLine has impacted my professional career in the following ways:	Aided me in incorporating technology into instructional lessons; broadened opportunities to work as a technology collaborator with other teachers.
Have you had any major life changes you'd like to share? (marriages, births, new jobs, etc.)	Birth of second daughter Abigail February 7th, 2001
My most memorable experience in the CTER OnLine program:	Comments that other and myself would make using the whisper function in Webboard
