Yearbook 2001

Pat Thorburn
Social Science & ESL Teacher

Rolling Meadows High School, Rolling Meadows, IL

What I liked best about the CTER OnLine program:

'Seeing' the same people in so many of the classes. It made distant learning seem less distant.

How I managed to fit the coursework into my hectic life:

Giving up Saturdays during the school year, and getting behind in grading (and just passing back some papers ungraded)

CTER OnLine has impacted my professional career in the following ways:

Way too many people at school now think I'm some sort of computer guru and ask me anything and everything about their computer.

Have you had any major life changes you'd like to share? (marriages, births, new jobs, etc.)

My most memorable experience in the CTER OnLine program:

Being at an all-night school lock in to decorate for homecoming week, with kids all around me decorating the halls at 2:30 in the morning and me at my computer catching up on 3-weeks worth of CTER assignments.
