Why are you earning credit this way?
#19
My wife had twins in 2013. They are fantastic, but it has been very difficult for me to spend so much time at home. I have never been a person to sit still for very long and I go crazy if I can't think about issues or anything, really, at a high level. Travel was out as an option, obviously. I had to scale back on the community/union activities that I was big into. I needed something. I initially tried the San Jose State Java programming course when MOOC's first became big. That was just a couple of months after the twins arrived. I worked on that with the twins on my lap and at midnight when they went to sleep. I made it through about half and had to give up at that time.

Then, while negotiating a collective bargaining agreement for the teaching staff at my school, I researched PD options and wondered if there were free or cheap college credit options. I found this site and the wiki and decided that this was the way to go. It is really kind of incredible.
