The whole thought of taking an online class initially scared me a little. Once I got start things seem to become easier or I just got used to working through things when they didn't work the first time. It seems I had to learn to become a student again.
What I enjoyed the most about this experience has been blogging and my reader. I am able to get the information that I am most interested in at my finger tips instead of going to all their websites and then share my thought or knowledge about any subject. I plan to continue using my reader. Adding those things of interest and deleting those that seem to clog up my reader.
I think the wiki page may have been one of the most challenging thing. I think I read to many of my colleagues blogs about creating a sandbox. It was difficult but not as much so as I thought it was going to end up. I guess I was up for the challenge.
I began this school year using YouTube in my classroom so I was becoming more comfortable adding some technology in my classroom. I thought I was ahead of the curve.But once I learned how to use some of the generator my students were impressed and want to know how to use them to create on their own. I'm really excited to share with them what I have learned. What concerns me is that some of the generator are blocked by the district. I understand sites have to be filtered..... I just wish we were able to share more of what we have learned with our students.
I plan to move on to twitter and find out what it's all about. Maybe you should add thing 24......I'd do it! I really hope you offer another continuing class but if not I hooked...... I'm sure I'll continue to explore on my own.
