Thing 23 - The Journey Continues...

Web 2.o is changing the way we use to computer and internet. Instead of just being a one way medium, it now allows for sharing, trading, and colloborating with others from all over the world. There is just an INCREDABLE amount of information being shared out there.  Searching for new things. making comments, and posting comments can become almost addictive.

This journey has diffinately been interesting...The comment "you don't really know what your missing...." comes to mind when I think about this course. I had been hearing about his technology thing and didn't think I was that illieterate on the subject. Well I did not know just how much I didn't know until I took this class. It makes me think that if this is what my first Wed 2.o class is teaching what else don't I know. I like how I can actually keep up with and understand conversations now when people are talking about blogs, widgets, and wikis.

Since my services in the school are so specialized and the fact that I don't have a student computer or projector in my room I feel limited with what I can do with students. However I can see using some of the things I learned when collaborating or doing professional development with staff. I can also see myself using Google Doc to help when I have to proof read and edit graduate intern reports.

Personally I think I will use Delicious often. This is such an easy way to tag and organization in formation and to be able to access that information from any computer. I have to say that taking this course has encouraged me to take small steps into utilizing some of this new technology on Wed 2.0 in my classroom and during my personal life.

Even though I feel that I have learned a great deal, I definitely feel like I might need to take a look of the "Things" over again to increase my comfort level. Thank for offering this course. I have learned a lot (and plan on to continue learning more!)

Questions: Will you be e-mailing me before next week as to whether or not I have been successful at completing this course in order to earn the credit. That way it would allow me to add or complete anything that I might have missed. Thank you!
