A little confused

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the correct place.  I know this is the blog site, but I'm not seeing many other posts either... Anyone else sort of lost?

Technology

This is my first time using a blog.  I think that this class is goingto open my eyes to many new things.

Lets see if this works...

Confused on when blogging

I guess where I am struggling on learning how to blog or reply to other blogs.  And then finding your reply and making sure others can see it?

Blogs, Wikis and Podcasts

The book is very informative especially with the statistics conerning the growth of internet use and how these items can be used in classroom or for personal use.

Absolute Learning Experience

This class had totally introduced me to things I have never done before!  I have to say I do not love technology...it totally takes me out of my comfort zone!  With that being said, I know it is the way of the future, so I might as well get on board.  I have learned a great deal in this very short class...and take with me a better understanding of its capabilities.

Online Open Book Tests

I wish I would have read the book for this class and then took the tests first before trying to work on anything else. This book helped me with all my assignments and it really explained a lot. The tests were technical and I wasn’t used to that in an online course but it was good because you have to actually pay attention to what you were reading. No skimming the chapters for the answers you had to really focus to get the correct answers. I really liked that about this class. If you are taking a class you should get the most out of it and I feel  like I did! 

Web Blog

I am so glad I had to create a web blog for this class! I am not a teacher but I am the advisor for an Upward Bound program that is not being funded for the next five years. This is an excellent way for my students to still keep up with me and to still get some of the resources they are used to me bringing to there schools. I set my web blog up and actually had fun while designing it. I had to refer back to the book a few times for some hints but I think for my first time blogging it has been a success! I can't wait to give my students the url to my blog. Also I am glad to see teachers using technology as a way to reach out to students. I know this isn't the same for them but it's still something... and it's something pretty cool actually!

Technology

I am really enjoying the book for this class. That may seem nerdy but before taking this class I stuck to my usual daily websites (twiter, facebook, etc). While reading this book I find myself "googling" certain technological words or sites I have never heard of. I am realizing fast that just because I think I am up to date with technology doesn't mean that I really am. I am anxious to keep reading and discover new things about blogs, wikis, and podcasts!

I think I did it!
