Web 2.0 for Educators
I walked into this class thinking I was pretty computer literate. I thought I was somewhat with the times and quick with this sort of stuff. Then Jen blew me away with a whole world that I knew absolutely NOTHING about! I love computers and figuring things out as I explore them so thank you Jen for my new project!! There is so much for me to learn about blogging.
The video clip “Did you Know?” really opened my eyes to globalization and where we stand in comparison to the rest of the world. It’s kind of scary. I almost feel as if time is taking off without us and its so hard to catch up. We’re so advanced, yet other countries are so far ahead of us! I’m afraid that I won’t keep up with the fast pace shifting that’s occuring and won’t be as technology savvy as I’d like to think I am now.
The second video clip “Web 2.0 in under 5 minutes” I have to be honest, was overwhelming! I have watched it twice already and feel I definitely need to watch it again. As I learn more, I will pick up on more from the video. I’m still getting used to using our Web Educators blog as well as my own blog. I am looking forward to really getting into this and exploring what’s out there!

Hey Karen It ’tis a bit overwhelming isn’t it? There is a ton of useful technology tidbits we can use don’t you think?

Bravo!-
Excellent start Karen. This is a really good start for your first blog entry! That sinking feeling you had when you realized you knew nothing about this area of technology is something that I feel all the time! that is what had spurred me on to use my blog and to blog for learning. If you hang with it, you and your teaching will change in amazing ways. Blogging has given me the hunger to learn. What a beautiful thing!
