Since I really need to get my income tax stuff together and finish my recipe scrapbook that I started prior to taking this class, I am somewhat glad this is the last thing to do. However, if I didn’t have those two things looming, I would rather continue to learn more about Web 2.0. I’ve really enjoyed the class and can say I’ve learned so much. It was worth every bit of the $75.00!
This class opened my eyes to current technology. You know, it’s easy to think that you’re fairly “up” on new technology: try to read techy magazines, work with techy people, enjoy trying new applications…in other words definitely not a tecno-phobe…UNTIL you’re exposed to something like this class and you’re suddenly put in your place…like me! I’m not so naive to believe that there wasn’t much more I needed to know to be effective as a media specialist, but at the same time, I obviously missed the Web 2.0 boat! Maybe I was knee-deep in Infinite Campus or just having a good time doing other things.
Now I want to pass the info. along. I’d like to teach my own Web 2.0 class adapting it as you all have done to come up with the class we just finished. After searching the web a bit more, I’ve discovered there are many Web 2.0 or Learning 2.0 courses out there and all I’ve seen are open to others using them making whatever adaptions necessary for their needs. I would even like to do this in Moodle. This would be yet another new experience for me…one I think I need as teachers might and probably will eventually utilize Moodle for online discussions, etc. This is one of my goals.
Thanks to all. It’s been a great experience for me. Oh, and I hope ETTC doesn’t get cut (as I’ve heard) because there are other classes I’d like to take. It’d be such a shame. You’re a wonderful resource!!!
