Where do I begin. I have to say I am a little overwhelmed with all of this new information! I am not sure how to schedule the time to read the blogs, and participate in other blogs as well as keep my own blog. I am not sure about this Twitter.. but I will figure it out! I am really excited to read the books and learn more about how to bring in the wiki's and other web 2.0 items into my school. The issue I see is how to get things published to the "world" so to speak! In the preface of the Blog, Wiki book, it mentions how it is somewhat of a challenge to convince people to allow the kids to put their work out for everyone to see! I am going to keep working on it and hopefully things might change.
I feel like I am spinning around like a top.. excited.. but not knowing what to focus on first! This technology world we live in is changing so quickly and I am a technology teacher. I do not know nearly enough about all of the technology available to me! I did read a good thing on one of the educational blogs.. and it was to slow down and try to learn just one new thing a week!
I look forward to this class and working together with other people. I love to share!!! As long as everyone is a good "sharer" !! :) Enthusiasm is contagious!
If someone could share their organizational secrets with me, that would help me a lot! I want to learn a lot.. but right now! Who wants to be patient?

Kim, I know this is amazingly cool stuff. I'm afraid to say, I used blogger.com last year as a l/t sub and am just lucky no one in the know caught me. I just loved having input that was "fresh". Anyhow, I think the technology we are dealing with is awesome. Web 2.0 and beyond will obviously take up a great deal of our time as educators. I look forward to the adventure. Well I am told you are very organized. Hit the list has he posts it. That's what I'm doing. Just hitting the living syllabus in order, though I will admit I'm taking the Myths and Social behavior in Ed. and it is consuming a great deal more of my time at the moment. Take it one step at a time like you always do, you are always on the ball. When I am more on my game I will of course share with both of you,(there only being three of us) as much as I can. Keep movin on :) I was wondering if you always posted daily or if you were doing it for the course?
Hi Sherry - I am just blogging right now for this class. I have a few different blogs I started for other classes too.. and one for my 20th reunion! :) I am trying to see if it is something I can keep up with..
Hi there. I'm wondering why as technology educators we all seem to feel we have to work around someone to get something new to our students?
Time is the biggest hurdle for me. I think it's because I want to enjoy the moments when they happen (not that I do) so hiding my computer sometimes is best!
Think games Kim... that's a hint to torch.
