I am so excited to get started with the Pierce Learning 2.0 program!
My outcomes for this program are:
- Learn about technologies you've heard of or used briefly.
- Use and play with these technologies for yourself.
- Participate in this cohort to share ideas and insights.
- Consider the application of these technologies to the educational environment.
- Have FUN!
Are you ready?

Gee, I think I just made a blog comment. I'm just trying to gain knowledge of what most of my students already understand.
I'm hoping to learn even more about tools that I already use, and to learn about some new tools that might come in handy for my work as an online instructor and as a librarian.
I would like to learn some fun tools that I can use in my online classrooms. I know that students use this stuff all the time and that they spend hours blogging or using other tools. I hope that they will use some of that time in my class...doing the exact same thing!
I'm also taking my first online class, so lots of new computer learning early in the new year.
You know, I actually have done several blog postings before; I just didn't know it was called a blog!!! Just shows my proficient computer literacy :-) What's even funnier is that my family even has a blog of their own on blogspot. My kids, of course, are the ones who work with it and designed it. Maybe I'll be able to maintain it myself soon...
I have never blogged before so I am excited to learn - my students mention it frequently so it's time for me to 'get with it'!.
Speaking of Google search engine, didn't I just hear that the makers of Wikipedia are going to launch a new search engine?
I haven't heard of Wikipedia creating a search engine but Google recently launched their take on Wikipedia with "Knols" (or Knowls - knowledge) and an attempt to address authority in ways Wikipedia doesn't. We'll see!
So am I supposed to come up with a cool blogger name? Isn't that what Leon was complaining about in our last meeting--students with emails that give no sense of their identity?
I guess anonymity does give a certain amount of freedom to be as frank and forthright as you want to be--which is good, I guess.
