Week 4

Weekly Post

Well, Week 4 now almost in the past. I have learned a lot. I love the blogs and my favorite is Wikis. I really am getting in to this technology. I have started development of a Wiki for Blackboard Support... I think it is going to be a hit! (Remember I said "I think"!) I really am looking forward to working more with Ning.

Bring week 5 on... This class has been so much fun!

Week 3 ...

What more to say this week but week 3. I always think week 3 is the hardest in class. You are almost done but still have some major tasks at your feet.

What did I learn this week?
Well, it has really been brought to my sight the issues with facebook and privacy. I think that as educators we do not have much privacy. Is this good or bad... I think both. Educators are I think are held at a higher standard and must meet those standards.

Ning... What more do I have to say... I am not a big fan... maybe it needs to grow on me. For education I don't see much use. I may try to use it in my Intro to computer class and see how the exercise works out.

Well looking forward to week 4!

Week 2 What did I learn at Ashford University!

What did I learn in Week 2 at Ashford University in class EDU 651?

Hello and Welcome to my blog,

This is my first blog for this class. I wanted to try something different and deliver my content to you via a video. In my career I am not a expert in video I just like technology and have the technology on hand! Oh yes I LOVE my FLIP camera...I am not sure what I would do with out it!

My Outline of the video:

  • Welcome
  • Social Networking with Blogs and Wikis can come together
  • What Wikis can be used for
  • Knowledge Construction
  • Critical Thinking
  • Contextual Applications

Well I hope you enjoy my video and blog. Now that I have figured this process out it is not that bad!

Have a great week

April
