Module 2

How good are Blogs?!

I've been using our school-based version hosted locally for quite some time as a means of submission of student work.  This enables me to centralise my access to the boys' efforts without junking up my lovely fresh and neat looking wiki with a whole heap of their posts - they simply link their name to their blog entry on the task and I can follow this up later.  They also have the ability then to read and learn from each others efforts, and the odd interesting conversation has arisen (odd being the operative word) in these interchanges.

My kids are bloggers for their family, and I am on board with the potential they have for me professionally and personally.

The ease of use and the potential for quality content and interactions, particularly with multi-media overtones, is cool!

Module 1

OK, so I was already a user of iGoogle, but I am now the proud carer of two hungry little turtles, who are also (I think, haven't checked yet?) shared with my brother.  Not so sure that he'll be as rapt as I, but still....

Plus there's a couple of other gadgets that are good distractions, and the genuinely useful tool that shows my Gmail account front and centre: this will be a timesaver, I think.

The web 2.0 videos are interesting  - might find some use for them as demos.

Does this mean I've completed Module 1?  That would be nice :)

10.9.10

No wait!  There's more :)

I really need to read the instructions before launching into things - personality flaw...

Module 0

Here we are gang!  Off into the world of web 2 blogging...
