Unrolling a map of the world, I would put one finger on a dot I had drawn to represent my village of Bayo, put another finger on London and say: "I was born there, and we are here now, and I'm going to tell you all about what happened in between.". Niska, at the same time, tells the story of her life, growing up in Northern Ont...

Sunday, March 30, 2008. Social Networks are one of the Web 2.0 tools I actually knew a little about at the start of this course- Why, you wonder? More of a teen thing? Must be maintained at all times. The kids always know where everyone else is, and they are highly skilled in organizational planning. My teens can plan all kinds of activities through Facebook- ranging from social gatherings to carpools for soccer. I think they prefer to plan on Facebook- more efficient use of energy! My kids, part of the ...

Sunday, April 13, 2008. Thank you Jenn, for the invitation to write a heartfelt reflection. That is about the only kind I know how to write. I've been gone from the academic world for such a long time that my formal writing muscle is pretty lax. There have been some real lows in my experience. Mostly related to my anxiety about doing it. First, the low points. I found it very frustrating to spend so much time looking for things- -again, when I asked for direction it was offered freely. I spent a lot ...

Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Actually using the technology. Just a short note and a chortle. My assignment was to actually USE. Photobucket or another photo sharing site, so early this morning my trusty mac and I gave it a go. Dead easy, which is of course the point. I can now understand through experience. Just how easy it is to begin. I know it will be fun to continue playing and learning. On photobucket. This learning carries with it the bonus insight that unless I MAKE. Sunday, January 27, 2008.

Sunday, April 13, 2008. Blogs for Professional Development. Blog Posting # 10. After much thought and deliberation on which of the fascinating Web 2.0 tools would be most beneficial to introduce to my staff I have chosen the first and last one that this class introduced me too-Blogs! Responded that they allow students and teachers to “. record, manage and reflect on major research projects. These make the chaotic process more transparent and more interactive.

Jean's Blog: Social Networking Sites
http://jcloke.blogspot.com/2008/03/social-networking-sites.html
Sunday, March 30, 2008. Blog Posting #8- Social Networking Sites. Before I rant on and on about the uses of Social Networking Sites let me define them in the way that I understand them. This is the best definition I found for all that these sites entail. The possibilities of these sites are endless, but I have narrowed them down to…building electronic communities for people who share common interests and activities, or want to share in those of others. Are they beneficial in the classroom? We don't have ...

Jess explores web 2.0: Metablogging
http://weelittlejess.blogspot.com/2008/04/metablogging.html
Saturday, April 5, 2008. I have been dreading this week's topic. At the beginning of this course, I professed my disdain for blogging. But, I'll admit, some of that disdain was a result of ignorance, so I committed myself to giving the process, and the products of others, a fair shake. As each week has gone by, I have grown more and more appreciative of the process, that is, learning. Blogs hasn't changed much. Does catch her attention) and it's hard to cook supper while watching videos on Youtube! While...

Sunday, April 6, 2008. TodayI went for a blog! What can I say? I am so used to blogging now it seems that is has become a habit more than a conscious. Effort. i do enjoy it and have created a personal blog that I am not yet confident. Blogging uses in the classroom;.

Maybe for those that don't have close relationships with parents/teachers/peers blogs would offer a way to have a virtual conversation....
