Finish Line

Wow! Who would have thought it at the beginning that I would be sitting here confidently blogging for the last time - or is it??? Thanks Dione for the great course. I really did enjoy learning a bit more about what's out there and while it's a bit daunting to know that it is changing by the minute, it's not rocket science and with a bit of time for exploration I can gain greater understanding. I loved having the weekly tasks. It was very difficult in the beginning to manage my time with little access to the computer. Going wireless, and reclaiming my laptop from the family made all the difference. I also liked the weekly emails with extra websites to check out. They gave me a greater understanding of the set tasks.

Thanks to all the participants. I loved reading your blogs and learnt just as much from you, (or quite possibly more)  from your insightful reflections than just doing the set tasks. Thanks also everyone for the great sites you put me onto. I have bookmarked, on Delicious of course, (but may move to Diigo) many of these for future reference. I especially liked the 34 Interesting Ways to use Google Docs in the Classroom (sorry can't remember who's blog it was on).

I undertook this course as I have been out of the classroom for 5yrs bringing up 3 small children. Whilst I would never consider myself a technology guru, I now feel confident that I could enter a classroom and know what some of these web.2 tools are and how to apply them. So in terms of the success of the course, for me it was highly successful. I fully intend to spend a bit more time checking out the Web 2.0 tool Directory. Good luck everyone with future blogging and/or application of web 2.0 tools. Thanks again Dione
