Web 2.0: Personal Reflections

Throughout this course I have gotten the chance to engage, playtest, evaluate and reflect on a wide variety of Web 2.0 technologies that may be beneficial for my personal growth as an educator, mentor and technology advocate or may beneficial for my students to increase their engagement, deepen their learning, enable collaboration or promote their creativity.

As I continue to grow professionally and strive to improve my teaching, I will be continuously evaluating and updating my toolkit of Web 2.0 resources. While evaluating new technology can be time consuming, I believe the experience and guidance I've gained in the course will make it easier for me to screen, test and implement meaningful and enhancing technologies as our Web 2.0 resources continue to expand and new Web 3.0 and beyond resources become available.

Below is a snapshot of some of the Web 2.0 tools I evaluated during this course and ways I see myself using them going forward. This snapshot will certainly change as new technologies become available, and I'm sure this will be fun to look back on in a few years to see how far we've come!

Web 2.0: Continuing the Journey

I've always considered learning to be a lifelong journey. If I'm not learning, exploring, expanding my skillset, pushing my boundaries and trying new things, I'm not living my best life. In this vein, I will certainly be continuing my exploration of Web 2.0 (and 3.0) technology and beyond well past the completion of this course.  Conferences and Conventions: I love the education and networking that happens when energetic, knowledgeable, motivated people get together and idea-swap! When choosing conferences and conventions to attend, I look for ones in areas of interest or potential future interests and prioritize ones with hands-on, workshop-style events -- I feel like a learn the most from these and I get to see the teaching methods modeled more realistically than in a lecture-style conference.  My Network: One of the great things about loving my job is that I talk about it a lot. Weddings, class reunions, kids birthday parties, random people I run into in line a the coffe...

Online Learning: Course Management Systems

What is a Course Management System? According to the Vanderbilt Center for Teaching : A  course management system  (CMS) is a collection of software tools providing an online environment  for course interactions. A CMS typically includes a variety of online tools and environments, such as: An area for faculty posting of class materials such as course syllabus and handouts An area for student posting of papers and other assignments A gradebook where faculty can record grades and each student can view his or her grades An integrated email tool allowing participants to send announcement email messages to the entire class or to a subset of the entire class A chat tool allowing synchronous communication among class participants A threaded discussion board allowing asynchronous communication among participants So, how is this different from a Learning Management System? I'm still trying to figure that out, and there seems to be a lot of overlap in the definitions. Exploring CMS...

Online Learning: Wielding Wiki's

My First Wiki While I've made use of massive online wiki sites (like Wikipedia) before, I have never created my own wiki. This week I used PB Works to create an educational wiki and begin to populate it. While some parts of creating my first wiki were pretty simple, I found some downsides to using this tool as a form of educational intercourse and distributed learning platform, which I will discuss in further detail below. Getting Started with PB Works To kick off my first personal wiki page, I created an account with PB Works. This alone took several hours as there appears to be some sort of glitch in the registration process where I had to work my way through several help channels before I could get my email address confirmed. Once my account was created, then I created my first workspace. Here's what a blank, default educational account workspace looks like when you generate it: As you can see, some fields are populated with a bit of information to get you started, but overa...
