Miles to go...

Well, it's hard to believe that we've come to the end of formal posts to our blogs.

Several of us taking the Learning and Teaching with Web 2.0 Tool class have been posting each week as we explored the various content. In this class we answered questions such as "What is the Read/Write web?" We explored blogs, finding and organizing information on the web, wikis, podcasting, videostreaming, and came up with strategies for student safety while using these emerging resources.

This week our goal is to come up with a plan on how we continue using this blog beyond today. Well...at this time I don't have any plan other than to continue to explore these online opportunities and look for ways they support the curriculum.

I firmly believe that all technology integration is not an end unto itself. In order to be most effective, any technology application has to be the right tool for the right project. At this moment, I'm not sure where any of this fits well. I have glimmers. I'm willing to take chances. But I know patience may be the best thing...as it is important with all good change.

I am also in disbelief that this clase has flew by so quickly. I like how you recapped what we have accomplished (or rather discussed) during the web 2.0 course.

With most of your ideas, I concur. I believe that we have only dipped our toes in the water when it comes to effectively integrating technology into the classroom and learning process. I believe in taking chances as well, and I think that patience should never equal inactivity.

Good luck and keep in touch!
