May 30,31- Monkey Survey - 3 hours and still did not manage to link it on my own to Ellie's wikispace.
June 1, Wikispace - 1 hour - just to see what was awaiting my actual hands-on activity with this tool. In fact, I just created nonsense because I had no ideas, no purpose, no audience. Then after a long walk, I decided to imagine my new summer students. Then I was able to formulate some kind of order.
June 2, Wiki's and Blogs -4 hours - The Wiki seemed time-consuming and I wasn't satisfied with the results. I had to "PDF" some files and find ways to link them to my wikispace. Erin O'Brien from UMB was extremely helpful in that she showed me what she had done and within the open space area I worked in, more and more people were assembling in and out. Brittanie was also around and it became a community of teachers working on our wikispaces while discussing pedagogy, responding to student papers, collaborating and fruitful discussions vs. boring, senseless faculty meetings. In fact, we were not only learning to use wikis but brainstorming on incredible ideas to improve faculty learning, social community, sharing syllabi and curricula...and so much more.
As I am keeping a record of my hours through this blog, I am wondering if there is a type of calendar where I can chart this more techie like.

Google has a calendar. Outlook has a calendar (which I use for appointments and reminders, but which could be a log).
