Week 3 -Writing and Technology
This week was very productive in that I learned to work more comfortably with my DSP wiki and posted videos and links to my blog and wiki on our class wiki.
I viewed and responded to Carol, Lisa, Mike, Matt and Brittanie regarding their blogs, wikis, and/or postings on our class wikis.
I viewed an Australian teacher's use of blog/wiki in his classroom and heard some positive and negative remarks from native and non-native speakers of English regarding their use of blogs/wikis.
I viewed a student's creativity in composing a hypertext. I found this confusing and don't know what to do with this information.
I also learned about edit/tracking devices better and to apply them more effectively.
The Healey Library meeting was refreshing and enjoyable to be working with real people at a real place. I guess it will take time to adjust to a virtual world as time, patience, and desire must come to play in any new discourse and community we enter. I know my students will benefit from the amount of time and frustration I have endured to effectively make this new discourse my own so I can be a better teacher.
