This week is Week 2 in Collaboration and Learning in a Virtual Environment, and was similar to last week for me because I continued to learn about Wikis. Before reading about them in school, all I knew about was Wikipedia. Now I have come up with several ideas on how to use Wikis in a classroom and for staff development. I have even created my own wiki! That's right! But....I'm not sharing till it is actually done! So tune in Week 4 and then you can check it out.
We also learned about Blogger....Yes you heard me. Obviously I already knew about Blogger, as you can tell! But it is a great opportunity for many people who haven't. I think Blogger is a great tool that can be used in a classroom, and by being forced to sign up though class, you learn that something is not as scary and is much easier to use than you ever imagined! I'm hoping that many of the students also take the opportunity to sign up for Twitter! I again, already have a Twitter account! Don't worry, I AM learning a lot, even though I had an easy week :) Join me on Week 3, to see what else we are up to.
