Finally the sun has set on my Web 2 journey!!!!! It has taken me some time to finish this amazing course - not because of interest but because of time constraints and my own personal technology journey.
From Module 1 through to today,
the fascinating world of
blogs,
glogs,
prezi,
flickr,
rss,
communities online
etc, etc, etc
has been a source of consternation but also inspiration!!
Our students are growing up in a world that is at their fingertips
and I never stop marvelling at creative technology
and the way it engages all those open to new challenges
assto take the plunge,
ask questions,
solve problems,
think outside the box,
and
communicate and share online!
It is not only our students who are 'growing up'
in this world.
We are growing with them!
So it is important to be immersed,
to try,
to explore,
to discover......
not just leave it to them and hope for the best!
Not everything works
or not everything is suitable!
But we need to be right there in the mix!
Marcel Proust wrote:
"We do not receive wisdom;
we must discover it for ourselves
after a journey
that no one can take for us"
I plan to constantly review and explore Web 2 tools
and other tecnological tools
in my classroom
to engage students
and to encourage them
in their own wisdom journey
and the
pursuit of deep knowledge!
Hi Suzi
ReplyDeleteI’ve enjoyed reading your blog. It has been more than 6 months since I last completed a module so your Blog was a good review of previous learning. When I initially logged into Scootle I was excited about the prospects, however, I soon found Scootle frustrating. I spent a considerable amount of time searching for appropriate content but I was disappointed with the amount of relevant information I located.
I thought your Marcel Proust quote couldn’t be more appropriate for me and this Web 2 course.
Good luck with your library blog!

ReplyDeleteHi Suzi,
ReplyDeleteI have greatly enjoyed reading your blog as it has allowed me to view tools from the Librarian's perspective. I have also taken a very very long ti me as you have, to wrap my head and often often fumbling hands around some of the applications. However, I have found many new and exciting uses for them since beginning the IPad trial with my year 5 students.
I wish you you never ending techno joy in the library!!!!!
Good luck techno friend
