In the beginning..........

I have made a rudimentary blog once before but I had forgotten about it. In fact I reckon I've forgotten more than I have learned. I have used wikis too and signed up for some educational ones. With the wiki I used - technolote- it seemed like a collection of blogs on a common theme with an administrator whereas a blog is just a personal thing that others can add comments to.

I have had a go at moodle too but the trouble with these things is time and that the technology works when you want it to! I am hoping that this course means that what I am learning will stick more because I am learning by doing. This should help me to develop skills and ideas about how to use the Web 2.0 tools to actually teach. Its one thing to know about it and another to be able to actively use it. This is going to be especially important as the school moves more completely to an online learner managment system- Daymap.
