The creation of the new blog...

This is not the first blog I have created. Previously, I created blogs for the public library. I made an online book study for Elisa Carbone's book, Blood on the River. I typed up some discussion questions and invited others to discuss them through the blog. The only response we got during the summer was in Italian. It was relevant but it was in Italian. But it could have worked in a classroom setting with a class.
Also I set up a blog for the parenting classes at the library to inform parents about upcoming programs. This was much more sucessful but I had to keep it up. It's easy to forget about a blog so that it "rusts" in cyberspace.
This blog is the quick and easy version. But I haven't had any followers before. And there are new gadgets to play with...Let see what happens!

First Visit of Learning 2.0: Way back before Thanksgiving...

On November 17th, we started the process of Learning 2.0 with a horrible powerpoint I had made. Actually, it was a great, stupendous powerpoint with embedded links and Senteo clicker questions but I, unfortunately, didn't use that version on the computer but the previous unedited version with random flashes of light. No way could anyone read any of it. Bother... But I was able to get online and hear the podcast and read what we will be doing as did the rest of the class before Don Toms pulled me away to fix a Moviemaker presentation (with Emily's help!). So far so good!
