Week 5: Learning Outcomes

Whew! Week 5 has been a whirlwind!!

Last week, we created classes in Ning, Facebook, and PBWorks. This week, we had to invite all of our classmates to our classes and make comments on three of our classmates' work.

We also had to comment on an article http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2008-12-03-digital-brain_N.htm which asks, "Is technology rewiring our brains?" I believe it is.

We had to create a delicious.com account, which is a social bookmarking site, and invite our classmates into our network as well as join the network for this class. It's amazing the different interests we all have even though we are all in this program. I believe we will learn a lot from each other.

We had to write a letter to our boss, principle, or chairman proposing a social networking tool for use in our work environment. My letter coincided with the class I developed in PBWorks that was assigned in week 2.

Lastly, we had to analyze chapters 6 and 9 in our text about micro-blogging and what all this "stuff" means to the educational process. One more week! I'm in the home stretch!

I'll post again in week 6!! Bye for now.
