Week 1 - Post Prompt

What have been your prior experiences with Web 2.0 technologies? Do you consider yourself a leader or follower in this realm, or something else altogether? Why? Also, discuss what you hope to get out of this class.
Honestly, I don't know exactly what Web 2.0 technologies are. I guess I need to do this week's reading to find out. I guess blogs and wikis are part of Web 2.0 so I'll go with that assumption. I'm certainly not a leader but I have used both. I don't use Twitter but I am an occassional Facebooker. I am intrigued and I love to learn new stuff. My iPhone has loads of apps but many of them don't get much attention.

I hope to add Web 2.0 to my vocabulary and learn about technologies that I have heard about but not used. I want to find useful tools for school and work. I also want to consider the implications for teaching and learning.

  1. Well, you're off to a good start! You're officially a blogger now and I'm guessing you'll find several more useful tools before the class is over.

    I'm looking forward to reading about what you learn.
