BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I, RICHENDA-jOY! Technology-PETERSEN am blogging.
Before you start taking pictures of your screen and selling them on Amazon.com, or better yet, a more seedily undiscovered spot as something with the pecuniary value of flying donkeys or Jesus-emblazaoned toast, let me preface that this mega-miracle is only possible under the saintly leadership of a district Web 2.0 Learning Tools guru and her web-course guide... and a large iced Dunkin Donuts coffee.
ACTIVITY #1- Watch a Voicethread.com presentation on 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners, leaving three comments on three separate pages by cellphone:
1. The most challenging part of this District 113 Web Learning 2.0 experience will be the trait of using technology to my own advantage. Considering I couldn't tell of megabyte of difference between the userface of hotmail and that of gmail, let alone remember my username or to check my school email daily over summer break, you may to do a FN+PRNT SCRN and save it to iCloud as fast as you can!
2.The easiest habits to profess lifelong learning will be improving my own toolbox and mentoring/teaching. It may just take LIFE- long, but when I do learn and something useful, I am excited enough to show the content-teachers with whom I have co-taught, or make up an activity to share with my own department... the blog may just become my way to review without the time to collaborate in person with my position change to AEP (Alternative Education Program).
3. In order to keep uploading and finish the course (my goal, in apprenticing the 1st habit of Begin with the end in mind) I will have to have more confidence in myself as a competent, effective learner. Though I struggle with every bit, neither my computer or I have overun our RAM yet!

You clearly have a great sense of humor. That will get you far in your Learning 2.0 adventure.
ReplyDeleteIf "you may to do a FN+PRNT SCRN and save it to iCloud as fast as you can" -certainly seems that you have more tech savyness than you think. Aslo, I wonder if the "forget to check" email is not a response to hanging out and enjoying a good walk with the offspring.
ReplyDeleteRichenda-
ReplyDeleteYou get creativity better than a lot, especially me. You will take the tech you learn further than you think. Use it as an extension of you...you aren't an extension of it.
