This week we discussed our experiences at the Web 2.0 Expo. While Jing was the highlight of my visit, I was excited to learn about Octopz. I've collaborating with other Flash students and the instructor using email and chat to troubleshoot issues with our projects when not in class. How great would it be if we could use this application to further enhance our collaboration? Thanks Gigi!
We also had a course wrap-up. I can hardly believe the semester is almost over?! Just think 12 short weeks ago we were just beginning adventure into Web 2.0! And now we're all "experts" on innovative technology. As Kim mentioned, it is up to us, as Instructional Technologists, to figure out how we will use these tools to enable meaningful, collaborative, educational experiences.
I remember when I first started my career in IT, I always said I sat at the corner of business and technology. I solved business issues with technology enablers. Well now the same could be said with my newly acquired knowledge in web 2.0. It's exciting really.
With 2 weeks to go...we still have to finish the proposal and get the ITEC social networking site working. So back to the laptop I go!
