Blogwatching and Web 2.0 tools

Well I have been checking out everyone's blogs and people seem to be in good shape so far with their projects. I have left comments on each one. Also, has anyone used twitter (www.twitter.com)? It probably won't work for younger grades, but perhaps college or high school? I also just came across JigZone (www.jigzone.com), which could be useful for any grade.

Shared blogs

I have shared all the blogs with each other using NetVibes. Now we can see what everyone is doing and provide encouragement to each other as we complete our Final Projects. Feel free to comment here as well! By the way, the pic is of my best friend and myself in a recording session. We are in progress on a new cd, which should be ready early next year.

IDT 516 Fall 2008 projects starting

Well it's that time of the semester when IDT 516 begins working on their Final Projects. I look forward to seeing what everyone will be doing and reading about their progress in these blogs.

IDT 516 Final Projects - update

Well, most of our Spring 2008 IDT 516 group is getting to the end of their Final Projects. So far, I have seen quite a few interesting things through your blog posts. I look forward to seeing the projects themselves.

Fun with Technology

Well this last week was certainly very busy for all of us in IDT 516. Module 4 is filled with many new things: blogs, NetVibes, and more. Of course that means technical challenges as well. I think people in the class have shown their ability to try to work through these issues with an open mind. I think that most of them have been resolved, but you never know when something will come up.

In the meantime, I am also getting ready for a trip to New York City for the International Society for Performance Improvement conference. I am giving a presentation on using wikis on April 8.

Spring 2008 Blogs coming online

Well we are about ready to see some new blogs for this semester. I am looking forward to seeing what everyone does for the class.

Fall 2007 semester wrapping up

Well I am almost finished grading for this class. I think there have been quite a few wonderful projects. I enjoyed working with everyone. I hope you have a great holiday and perhaps will see you in another class soon.
