Module 1 and 2

Week 1 and sitting on easy street!


Hi all!




My name is Amanda and I am a teacher at Casimir Catholic College.

I just began the web2.0 online course today and after a few teething problems (namely with the CEO website) I am really loving this course!

Firstly, I had no idea that iGoogle could have a log in account and that I could personalise it. I have added some applications that I would personally like to use (ie birthday, email, bejeweled) and some applications for school such as the weather, time and news feeds.

All the programs have been user friendly so far so I am hoping it will continue. The only issue I have is trying to comprehend the number of free online applications that you can use under the heading of web2.0. I have never heard of 85% of them. So I am hoping that this course will show me some useful ones for school.

This online blog also seems to have some advantages. Firstlt I can already see that it aids people in placing their initial thoughts on a topic on the web. I am aslo helping that it will be one of those tools that aids critical thinking through encouraging students to discuss ideas.

Anyway, am definitely enjoying the first week.

Have a great night!
