Module 2

OK, I've managed to create a Twitter account from home.  At the moment it's blocked at school.  After much deliberation I selected 5 people to follow, then had to find 5 more famous ones.  My account was immediately flooded with messages - I unfollowed these last famous 5!  Found the @ceosydweb2 group to follow also (is there a Melbourne version?).

I use Edmodo in the classroom and have been excited by the "Discover" function that it provides in suggesting sites and resources of interest.  I sense that Twitter may do this kind of thing at a frenetic pace so I'm both eager and aprehensive to see how I handle the flood of information!

Module 1

My first post for the Web 2.0 Online Course

After a slow start I've managed to get through Module 1.  The time commitment is a bit intimidating, but I've put the Web 2.0 course link front and centre on my browser toolbar, so I'm hoping seeing it will trigger me to jump on when I have a moment.

I am looking forward to learning more about the online environment - particularly to see what all the fuss about Twitter is about.

We created staff blogs at school a while ago, and I'm not even sure where mine is now.  I'm hoping this blog will be more active, however, looking over the huge list of teacher testimonial blogs I can see mine will be just another drop in the ocean.  I'll be keen to find out how to locate useful blogs...
