Web 2.0

Module 1:

I admit after my first post, I was reluctant to continue reporting as I didn't see its value for myself or other potential readers. I also thought that since I am only an aide where hours are dependent on funding, my applications are limited. True! But.. this very limiting condition of employment of not enough hours to help not enough students is shared by all active teachers. And, perhaps if I continue to learn this area of technology, some very useful tools may enhance my ability to assist students. Indeed, these young, keen, innovative teachers who seem to have this technology mastered still need support in some very challenging classes. Particularly in assisting some less able students in a class room setting.

So here we are. As I think I said, this experience is very daunting but working with a group of colleagues with an able leader, we should indeed manage with minimum heartburn. Looking at other peoples' blogs is interesting, I can't think of a personal use at this point, apart from documenting my progress through Web 2.0. We created an i google account and I am starting to see that the inevitable number of accounts some colleagues are mentioning will take some managing. However, its the door to progress I guess.
