1. Wikis, Blogs and Web Publishing by Beth Gidwani

4. The Original Blog The original blog was again a tool I was unfamiliar with and once again, was much simpler to use than I had expected. Currently, I am not teaching. Most of my experience is with early childhood. Reflecting on my last teaching experience, I think this would be best for teachers of young students to connect. My last job was in a large district with many elementary schools. Three times a year we would attend a grade level meeting. I really looked forward to these meetings, hearing others approach and successes with the same curriculum. For example, a first grade teacher blog where all grade level teachers from the same district could share what is working and reach out for answers would be tremendously helpful.

6. The Moodle Online Learning The moodle on line learning has great strengths. To begin, it is very user friendly. All tasks are well explained. I used others' examples to help me through topics I was unfamiliar with. It also forced me to work through obstacles and lessons because it is up to me to figure things out. With this said, I could have used more instruction. There is frustration in not knowing where to begin and being embarrassed to email a silly question. I had a terrible procrastination problem because every aspect of the class was so new to me. I could have used a "study hall" so to speak. I craved more guidance. I feel great that I completed the work! However, I would have liked to have more polish to my finished projects. I do look at this as one small step in my learning of technology and one giant step in my life learning. Thank you for the opportunity. I sincerely appreciate it.
