Unplugging for a few days.....

Hello all-

I have really enjoyed the past week with my technology. 

I have been LOVING Jing and using it to teach my UMD Seminar students about Moodle and ePortfolio.  I have also been using ePortfolio as a way to post assignments and for students to submit their work.  I'm going to solicit feedback next week and see how they like the tools, are they helpful, etc.

I am also working on developing a UMD Seminar pilot course for next fall in Moodle 2.0.  I am hoping to make this my primary development project for this class. 

It has been fun to keep up with y'all via Moodle and blogs.  I enjoy the conversations, discovery and growth.  I really feel that our relationships are continuing to develop through these media. 

As for now, the family and I are heading to Winona for a 4-day bluegrass and canoeing festival.  We'll be camping and enjoying the change of scenery.  I don't plan to do much, if anything online, so take care and have a great weekend!

Two-thumb post...

So I've been spending a lot of time playing with my new iPod! I really like the games. Facebook is great too. Super easy to leave quick notes for people on the go.

Last night I lay in bed and read the Orr article for Fongs class on the iPod. I had trouble viewing the PDF version so I googled it and found the text on a website.

Well, I'm almost done with my walk to work so I'm goin to pocket this hint now and enjoy the last few moments of this crisp autumn air.....

Try again...

I just attempted to post a lengthy reflection about my first experience with blogging from my iPod. Lesson learned: I need to occasionally copy my work or save a draft so when A photo upload fails I don't lose it all. Now If I can only figure out how to do that!........Okay, done! Now to try and upload a pic of Helen helping Matt and Xong after class. Enjoy! Okay, so apparently I can't upload an image? Instead, go to our Facebook group and see it there.....

Just starting out...

Here we go....This is my first blog entry on my new tech journey....part of my Ed.D. program coursework.  This may be my last entry from my laptop, as I need much more practice with my mobile device.  Have a great day and enjoy my nonsensical rambling!  More to come.....
