Week Zero-Great Discovery!

We had our first class meeting this morning, which was illuminating. Class started at 11 am, and I did not get off the computer doing work related to the course until 3:30. It is completely addictive.  I am so glad to have my fellow students around, be they Skype buddies, Moodle course chatters, or forum fiddlers.

I'd like to share a simple collaborative act that Ruth and I shared while continuing the Skype chat after class. We were trying to figure out just how you share a screen on Skype, and we began stumbling around and playing with the software. Didn't take long for us to figure out how to do that. And we were able to see immediately the amazing possibilities of the Skype screenshare. We were so happy! Such a thrill! Techno-geeks or something- who else would get it?

 I'd like to be able to transmit this knowledge to others. More importantly perhaps, I'd like to be able to transmit the joy of learning a new technology, and its applications, to others. This is the reason that I enrolled in this course (series of courses). That's my goal. And to see the possibilities unfolding week after week is really something I look forward to. Thank you all.
