=Welcome to my wiki!=

Now that we are starting EDLD 5342, I have invited all the members of our cohort here so we can plot and plan out strategy for group work. If you found your way here, Hooray! Let's knock this out! Please leave a message because I need some help with this wiki group idea and how it works. Glad to be working with you!

Not quite sure how this comment thing works, but here it is. This should be interesting. Bryan Clemmons

I saw some other members of our cohort had wikis and I didn't want to be left behind! Not sure if I am doing this right, but hey, I'm here! Thanks for visiting. I will goof around with it and get more proficient soon.

My goodness! I just had a real scare when I uploaded a picture of myself and the file was so huge, it completely obliterated the entire page. It took some navigation to find the "Reset to Default" button. I knew it was somewhere, but I really had to look for it since my picture was in several parts all over the page. I really like the format and color change I did, though. It makes me feel more comfortable here. I do think I will play around and find the right size logo before I try that again!

The video tutorials are definitely the way to go here. They are very clear and easy to understand. It is a good thing they are easy to bring up again, though, because I am finding that I need to refer to them at least twice to absorb how to do things. I am laughing at myself as well because I have been using an iPad a lot lately and it self-corrects spelling, etc., but that is not the case here. It is a much more simplified program so it is necessary to do a lot of proof-reading and go back and insert spaces and correct spelling or typos.

I have heard of students uploading assignments to wikis and using them to organize assignments sort of like an electronic filing cabinet. I'm not sure how I will utilize this, but it will be interesting to learn how to do it. I have considered myself pretty techno saavy, especially since I have a master's degree in computer applications, but I received that degree in 1994! I have kept up with many things, but the speed in which new things have developed is very fast and if you are not looking at new innovations in technology all the time, it is extremely easy to fall behind. Silly me, I've been doing things like discipline, writing curriculum and supersing teacher teams for the last few years. Technology has been squeezed it when I can; however, when one embarks on a program like this one, one of the advantages is we are pushed to do new things beyond our comfort zone. I think it is great to stretch!

Jody, you are doing an awesome job in the "wiki world"! Keep up the good job. This EDLD 5342 course will be a great learning experience and collaboration for all of you. Brenda Avance EDLD 5342 SU3003 Cohort 5 Wiki 5
