Wordle

The focus of the training sessions I have been attending is technology.
Mainly technology as a tool for teaching adult learners, but I'm not an instructor, so my views and needs are a little different than the other students. Last week our class was introduced to a site called "Wordle". You input words in a dialogue box, and it creates a "cloud" with the words scattered about. It can be a fun tool to preserve ideas from a brainstorming session, or list the names of the students in a particular class, perhaps. I decided to use my wordle to create a short definition of what technology can be to the people who use it.

Things to come....

My experience with blogging....so far....

I have to confess, I haven't spent as much time tending to my blog as I should have. I'm still struggling with the issue of remaining anonymous. I have realized, however, that if I think of my blog as a professional tool, rather than a private one, it is easier for me to be able to "put more of myself out there". I'm making progress, I think. Once again, only time will tell.

Trying something new......

I'm a pretty private person, so I pretty much stay as anonymous as possible when surfing the net. Ironic, considering how fascinating I find technology! Anyway, my boss decided that it would be a good idea for a group of us at our Adult Literacy program to learn some new things, and setting up a blog was one of them. Sooooooooooo.......... Here I am... We'll see how it goes....
