Ramblings et al

I really feel like I have an amazing amount to learn. I checked out all of the stuff on Classroom 2.0 and found that I kept getting lost in the depths of information. Unbelievable how much there is to learn and how easy it is to access. I signed up for both Classroom 2.0 and Ning in Education and hope to have time to fiddle around with each. I also noticed that several of my colleagues are new members and plan to contact them as “friends” A.S.A.P. – maybe there is some psychological strength in numbers. I need all the support I can get with wading through some of this information.

I found that both Ning and Classroom 2.0 were very user friendly and loaded with stuff to browse. I perused a discussion about Smartboards which have in my classroom and have never used. So, hopefully I will able to find some great ideas for using the thing. I also looked at who and what other users where a part of and found a wealth topics that interested me. I must give kudos to Stephanie Bullock for her acumen in the use of technology. Her profile on Ning lead me to Global Green Schools which is a big issue for me. Scary that a person is just a building over and you never really know how many small things you have in common. This is great way to keep up with people of similar interests over great distances and small.

This is beginning to feel a little rambling, so I should walk away from the computer for a while. But suffice it to say that this was another interesting web tool that I had no idea existed and will continue learn about and from. AMAZING!
