CMS, Discussions, and Wiki

I finally figured out the Moodle CMS assignment. I sure hope I did it correctly. I have worked on the Wiki throughout the semester. I was going to work on it some more this week but I'm feeling overwhelmed by all the people who are slamming tons of info. I feel at a loss of what to add or take away. I'm really sad that I was unable to access and participate in the second life discussion. I have been going back and forth every night with college homework and progress reports for work. I guess I was actually trying to access KSU Island on the wrong night. I don't know if that was the problem. Now I'm trying to hammer through the rest of the discussions and not having much luck. I feel like I don't know enough about the topics. I'm not sure how to go about figuring it out either. I do not care for Twitter. I did enjoy blogging and reading other classmates blogs. I have learned some interesting things in this class. I just wish we had more time to really dig in and learn things more thoroughly. The projects just go by too fast and their is so many.

Discussion Facilitation

Well everyone definitely had a strong opinion one way or the other. I was actually surprised at the people who are into technology who did not feel comfortable with video projects. I felt people had some excellent guidelines for supervising a project of that nature. It was good getting some insight on the different perspectives and the different situations in the different schools.

Wiki CMS and Discussion Facilitation

Well I need to continue working on the CMS, I have at least started, I have a plan of what I'm going to work on on the wiki. I need to review the Video as an alternative discussion and summarize so I can blog about it. Plugging along!

Course Management System

I really don't understand this assignment. I guess I will read everything again and go through a demo site again. I just wish we could see what a previous class did to get a better understanding. I read the categories we are suppose to put on here but don't know how to get started. Maybe I'll grasp it the second time around.

Website and Podcast

Well I finished my website and submitted it. I am having some difficulty submitting my podcast. I tried to send it to the server through Fetch but it is attaching it to another file so the URL wont open up on the web browser. I might have to submit as an attachment. I don't know how to move files around in fetch. The files pop back into alphabetical order when you try to move them. Now I have to tackle the Wiki again. I find it very intimidating with all you smart people in my class that are just plastering information all over it. Gee I wander if this is how our students feel. A little bit of sense of competition. For those of you who are wandering why I'm submitting assignments early. You could call it Dance or Die. I'm on spring break at work and so I'm putting the hammer down this week because balancing work and school and life in general is exhausting.

Podcasts again

Well I'm at a loss what to do with this project. Would I be allowed to do a story? The students I work with have severe disabilities. My students don't talk, have visual impairments etc... I was wandering how I could justify my podcast, but now that I think about it, an audible teaching with my students would be justifiable because we do stories on tape all the time since they can't see or read.

Discussion Facilitation

Well I think are next discussion on Second life is going to be interesting. I downloaded Second life and explored around on help Island a little. I t looks interesting. I will need to explore some more because some of the commands I could not figure out since I have a mac. Maybe I just don't have my wireless mouse set up right. The Wimba discussion went really fast some people are speed demons on their typing and I was having a hard time keeping up with the conversation.
