On to the final project.

Ok, so I've reviewed my accounts in Twitter and Google Reader (for my RSS feeds), and now it's on to our final project. I'll work on the Voice Thread first, so my collaborators don't think I'm shirking my duties. Just a word on our wiki's name (webspinners629 - thanks, Kerri!) - I loved it from the start but some days it's all the more appropriate 'cause my head literally spins from all this new-found knowledge!

A PLN for the "Information Encumbered"

I've been going over our class wiki in preparation for completing the final project. It's so chock full of information - I'm trying not to get overwhelmed! Anyway, I took the self-quiz from the Pew Research Group and was not surprised to be labeled "information encumbered," even though some of my answers were more technology-forward than they would have been a couple of weeks ago. Day 2, in particular, was loaded with information. I never added my Delicious tags to my wiki, so I'll attempt that now. Let's see how it goes. Then I'll revisit my Twitter account and RSS feeds. I know this is all going to help by channeling information to me so I'll keep trying not to stress my inexperience...

Today's lessons.

I have to admit I'm feeling a little bit like Dorothy right now - Twitter and Wikis and Nings, OH MY! (And she thought she had it bad with the lions and tigers and bears...) I guess because I'm more familiar with Google, all those "tricks" we learned about this morning didn't seem quite as intimidating as this afternoon's tools. The more I'm learning, the more I realize I have yet to learn. I just have to have the same attitude towards all this technology as the kids do, and embrace it. I can't wait to be able to use it all in a library!
