Course Reflection

Wow! I have made it to the end! I have found the course to be extremely interesting and enlightening. The big challenge has been fitting it into a busy life!
Reflecting on my Web2.0 journey I have discovered a whole new range of applications that I never knew existed. Having a variety of resources such as Flickr, podcasts, Scootle and Bubbl.us available to me means that I am able to engage the students in their learning.
It was an insight to me to find an educational use for YouTube, as I thought it was just for posting music videos or people doing peculiar things!
I love knowing that there are online communities of like-minded individuals out there to share resources and experiences.
I think that this course has shown me that we have to keep up to date to keep our students engaged and make our teaching relevant to these digital natives.We have to keep moving forward so that we don't get left behind.
I have seen Google docs, Bubbl.us and Glogster in use at our school and the students are so enthused about using them.
A blog that I commented on was http://fran67blog.blogspot.com
Thanks to all my colleagues doing Web2.0 for their support and great blogs.
