Is a little nostalgia appropriate?
I've been visiting several blogs and starting to feel a little sad about the course drawing to an end.
while I am as tired as the next person with the usual end of course crunch, I will miss the interaction and Dr. D's "tool of the week" roll-out.
Like so many have commented in their blogs, I have come unbelievably far over the last 12 weeks. I no longer feel like "technically impaired" as my family fondly daubed me prior to this class. In all honesty, I don't know how many of the tools I will use in the future. What matters is that I now know they are out there with a whole lot more. If I'm working on a paper, a lesson or whatever and think, "It would be great if there were a tool that could....[fill in the blank]" I know chances are there probably is and I Google it. Before I would never have thought of such a thing.
At times it was truly challenging and even frustrating but I'm glad I stuck with it and thank you, Dr. Dennen, for your limitless patience and encouragement.

Well said and I agree with your sentiments. Many of us have come a long way and like you, I feel a sense of liberation. Before now Web 2.0 was a mystery, now I'm able to take on any challenge or tool that may lie ahead.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you have come so far. And the most important thing is that, as you said, now you know some of the possibilities out there :) And there's not need for goodbyes. I'm sure most of us will see each other again or stay in contact :)
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed your posts over the summer. Any chance you will continue blogging?
