Activity #1 Post

  • Which habit(s) may be most challenging for you to employ as part of your D113 Learning 2.0 experience?
    • I think that seeing problems as challenges will be challenging for me. As a couple people mentioned on the VoiceThread, I often get frustrated with technology or don't want to take the time to figure out a kink; I view it a problem that derails my lesson or learning rather than a problem that will teach me in the end. 
  • Which habit(s) will be easiest, or are most resonant for you as a lifelong learner?
    • I think that taking responsibility for my own learning will be the easiest for me.  I believe I naturally do this, and I try to model this for my students and own children as well, so I hope that I will do this well in this class, too!   
  • Which habit do you think will be most important for you as you work through this course, and why?
    • As I mentioned on the VoiceThread, I think that using technology to my advantage will be most important. I often don't want to change my teaching practice to incorporate new technology just because I am easily overwhelmed by it and I don't view problems I run into with it as challenges.  But, I think that Web 2.0 has some powerful, and very important, applications for my students, and it is my responsibility to teach them about it.  And, I think it could be fun too--they are more used to being "prosumers" than I am, so I think they will welcome this with open arms and teach me a few things!

  1. Your "habits" may have easily been mine. Let's KIT throughout this course for material sharing. I am going to ask Maureen what kind of Voicethread account she has, because it would be useful in an English or Social Studies course, but I am not sure I would do a $79/year account justice. Keep on, keep on!
