Day 10

Thank you for spending the past two weeks with us. Today is our last day for Standard 6: Using Media Effectively. This was the first time we used a blog for this course. We’re not sure it caught on the way we wanted it to but it certainly illustrates a common issue in using technologies for teaching: the first time you use a new technology in a course, you should probably consider that the beginning of an experiment. We hoped learners in the course would make comments on our posts but one of the things we learned is that, in order to make comments, it is necessary to sign up for an account with blogger.com. That might present a barrier to some. So, maybe the next time we use the blog, we’ll include a note about this in our first posting. Live and learn!
