Intro to Blogs…

…and Wikis

Today’s class was pretty boring. We spent most of the time learning the basics of blogs and wikis, including how to post articles and comments. For someone like me who lives and breathe this every day, not a single thing was new, and most of the questions could have easily waited until after class, only a few of the older people and the one homeschooled (through undergrad??) guy had questions. Maybe I should have taken this course online, too.

My group seems pretty solid, although we lack a go-getter who will arrange everything for us. Luckily we get a discussion board where we can share information. I like the idea of the class blog, which seems like a really nice place to share what we’ve learned with room for creativity. The instruction on this so far has been vague, so I’m a little nervous on that front. For 6080, I have 1.5% of my class completed, which is 100% of what we’ve done so far… so yay?

I’m expecting to enjoy 6080 more, as I think I’m going to tend towards the techy side of the profession. Yay grad school!
