Diving back in.....

Well.... I had to take a couple days off because I thought my head might explode.  There are so many different things going on at once in this class.  I tried to dive into everything at once, but got completely overwhelmed.  After reading through discussions, blogs, Twitter, etc. I know I'm not alone.
Sometimes I feel like it's a roller coaster.  I get so excited when I learn about a new technology... then life happens and I don't end up spending the time to really learn how to use and integrate that technology so it gets forgotten.  Then I learn about another one and the process repeats......
As of today, I will dive back in with a positive attitude!!!!!

First blog post

After struggling with Wordpress, I decided to try this instead.  I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all the technology we are using in this class...... but excited to get comfortable with it so I can start using it in my program.  I suppose being immersed in is the only way to achieve that goal!!!

Twitter.......
I can honestly say I was not a fan of Twitter.  I created an account last semester for another class and didn't really buy in.  Then my son went to Washington DC for his 8th grade trip.  They weren't allowed to bring cell phones with them so I followed what they were doing on Twitter.  Then this class started.... I am really enjoying the posts and sharing from everyone in this class.  I think it's all in the organization.  If you only follow certain people, you don't have to feel bombarded and sift through all the Tweets to find what you're looking for.

I look forward to the journey this class will be!!!
