Week #11: Firefox

Last Friday I downloaded Firefox.  I really like the SeaMonkey add-ons.  I’ve chosen dicitonaries in other languages and I downloaded the Italian one.  I hope to use it more frequently once I get more time.  Next, I’d like to add on Forecastfox to get the international weather.

Week #6 & #7: Time for Discovery!

Thanks for these times to ask questions and get more help.  I wish I had more time at work to explore and do the exercises.  The various sessions were great cause I was forced to sit for 1 hour at a time to try something new with the help of the ETG Group.

Week #10: Gaming & Virtual Environments

I went to the gaming session with Kelly,  Amanda and Krista. It was quite fascinating to see what is available out there.  I’m not really into games cause I don’t seem to have the patience and time to spend on them.  My son loves playing all of the sports games which he would spend a lot of time on if we allow him to.  I must admit that I do play a little of Spider Solitaire from time to time.  I really liked watching everyone dance to the Dance Revolution game.  I think I’m going to purchase it cause it would be a great game to play with family and friends.  The virtual world of Second Life looks very interesting as well.  I need to spend more time exploring it.  I’m trying to figure out how it can be applied for teaching purposes.   Virtual worlds are pretty mind boggling but I do appreciate the chance to learn about them through Learning 2.0.  Thanks again to everyone!

Week #4: Wikis

A wiki is a great tool that everyone can contribute to.  I prefer pbwiki cause I like the layout and find it’s easier to use.  We have a wiki for our department entitled: Resource Management.   It’s great, everything you need seems to be right at your fingertip!

Week #9: Facebook

What a great opportunity!  Thanks!  Today I learned all about Facebook.  It is an amazing way to stay in touch with family and friends.  I enjoyed creating my own avatar which I’m sure everyone will recognize.  Anyways, today the sun is shining brightly and I hope to enjoy the outdoors this weekend.  Glad winter is finally over.
