First Class Review

Well, our first class has finished. I learned about a couple of new technologies in this course and am already working on ways to incorporate them into our technology plan at school. We will be launching a social bookmark site this week full of educational resources for all grade levels and subjects.

I have also started working with our guidance department on creating a social network for our alumni. One of our counselors wanted an interactive site so recent grads can support current students. Originally the idea was just a discussion board but that evolved and they wanted something more Facebook-like. I showed them how Ning works and we are working on a plan to present to our administration.

I am now looking forward to our next class on how computers work. I already have a good understanding of what each part does but there are some things, like how operating systems work, that I would like to understand better.
