Reading

I have spent a good deal of time this week reading about different aspects of

e-learning and now am delighted to have a greater understanding of RSS, blogs, podcasts, wikis and how these all differ from each other. As someone who really just stumbled onto the net, I was really interested to read that the wiki is best example of what the web was intended be and how the web has progressed from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 and the Read/write concept. When thinking about it in this way, the scope for learning is just enormous.

Due to the fact that I am quite transient this year and am spending time in lots of different places, I am looking forward to seeing what different and amazing things are happening in schools and early childhood centres.

My first entry

Hi everyone,

Well it has been a busy week back at uni and despite not being hugely knowledgeable (yet!) in e-Learning and many of its components, I am really happy that I made the decision to enroll in this course. I have spent much of the week trying to figure out how to do a blog page within the iWeb application and upload it to Wordpress. At this stage I have decided for leave that idea and just start simply with a blog here, although I do now know about lots of new things including what FTP means, how to make changes on my macbook using TextWrangler and what FileZilla is used for. So although I have not managed to achieve what I wanted, I have learned lots and that is surely the main thing.

Have a fab weekend!

Cheers Kazza
