Time… January 5, 2010
As I prepare for the new semester, time becomes very relevant. What exactly do I want form my students and from myself? How can we achieve everything without over exerting? There is so much to do and so little time. Once again, I think of David Bowie’s Time…The first line is, “Time is waiting in the wings”. Do you really think so? As a person who is very, very busy with many “jobs” to pay the bills, time is very precious. Even as I write this, I should be doing something else! I’ll do my best to create classes that will teach with little time…

The Wiki Creation October 1, 2009
OK. So I created my first Wiki! Now how do I use it? Who can edit it? What the heck am I getting myself into?! These are the first thoughts that crossed my mind during this creation process.
This Wiki is for a Spring Semester course I teach fully Online (CSA 149: Second Life Virtual World). It will be used to house tutorials, web links and “SLurls”. The participants will be able to add to the latter two components. Anything else will not be editable.
Within this class, I have a few Scavenger Hunt assignments. The Wiki may be a better environment to add the information than how it is set up currently. Participants can then see what another person has added…Making the next person search out somewhere different; this making the assignment more difficult…Though I like the idea of participants creating notecards in-world, this may be a different solution…Still not sure how this aspect will play out…Mulling it around in the brain now…Ouch!…I think I hurt myself by thinking too hard
Within the tutorials, more than just video can be added. Scripts and animations for participants to use can also be placed here. This may also be more useful for the final exam than how it is implemented at the present…I’d think about it more “but” I don’t want to hurt myself again…
All in all, it seems that the Wiki can be of use. The class already has a Blog…Why not add the Wiki…Geez…Am I just creating more work for myself? I thought technology was suppose to make my life easier…
