This week was the beginning of month 4 in our EMDT program--wow--it will be a busy month. The course is called Emerging Technologies in a Collaborative Culture and we have been introduced to blogs, RSS and a whole myriad of new acronyms. We quickly learned what these various terms meant with our new vocabulary related to technology. Concepts such as class/course/learning management systems, (CMS, LMS, LCMS) and virtual learning environment (VLE), which is what our online course is. All these new concepts relate to a digital learning environment and the management of them. For someone brand new to blogs and maneuvering in a digital environment it has been an interesting week. Intense as new technology is being learned, but amazing at the same time to learn about and how these new tools are able to help us manage the digital information we are gaining knowledge to.
My iGoogle site is composed of 5 pages, or tabbed areas, so far that have additional organization tools and gadgets. My Google reader is on a few pages, along with clocks and calendars to keep me on track. I've also added a "To Do" list along with Link boxes which I have set to give me a quick link to favorite sites I want to visit, or have handy access to. I have links to my Gmail and important FullSail sites, and resources. I especially like the links for the quotes, and technology tips of the day. I even placed a "count down" calendar for important events and due dates. The pages I've included here are; Home, FullSail Online, Action Research and the ETC Course. Eventually I will build a Resource page with additional RSS feeds as well as a page for my personal and La Serna Family information to be included. What a great way to organize everything in one spot.
