Faith

During a class that I took this past fall, I was assigned a group project which involved writing a number of group papers. I was psyched when I saw that we could set up a Wiki page through Blackboard even though I've never used one before. I suggested that we use the Wiki to make editing our writing more simple. Two of the three of us gave it a try, but somewhere along the line we decided that it was just easier to email the work back and forth. Has anyone had experience using a Wiki through Blackboard? I'd be interested to know how it worked for you. I'm fairly certain that the Wiki works well -- if everyone (myself included) knows how to work the Wiki!

Cool -- I just figured out that the "horizontal rule" puts this gray line between entries … I am GOOD!

So far, my favorite part (and my least favorite part as well) of this class has been realizing how much can be done with technology in the classroom - even with the technology that I have on my old iBook! There are so many things that I didn't know I could do with just Word and Excel and PowerPoint!!! So, it's my most favorite because of all of the possibilities, but it's my least favorite because it is so overwhelming to consider all that //could// be done. I'm going to try to add a Wordle that I did as part of a Moodle WebQuest. Let's see how savvy I am: Not too bad -- only took me a couple of minutes (mostly 'cause I was fooling around with sizing, etc.). But now, I,m not sure how to quit this whole centered thing I have going. I was rid of it for a second, but then I messed around some more and it's back.

OK - so the centered thing goes away once it's saved …? Let's see if I can add a video clip: [|Tiger Woods Amazing Chip Shot]

I'll take it -- I didn't figure out how to put the actual clip here, but I did get the link set up. Enough for one night!
