Module 2 introduced me to the concept of BLOGS. Now this is a term I have heard frequently at school, in the classroom and even environments outside of school. However I have never really been fully aware of what they were. I had an idea that it involved people opinions, but what I didn't know that this idea of blogging has opened all individuals up to the world of commenting on what they know, think, believe, feel etc. Its no longer just about qualified professionals and their opinions.
I'm looking forward to learning more about blogging and other web concepts because in such a short period of time I have discovered that these tools can be very handy in the classroom for students as well as providing more interesting ways of communicating and learning. Blogging could be a way for me to get students to reflect and discuss more about what is being learnt.
Can't wait to test it out with my classes.

MODULE 1
Well, I have finally started the web 2.0 modules. Having a number of staff completing this together at the same time has made it easy to get on with it as there are now poeple to talk things over with.On to the introductions, then.
My name is Danielle and I teach Science and HSIE at All Saints Catholic Boys College in Liverpool. This is my first year teaching; I did do a small block late last year but now this is the real thing. Full time, 5 days a week. I'm thoroughly enjoying teaching, however I just don't seem to have enough hours in the day :)
Module 1 for the web 2.0 was a nice easy slide into the course. It wasn't too full on, which meant I was able to work my way through the process of getting myself organised and started with the necessary setups. I am liking the fact that there are accompanying you tube videos to point us in the right direction for each part of the module. Having viewed this videos and had a little play around with igoogle and a few other aspects of the web 2.0 i think i'm going to learn alot and look forward to the coming modules.
