How I Got Here, Step 1

Last fall, I went to a talk at our local AIMS conference by Meg Steele about Web 2.0 technologies. She told us about an on-line course for teachers called 23 Things and run by Shelly Paul. I worked through the course last spring and learned a lot. Now, I'm trying to apply some of it.

Also last fall, I set up a class wiki through Wikispaces and tried some things with my students on it. See my later blog, "Step 2" for more details. My project this fall is to expand it and get permission from my school to allow people to view it on-line.

One of the things I've learned is to start gradually and start small. I find the amount of information available a bit overwhelming.
