I'm still having trouble with the way this course branches out in so many directions when trying to teach something, and does not have as systematic verbal explanations as I would prefer. The tutorial goes by too fast in some places. I am ending up keeping a folder on my computer of notes, and info. -- partially because it seems whenever I follow one of the class referrals, I end up with the browser closed and having to restart all over trying to find the basic correct week and where I was at.
The instructions aren't very clear on whether you have to do all this within our blog or on your office computer or can do from everywhere/anywhere.
So, I've had a Delicious account for a while, used onlyi briefly, but really appreciate it when I click on something referred to by a son-in-law who maintains an extensive annotated Delicious presence on computer technology, medicine, and misc. other interests. do I remember how I set it up? No. Do I use it ? No.
The RSS feeder. I had already subscribed to 13 or 14 other participants' blogs without going through finding a feed reader, not realizing I needed some separate reader?? I have a my.yahoo, but never subscribed to an RSS feed per se knowingly, although some of my settings on that page probably amount to an RSS I think.
I have numbers of questions. My learning style would have preferred an interpersonal approach to learning this, I guess, as I'm uncertain to whom I should direct questions within lessons - since the source might be Palinet or one of several course leaders or just try to figure it out as I go along...
So, opposite goal, I'm feeling less confident and less sure than at the beginning of the class, as I am not clear on scope/feedback on this lesson.

And, of course, it doesn't help that we have 4 advisors and 300+ participants. Next time, I think we should be "mean" and cap registration!
ReplyDeleteReading your posts is good feedback, Edith, because this is the kind of stuff we need to know about if we're going to improve. Ryan Hughes, Kelley Beeson, Beth Mellor and I are on call for questions about the course - this was our brainchild, based on the original 23 Things created at PLCMC.
