I am having so much fun with all the web 2.0 tools lately. I realize that I must look like a goldfish along side whales compared to some of the educators with which I follow, interact with, or watch as far as my social interaction on the web. But I can always improve!

I have now set up a Twitter account and am following several awesome techies. I had a skype conversation with another. There is a Page Flakes site with all my favorite blogs on the same page. I know in an instant who has updated and can keep up with my reading. I found out that I could send a question through my cell phone to Google and get text reply back with an answer! Awesome! And my favorite hobby these days is “stumbling” through the web with an internet plug-in called Stumble Upon. There are Digg and Pownce accounts that I have created too but I haven’t played with these two tools very much.

I know that I am later than most arriving to the social networking scene and that I have a long way to go but I am a stubborn person and will catch up soon. LOL!!!

It’s no wonder that our students prefer these tools.

I am new to personal blogging too. Have you joined the 31 Day comment challenge (http://commentchallenge.wikispaces.com/). I decided to do it because I usually just visited blogs without leaving comments because I thought my comments wouldn’t be valuable for the blogger - especially “Big Name” bloggers. In the last week I have learnt so much from being part of the challenge the best of which I already knew- that there are so many willing helpers out there in the blogosphere. Happy blogging
