Final Posting

This will serve as my final blog posting for the class. My participation this week was rather limited due to a lack of connectivity, but I did read all my classmates comments on the discussion boards, responded to 10 produsage comments, posted three blogs, and a partridge in a pear tree. My final thoughts about the course can be summed up in one word, meta-reflection. I plan to revisit the readings, blog postings, and discussion board posts over the next two weeks in an effort to finalize my position on the various viewpoints associated with web 2.0 technologies.

Thank you all for a wonderful experience.

Week 6 Prompt

Reflect on what you have learned in the class and how you will use it professionally as both a lifelong learner and an instructional systems professional (or whatever field you’re in).

To early to reflect, seriously, I mean this summer has been so action-packed, compact, exasperating, and overwhelming that I will need at least two weeks to decompress. I will take that time to reflect on the past 12 months in which I: moved my wife, three kids, and dog from N.C. to F.L., completed 36 credit hours, and moved the same wife, three kids, and dog from F.L. to N.J.

I am blogging from a Starbucks, while the movers are still unpacking, because I do not have internet access yet. Yes, I am that guy sitting in the corner drinking a Venti no fat latte and typing on a laptop as everyone who passes by thinks, "That guy must think he is so cool."

I was only offline for a period of 4 days and it feels like I missed a month's worth of conversations on the discussion boards, blogs, and comments. So, I can only reflect that I learned more about emerging and existing tools to place in my ID toolbox for future work and hope that I can carry the torch (re: exhale).

Week 5 Participation

I focused this week on the Produsage assignment and developed what I think will be a useful tool for students who take this course in the future. I was a little confused because I thought there was going to be some peer interaction with our Produsage tools in order to get feedback, but I think it is to late. This week I completed:

• All assigned readings
• Developed Produsage tool
  
• 5 blog entries
• Commented on 6 classmates blogs
• Numerous discussion board posts
  
• Reviewed 2 classmates Produsage tools
