My informL Unworkshop

The Blog and Podcasting review with Loretta Donovan proved an interesting exercise. I was looking forward to hearing another viewpoint on Wikis and wondered if I would be able to
deal with my lack of comfort with podcasting. I cannot fathom what it is that seems to get so many people that I respect so excited.

What a surprise our views were so similar. “Hey look mom, I am not the only one out of step with the crowd.”

So while I have found that it seems very easy to embrace this increasingly popular technology I have yet to see myself making other than a tenative experiment or two with it.

Note to self. YOU will try it for size.!!

So I am therefore looking forward to reading the posings from the other pairs and hope that there might be someting to find that will cause the ‘penny to drop’ and see me joining the crowd.

The examination of Wikis was far more rewarding. It is easy to see the potential benefits now that the point & click user is to be accomodated. The chalenge will probably be figuring out a set of criteria to judge which of the competing applications meet my needs or more importantly the needs of others that I might try to assist.

I am looking forward in the weeks following the Unworkshop coming back and trying out these many new applications. I think I am going to have a few problems sorting out a sequence to work through. There is so much to explore that random experimentation would waste effort.
