I have finally being able to take some minutes to rebuild this blog which I started in 2003, left for year with only one entry, and took back a year ago with another entry, and now I have digged in my files to find the url, user name and password, to use it for the EVO blogging session with Bee, Aaron and Graham.
After finding another blog provider, I discovered that my adversion to blogging was not really to blogging but to the blog I was using, meaning this one. But, since it is a requirements of the session to use blogger, here I am like a good obedient girl ;-) dusting and polishing my old, forgotten, never-wanted blogger :-(
If you want to know who I, am check it out
here I am co-moderating the session "
Becoming a Webhead (BaW) 2005", and we have a small-scale
bravenet blog where our participants write their opinions about our session and the CMC tools we are exploring. We also have a world map to show where our participants are, well in fact, we had to create a second map because we used the 100 free entries of the first one.
I have always used journals in my f2f classes, and when I started teaching blended and online courses in 2002, I began using the folders in Yahoo Groups for my students to write their e-journals, then I used
schoolblogs, which is a very nice blog for students, with a lovely layout, and very convenient regarding privacy, but .... the server was always down when we needed it. That's when I open my blogger account, but was never convinced. Now, that I have discovered
LiveJournal I am sure I will start using it with my students.
For collaborative projects, I introduced
Webcollaborator to my students last trimester and they loved it. This trimester I will be using it again with my graduate students, and later I will introduce the Wiki in the Moodle I am using for the course.
Well, I think this is enough for today :-)
Btw, this is me in Holland:

See you all around in cyber space!!
