On a learning journey….
I’ve now had my first real interaction with an iPad. I have looked at one briefly a couple of times, but I spent several hours “playing” yesterday. My College EdTech specialist has one staff can sign out, so I’ve got it for several weeks. I had no trouble accessing ETEC565, but I couldn’t get to […]
Just contemplating…. At the rate I’m progressing, I may never get a page done for my Moodle course. This is when I question my love for technology….I do believing it’s waning. Taking the “not so easy road” may be tougher, but I’m destined to learn more….right?!
Well this sure took a long time….with mixed success in the end. I downloaded Audacity 1.3.13. No problem. I downloaded LAME. I played around recording several things….well mostly getting my children to record several things. I saved a file. No problem. Then the frustrating part. I couldn’t export my file as an MP3.

Looking into social software has been an interesting undertaking. I chose to look at Facebook (because I am a user), Twitter (because I just don’t get it), Flicker (because I love photos) and Delicious (because I had never heard of it). I was quite impressed with Flicker. Each photo is licensed and that license is […]
Tonight I spent some time in the e-learning toolkit in the weblogs section. After looking through several blogs posted here, I started to google. I wanted to find some blogs dedicated to online and hybrid learning. The number of regular bloggers out there is quite astronomical! I chose to limit my search to Canadian bloggers […]
