In my first two courses in the MET program, I labelled my introductory postings with \u201cHi from the newbie\u201d.\u00a0 The term \u201cnewbie\u201d was exactly how I felt as I struggled to even vaguely grasp the \u201cforeign\u201d language that some of my classmates were speaking, and this was just in their introductory posts.\u00a0 My foray into MET was truly a Web 1.0 experience in which I felt like an information dumping receptacle.\u00a0 Thinking back, I remember Web 1.0 as a world of relatively static webpages in which I spent hundreds of hours wrapped up in the thrill of discovery and absorption of the world online; and in truth, MET was no different.\u00a0 Making sense of this new learning platform was a challenge with its vast stores of information in course work, peers postings, and subsequent research material.\u00a0 With such a steep learning curve, the information was flowing in but not much sense was flowing out, and this showed in my communication with my peers.\u00a0 In fact, at the same time as I was creating a social constructivist based Moodle course in ETEC 510<\/a>, Design of Technology-Supported Learning Environments, involving metacognition, I was also studying metacognitive learning in ETEC 530 and attempting to write my own first tentative reflections.\u00a0 It was \u201cdo or die\u201d time and I struggled to create a product that reflected what I was, myself, just learning; \u00a0an experience that is not uncommon to most teachers in curriculum development.<\/p>\n

I began to develop an understanding of the vast potential behind online learning.\u00a0 It was in this social and experiential learning environment that I first saw real learning potential for online professional development (PD) environments.<\/p>\n
