It has been a very enjoyable and frustrating experience for me. I have always been open to challenges and I must say, that this class has been one where I have ventured out in rapid waters equipped with only my common sense and positive attitude towards learning. Before taking this class, I had been introduced to wikis and blogging, but not to the extent that this class took me. I found myself sitting at my computer desk reading, viewing, smiling, laughing, conversing, eating, and almost sleeping most nights as I clicked away at my keyboard. Some nights I sat and wondered if any of my fellow students were going through the same motions too. It was almost like sitting in a classroom with the computer screen as the teacher. I looked forward to reading blog posts and I became mesmerized at the immensity of information that was available online and became a word hog. I love words and the more I read, the more I wanted to know. On most nights, I was focused and I diligently took notes from the readings into my notebook and took time to re-read them hoping to make sense of what I had read. But, like I said earlier, I became more excited when I hit a curve or a slight slant on this road I had ventured on and my notes became a blur while I watched a wordle take shape. It was an amazing experience. I wish someone had been here beside me most nights to hear my yahoos and my wallops and my not so many nice words that little old ladies like me should not have in their vocabulary. But if there is one thing that I will take with me from taking this class, it's this. Even though I have never met half of the students enrolled in this class personally, I feel that through their posts and comments and their final projects all taking shape, I feel connected to them; Internetically speaking!
