In deciding to read my classmates blogs, I began at the top of the list. So this week I read Dena Fife's, Phillip Havlik's, Jennifer McCarty's, Chad Lynch's and Sheri Trapp-Cordova. I'll also be reading the next five on the list for the Week 4 assignment - whew!
I really agree with Dena's thoughts on time management issues and how these two courses are requiring us to react on a different level than the software courses of last semester (and I thought nothing could be harder to understand all that technology stuff!). Thanks Dena for the reminder that I am not alone in this and that it just takes a little concentration to get back on track.
Phillip's blog mentioned that he also thought the blogging and the discussion boards had similarities and posed a question on their differences.
Personally, I would like just one place to post thoughts and comments then two or three places. Although if I were a full-time student with no other responsibilities like having a family and a job to pay bills, then I think blogging could be really helpful in exchanging ideas and concepts - not that they are not in this instance, but they are really time consuming. Okay enough whining on this subject - my lips (fingers) are sealed evermore!
Jennifer McCarty mentioned she enjoys reading books online - this must be an acquired skill and I will definitely ask her how she manages this as I still print out most material (sorry green folks) to read, highlight and save in my specific binder. I do not mind short articles, but over four pages and into the printer it goes. Thanks Jennifer for posing the question about how to read professional articles - print away!
Kudos to Chad (and to Dena for referring this point) for the info on the RSS feeds from UTube. A great help to me! I also enjoyed reviewing Chad's bullet point on DE - nice summary that reminded me of things I read and forgot about - gosh, already!
The final blog I read this week was Sheri's. I would love to have her read all the articles and summarize them - I would pay! Just kidding a little - thank you Sheri for doing such a great job! I enjoyed how you were faithful to the article, but also brought out the highlights and your thoughts.
