Okay, okay! I know I'm late in posting my thoughts for week one. I allowed the demon of procrastination take over just because I felt like I didn't have anything profound to say that had not already been stated in the other Week One assignments. But, here goes...
The readings about Internet Learning Resources were significant sources of clarification for me. I hadn't ever really thought about the internet taking a direct focus for the purpose of education. I have always treated it's usage primarily as a source of research, entertainment, and social/professional communication. Historically, the application of it's use with my students, or as a student myself, has been superficial at best. This has not been due to lack of desire, but more so to the lack of awareness and/or training support. I greatly agree with the March quote. In my own words, as educators, we will never move past the first levels of Bloom's Taxonomy when it comes to using the internet with our students unless we make that paradigm shift to begin to locate and embrace those Internet Learning Resources that are available.
Glad to see you posting. It's OK not to post only profound thoughts! If I waited for that I'd never write anything!
