A new semester begins!

Before Labor Day, no less. But we all got through it, my students are wonderful, and I'm glad to be back.
I'll be experimenting with Poll Everywhere and I'm pretty excited about that.
And I'm teaching three learning communities; two with a business course, same professor, and one with an economics course.
So it will be a busy semester, in this, the fall semester of my penultimate year of teaching.

Social Networking and Schools

So here I am, so clever (!) getting ready to develop a Web 2.0 class for my doctoral students, only to discover that blogs, social networking sites and some wikis are blocked by their schools and school districts! Who knew?

I actually wondered, since when I gave a presentation on social networking at Good Counsel Academy in November there was much tittering when I suggested that the causes section on Facebook would be a good way to identify folks who might share some of the same interests that the students have.

Oh well-that's what happens when you fall in love with the technology and don't always see the dark side. Just another challenge!
