Teaching or learning. It’s a toss-up which one I like best.

What a great day in our Distance Education Tools class.  The students are fun and excited about what we are learning and fantastic to help each other and add to the knowledge base. There is just some kind of synergy that happens when everyone is collectively teaching and learning at the same time.  Every single person has something to bring to the table. We learned about my favorite social bookmarking tool, Delicious,this afternoon from John Sanchez.  He did a great job, especially since we were dealing with some unknown technical issues.  It goes to show you that being flexible and staying calm can get you through most things. I have been bookmarking things for the last month that I thought this class might be interested in and giving them a Delicious tag of INST6105.  We have quite a collection going on now.  Hopefully we can continue to add to a great start.

If any of you would like to see some of the things we are doing you are welcome to visit our class website. From there you can link to our class blogs. Currently it is a work in progress and will eventually house links to all of our class mini-tool-workshops.  These workshops will be stand alone modules that can be reused by anyone to teach about one of these tools.
