Notes from Millie D

I know the end of the class isn’t until next week but there is a lot going on over the next two weeks so I thought I would just get’r done.

I have gotten a lot of this class, despite what you might have thought Jeff.  I haven’t had the time to explore much in Second Life and this class has given me a chance to explore around.  I’ve realized that I should make some more time and get familiar with this virtual world.

I want to take a moment and thank Dean, Kevin, and Sheryl as guest speakers.  It is always nice to hear from others who want to share their expertise with others.  In an online environment having guest speakers makes the experience even better.

For me the content is only a piece of the overall experience in taking classes. Just as big as the content are the conversations.  Having the chance to chat with Jeff and my fellow classmates is something powerful that I take away from the class.  I hope everyone who started blogging through this class continues during the school year because you’ve got a worldwide audience out there.  If you’ve been reading my blog through this class I hope you continue to follow my journey throughout the school year.

I was skeptical about the collaboration project when it was first presented.  I think my skepticism was based on the time frame given the expectations but Dean and Jeff put me at ease when it more about the process than the content (content was important but we expect our students to learn from mistakes as we should as well).  In the end the wiki turned out fairly well.  I hope people use it as a resource.

If Plymouth State Univ. decides to offer this class next summer I would be glad to recommend it.
