The first day was a nerve shattering experience. Believe it or not, the second day was just the opposite with a few minor changes. I fixed the problem of not being able to access my unwielding wad of paperwork. Note cards with key points helped me to focus my ideas and present them when needed. The funny part was by the third discussion the rules of engagement changed. We started using a chat to discuss faculty effectiveness and wow, what an experience. I was watching ideas flying faster than I could type. I felt like I needed to run for cover. In fact, I spend most of the time starting to type an idea, only to find the class discussion had already moved on. Ok, so the note card really didn't help as much in that particular discussion. I will try to email myself cut and paste ideas to lead the discussion on Wednesday on my topic. Hope it works.
Tueday started with an a discussion on intellectual properties and open courseware. Open courseware is fascinating. I must be living in the dark ages... why have a not heard of this before.
I need to explore through the class offerings more. I am still struggling with some confusion on copyrights and intellectual properties. The only thing for sure in this area is that I know now that I am really good at breaking them. Refer to handout from previous day on YouTube safety.
I am really fascinated with Brent's growing list of links. I need to get the list out when I get home and sift through all the new ideas and try some of the sites listed. IM is a great find.

Dear Christi
I looked at your Blog, and it was great to read. You have encouraged me, because you really contributed every day and your Web 2.0 presentation was very professional & informative. I am curious about what you said about finding your mother--that is a heartwarming story--tell me more when you have time. Stay in touch.
