module 10

I have seen a lot of kids using wikis for research, but I think kids need to be better educated and more aware of the fact that the information may not be reliable. I used to be involved in girl guides, and when we had a camp we seemed to have hundreds of phone calls and letters to organise things - wiki's would have made this so much easier.

What role do you see for using Web 2.0 tools in your own life as a learner and a member of online communities.

Throughout the course I have learnt lots of things that I would have never known about and have grown in confidence in using the computer and the internet. I have had a lot of fun setting up my own blog and have surprised myself that I was able to do it and will enjoy changing it around and adding to it in the future.

I have been using my Igoogle account and adding all my little gadgets to my page and currently the proud owner of a little dog called Ruffy!!!!!!! I think that doing this course has brought my up to date with what my kids have been talking about and they have encouraged me to take a greater interest in it. I look forward to further exploring all the things that I have learnt and becoming a more computer orientated person.
