U-Blog 4

I was just thinking about the workshop and closer and closer we get i want to know how good are the people in my group with public speaking. i know im alright at public speaking but i dont want none of my memebers or I to get up infront of the people and freeze up. So i want our group to make sure that we get a lot of practice before we go to the workshop.
I'm also afraid that the group of people that we are giving the workshop to aren't going to be willing to want to learn about chatting on-line or using AOL instant messaging. But the more and more i listen to other groups they are coming back with good feedback saying that the people that are apart of the workshops are willing to learn and participate as much as they can so they can learn about the new information
I was wondering if anybody else was feeling like that about their Group project because this is going to be a great thing for the older people at the workshop.

U-BLOG 3

I would like to discuss about the wiki work. it seems that a lot of us are lost on what to do for the wiki. i was trying to work on it the other night and it just seem like all the work was done for me already. when i tried to look up information it was like the other people have already beat me to it. now since i got that off my chest i want to say that the closer and closer we get to the presentation of the workshop i get more worried. i think the crowd is going to enjoy my groups presentation about online chat. the guys that came and gave our class that presentation was a huge help on how we are going to give our presentation at the home.

In this moduel we are talking about learning styles and how different people have differnt styles. I noticed something about myself that these online classes aren't really for me cause i don't know how to keep up with my busy schedule that i already have. In this class I noticed that its not all about doing blogs its more about interacting with your teammates and feeding off each others ideas for the discussion boards. After reading the articles related to learning types and intelligences, I realized only some are suited for online classes and for my learning style. after looking over the articles i feel that online courses are more hand on than people think. its a lot more that goes into online classes as a student of the classes you have to make sure that you understand the work and able to do the work with out actually seeing the professor.

In Dr. Keanes class i noticed that she puts up a lot of links that will help the student adopt to the online learning style the best way that they can. i think that we all can benifit from the online class and the challenges that the class brings
