Tech Tools 3.0 Blog 1

Tech Tools 3.0 Blog 1

I decided to answer the last question first:  What is your experience with blogs, either as a reader or author?  I am new to blogging...other than a diary-type blog I have kept privately.  I'm a little nervous about sharing openly..even though, I am an English professor.  I encourage my students to share, so now I wonder why I'm nervous about it.

In Tech Tools 3.0, I hope to learn some new tools to use in teaching online and in communication.  I want to learn the new tools to share with my fellow community college faculty friends.

I don't expect too many challenges from learning in an online environment.  I have taught online for 7 years and have taken several online courses and participated in several MOOCs.  I actually enjoy learning online.

Now, it's obvious that I'm new with this blogging openly.  As we progress through the course, perhaps I'll become more "open" with my thoughts.
