Week 12 Reflection
This has certainly been a busy semester! I have actually used more of the available technologies in this course than I have in any of my other courses. I feel that I received a good grounding in each of the technologies presented, and found appropriate methods to use each of the technologies in a pedagogically sound fashion.MSN Messenger
I have found the use of MSN meddenger to be a great asset to this class. I feel that I have developed a more personal relationship with other members of the class than I have in other courses. I also like the immediate feedback that is possible in this medium. In using MSN messenger I have completed the following activities in the course:
Chatted with other class members (Often!)
Chatted with a group of three or more (This got a bit hairy if everyone used a similar font)
Shared files with other class members (Thanks to those of you who proofread my papers!)
Had audio (and video) chats (I apologize to those of you who saw me looking somewhat less than my best!)
Used the whiteboard (Reminded me of MS Paint)
Shared an application (This was such a cool way to share!)
Shared my desktop (You never knew anyone could fit that many icons on a desktop, did you?)
used the e-College Live platform (with somewhat limited success, MSN Messenger is much for fluid)
I have found MSN Messenger to be invaluable this semester. Although I have used it before, I did not use it to the fullest extent of its capabilities. This is quite a powerful tool.

This has also been a fun quarter. Hasn't it been really rewarding to see the technologies, try the technologies, and ultimately learn methods to use the technologies?
And, comparing MSN to the eCollege chat? MSN is much more user friendly ... like you, I felt the eCollege chat was somewhat clunky.
Hi Karen!
Hope everything is going well with your health. This quarter was great! Thank you for your support with some of the tools. You and David help me a lot! My best wishes to both in the coming classes(if any). We are nearing the critical point (proposal and Diss), so I wish you the best. It really nice to have you both as classmates during this course. Until next, bye!
