Well, this week I've discovered that I have to just get out there and do it. Being fascinated with technology isn't enough, if I want to be successful at this; I have to meet my fears head on.
So, this week the theme was Moodle. I've had some previous exposure to Moodle at a conference that I attended a few months ago. As always, I was excited after the conference and wanted to get started right away. Now mind you, the Moodle that I was observing was in full swing, and had been so for over a year. Anyway, I was so excited that I hurried home to my computer and set up my account. Then..... nothing. This technology thing requires work and a certain degree of creativity, I had hit a plateau as soon as I started. I wasn't thinking about the work required that allows technology to be so beneficial, I was only thinking of the end product...the Benefits and Fun.
This week, I confronted my fears and took steps to actually begin preparing my Moodle. Now my excitement isn't just about what I Can do, but more about what I AM doing.
I'm Moodling, blogging my reflections, bookmarking via Delicious, and working on the WIKI!
