Week 2~Now I'm really Excited!

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!
