Welcome

Welcome to our first blog. We had the opportunity to travel to Albuquerque, Feb. 17-20, to attend the e-Learning 2007 Conference. This blog will be our way of sharing perceptions, experiences and web-links from our Albuquerque adventure. We have chosen this form of communication in order to put into practice one of the new technologies that many instructors are using in their online courses. Linc and Doug

Site Resources-Links

Experience the trip with us! Check out the e-Learning Conference program schedule. If that doesn't interest you, I would suggest "visiting" some of the places we had a chance to explore. Try out the "Old Town Ghost Tours," Acoma Pueblo (Acoma is the oldest continually inhabited community in North America), Albuquerque's Offical Visitor's Site, or the Petroglyphs National Monument.

My brain starting hurting during this session as Barry, in rapid fire fashion, identified the various free tools one could use to create everything from Moodles to Vodcasts. While I can appreciate Barry's creativity and the hours he must devote to exploring online resources, I wondered if we are not creating a new form of trash: e-litter? Doug

Web 2.0 Tools

No one can totally agree on what Web 2.0 means, but most acknowledge that it includes free tools that you can use to enhance your online course. Barry Dahl from Lake Superior College has amassed a great deal of these together and demonstrated examples during a "whirlwind" presentation. Here is a link to his resources (Web 2.0 Tools). Barry has a "top 12" in this site which may or may be of use to you. Linc
