What have I started?
I am a primary school teacher who has been working online for many years, and who has been involved with a virtual world for nearly a year. I have, however, just entered another period of learning with a steep learning curve in relation to web 2.0.
I have always been a “doer”, and when I had something sorted, working and documented I would share with other teachers in a formal setting. This means that my journey so far has been undocumented, and therefore private.
All I have at the moment are questions:
Is it easy to blog?
Can I maintain a blog?
Will I really be able to document what I do?
Will anyone in the world be interested?
What is my personal focus at the moment? It is Second Life, and that is what has led me into the world of web 2.0 – it has been impossible to become involved in SL as an educator while remaining able to ignore or skip over the blogs and wikis that are created in relation to both SL and education.
From one bookmarked blog maintained by a colleague, my list has grown almost exponentially. And so it has happened. I have also now put a toe in the water of the blogging ocean. If someone reads this, I hope it strikes a chord, and they deal with it kindly.
