Reflection on what I have learned so far while working on WEB 2.0

Well, inspiration has taken off I guess, so I'm just going to say what I have done so far. I opened an email acount and created a blog. I have reviewed the basic components and operations of a computer. I have taken a couple of tests and I have been introduced to the use of CANVAS. Because of time, I failed two tests which I never got to do. So I have zero as a consequence of bad timing.

Regarding my expectations I can't say much either. From the beginning I was asked to say something positive, so I do not want to be negative here. Therefore, maybe, what I can say is that I expect to master the use of CANVAS for the benefit of both students and fellow teachers. I can't denied I feel a bit apprehensive with so many things to do and so little time to do them. I would love to hear some ideas on how to use time effectively.
Anybody any ideas?

Reflection on Tecnologias 101

Well ..... what can I say here? Not much. I guess I'm not so much interested in the names of the buttons but in their function. But that's me.

Reflection on Tecnologia 100


Here I learned how to open a google account and create my blog. I remember when I was first introduced to the use of internet and email I found it pretty confusing because I could not really figure out the concept behind. I guess it was good to have an instructor right there to clear my doubts, but maybe the most important part was that I did not HAVE TO learn those things, so I did not have the pressure of time. I decided to take lessons for the sake of being up-to-date with modern technology. Today, I am introduced to something new again, blogging. The situation is totally different, but the feeling is the same. Am I willing to take the challenge? Of course. This is giving me the chance to encourage a very dear person to share his knowledge on the subject. I take this opportunity to thank Cisco, a sweet angel I have, for helping me out with this challenging endeavour. Though I appreciate to have lots of literature and Cisco to help me,  I'm not sure I should be looking for "external" help to learn this. I really don't need anybody to just make sure "I'm doing my homework" or administer tests. I actually need a teacher, instructor, tutor, whatever you want to call that person, to guide me with this, and I guess the CBA should provide one.
