Ok, I must apologize for th3e lateness of this blog. I have been busy over the last 4-days caring for my elderly Mother. Serious stuff but she is doing fine at the moment. With that uplifting introduction let me say that I was able to do many things related to what we are discussing in the section or our class.
As my mother spent the day on Thursday getting a stress test I sat in the waiting room working. I logged on using a guest password form the secretary and was able to access my iQ Academy course management system and was able to grade for hours and hours (still not caught up). I was also able to access my iQ Academy online email application so I could answer parents and assist students. I easily managed all these application using the delicious online bookmarking application I am using.
I actually did forget that I had the convenience of Twitter as well. This would have come in handy as my wolfmail account would not function due to password ageism regulations. Though in defense I did try to change before the deadline but every time I logged into the change password application it kicked me to the wrong page and so I sent email to pc support which went unanswered even though they probably would have sent the message to the email I could not access.
But Props go out to Louis who once again saved the day to day with his helpful Twitter reply. (tl3johnson) I also want to add that the young man who answered the help desk number and walked through the fix was very helpful.
So hurried and busy as usual, the tools we are using do help me in a real way.

What is it about Oct/Nov and crazy lives? Hope your mother is doing well and as Louis told me just last week - find the calm place, take a breath and move forward.
ReplyDeleteSo tell me how Louie's Twitter helped? Did you email him and then he twittered or did you find what you needed by following him?
I hope your mother is getting better. I liked our discussion in our study group about crowdsourcing and the use of nings, wikis and social bookmarking. You gave me some real ideas about using the bookmarking that I had yet to explore. Such as being able to get to all of the web sites you need by placing them on the dashboard. I'm going to look into that more. There's so much information in this class that I can't find the time to get good at any of it.
