Nice 1st Discussion

Thank you to all of you who helped make the first Discussion in eCollege as helpful as it was to bring out a lot of the issues around Web2.0 and Library2.0.

I might suggest to all to go back in and review as a lot of the themes discussed are themes that will come up again, both in our future discussions and reading.

2 Side comments about our Discussion:
- notice that as we discussed these issues we started along the path of being a community, even if it's for the short term, I know some of you know me, and some of you know each other, but over the next bunch of weeks, I'll expect that we'll know each other and the topic even better than we may have thought.
- did you also notice that no one outside the class can benefit from our Discussion? ...

Blog URLs >> Student Pages

Just a notice to one change that I made in the sidebar.

Instead of using a Blog URL page, I've decided instead to have you all create short profile pages. This should make management and communication easier between both you and me and you and your fellow students.

Let me know if you have any questions, Steve

Screencast Video Switcheroo

Hi all,

Just let you know of a little "switcheroo" that I did on the screencast videos (the Camtasia stuff) for class.

I'd like it if we could be "in" the eCollege course shell as little as possible and would prefer to keep you on the wiki and on the various services we'll be using for class. So, it was my original intention to store the videos on eCollege but link to them from the wiki. This met with only moderate success so I moved the screencast vids to my librarysteve.com site (there's nothing to see there I just use it to host files for now) and made a little video area in eCollege for backup.

Basically I'll be loading the vids to both places (at least until this drives me insane or I think of something else I want to do) so that you can conveniently view them via the wiki OR you can watch them in the courseshell.

Welcome to Class!

Hello all,

I think this will be a great semester, I'm really looking forward to putting this class together online and exploring all these cool ideas and technologies with you.
