Aloha,
I found working in groups to design future class assignments very interesting. Our group was Rachel, Myla, and Jake. We met in the Elluminate sessions at the end of class. We also communicated via email and Skype. I am new to Skype and finally got it running on my PC. As an aside you need to have Skype on-line before you can add or invite contacts. Yes I am a tech guy and I still had that problem!
After looking at the posted assignment ideas on the course wiki site, I am impressed with the range of ideas for the assignments. Everyone seems to be into producing videos which is a new thing to me. In this class I am looking forward to learning how to create effective educational videos.
I was impressed our guest speaker, Annie St. Jacques and her research in educational technology and of course seeing pictures of Nova Scotia and Halifax. She talks about a blended online learning design (http://sjannie.wordpress.com/about/ ) where teaching occurs both synchronously and asynchronously.
I am going to spend tonight doing the week 3 module stuff.
See everyone next week.

Introduction assignment - ETEC647
Well working on the introduction assignment was fun. Because of my schedule I could only devote a few hours to the project. However, it was still good learning about Helen, even more than I knew as we both work in the same department at UH Hilo. So far all of the introductions look really good and I like the variety of tools that were used. I really liked the collage tool, kind of makes for a virtualized Christmas card.
