Wiki is a new communication tool for me and I had difficulty at the beginning to track others wikis but I am getting used to it now. Thanks for the small group. I still like WebCT’s threaded, blog, or journal type discussion tools better. They are more structured compared to wiki. (I still like structured stuff better in today’s informal world and still having difficulty with abbreviations, slangs and informal writing style). This is my fault not others. However, I have learned a lot about NEtiquette. Interestingly, when I write NEtiquette the way it is written here, my auto spell-check corrects it but I want to write it in a way it is on the web (wrong way). Again a conflict between formal and informal style!
I enjoyed instant messaging today with some embarrassment of my slow typing and “formal style.” One day my daughter was logged in and I started working on the computer. My niece came online from Canada and started chatting. I wrote few sentences and she replied, “oh its my dear aunty.” How did she find out?
I always use hotmail instant messaging; and found gmail chat a little different. No problem in one-on-one chat but needs better clarity on how to join a group chat.
Overall, this week made my online learning curve a bit higher. Got the good news of the DLMG grant approval and excited to use my current learning for next semester’s course development experience

Class size and tracking work-- Yes, if you grade wikis, or replies in blogs, you have to have students submit some type of deadline reflection or report that tell you, the instructor, where to find their work. Does that make sense?
