Thing #2


The first two days of instructional technology strategies has been the beginning of what may prove to be a long and arduous journey.  Though my previous career was steeped in highly technical jargon, software, and hardware, it has rapidly become apparent that those years have not prepared me well for this World Wide Web odyssey.  Perhaps my ignorance of  Apple products and the nuanced navigation procedures required in accomplishing the tasks will quickly wane; I can only hope!
There were some sprinklings of fun mixed in with the frustration in producing the requisite blog. Because I could not stop the cranial overload the site construction process was providing me, I came upon the idea of using the posting name of "Thoughtful." Additionally, the challenges of this course will translate into my needing special assistance. This will, I am convinced, make me a persistent nuisance for the instructor in this course. Therefore, the chosen name for my blog is "Gadfly." The creation of the avatar was a no-brainer because all it required was finding the appropriate hair, and the expression that most resembled thought or confusion.

  1. LOL, "Most resembled thought or confusion." I posted on my blog that the fact you have your blog up and running and registered proves that you are better than you are giving yourself credit for.

    Just give it time. I am sure by the end of the semester, you will be blogging pro!

  2. With use I am certain I will become more comfortable with using all of the new, interesting, and certainly useful tools 3040 has to offer. Mapping it all out in my head is the short term challenge.
