As I log into blackboard I am shocked to see how many posts my fellow students have already made introducing themselves. As I read through the discussion board I am amazed by how many people from all walks of life and all over Australia (and the world) are taking this unit. There are so many variances in the degrees each person is studying – but I notice a few familiar names from my Bachelor of Education studies. Our warm up activity this week is to utilise namechk.com to determine an appropriate user name that will assist us in establishing our web presence (an assignment that comes later) on a variety of sites including delicious, twitter, blogger, wordpress, flickr, linkedin, and friendfeed. As I use the tool the number of web applications it searches overwhelms me – I look through the list and recognise a few....facebook, check, twitter, well I have some vague memory of signing up a year ago and giving up, wordpress, check I used this in another unit so I start feeling confident, flickr, delicious, I wonder what food has to do with the internet? I am already out of my depth.
