The document discusses Stacy Skinner's experience in a course on Wikis, blogs, and websites. It summarizes that Wikispace was the most useful tool for Stacy because it allows multiple users to collaboratively edit content from anywhere. It also discusses the flexibility and convenience of online courses as well as challenges in learning new technologies but becoming more comfortable through practice and play.

BLOGS, & WEBS
STACY SKINNER

2. WHICH TOOL DID I FIND MOST USEFUL?
• The tool that I found to be most useful was Wikispace because you are able to allow multiple people
access this site, add things, edit things all in the convenience of your own home. You do not have to
worry about collaborating schedules and peers or educators/administrators can get on at anytime and
edit at their leisure.
• My wikispace is: http://stacyskinner76.wikispaces.com

3. SUCCESS IN THIS COURSE
 One success that I had during this class was learning about the different blogs that were available for
educators to incorporate into the classroom.

4. SUCCESS IN THE COURSE CONTINUED
• Another success that I had from taking this course was different webs and wiki’s that were available to
educators and non-educators to help with enhancing the internet into your business for distant learners
of all types. It taught me that you do not have to be the traditional learner by sitting in the classroom,
you can actually learn distantly by using different resources on the internet such as blogs, websites, and
wiki’s.

5. CHALLENGES IN THE COURSE
 One challenge that I encountered in this course was learning different search engines and sites to create
the blogs, webs, and wiki’s. I feel that I’m computer savvy, but I struggled in some areas to create some
of these sites even after watching the video’s numerous times, then I found myself just playing around
with the particular site and getting the hang of it.

6. MY PERSPECTIVE ON ONLINE COURSES
 I enjoyed taking the online course because it allowed me to take the course at my own pace in the
comfort of my own home.
 It gave me more flexibility since I’m a single mom of a 10 year old daughter knowing that I could do the
work at my leisure and not have to worry about sitting in a classroom one night a week for several
hours and worrying about finding a sitter for her.
 It also gave me comfort that the instructor was an email away if I had any issues as well as having
discussion boards available to chat with fellow classmates when needed.

7. MY PERSPECTIVE ON MOODLE
 I wasn’t too pleased at first with Moodle, it was something new to me that I wasn’t comfortable with
until I played around with it and became familiar with it.
 Once I became familiar with Moodle and understood Moodle, I enjoyed working with it and would
recommend it to my fellow educators to look into and experiment with.
 I feel that it’s a good resource and tool for any educator to use and become familiar with to help
enhance their classroom and students.
