I am sure that you will be excited to complete your Masters and what a super last course. When you are finished you will have an entire repetoire of Web 2.0 tools and you are helping the rest of us as you go! Thanks. Jodene You constantly amaze me with your new technological findings.

This is always difficult, finding a catchy name for your blog. How did you come up with your blog name? Thanks Tracy for being such a wonderful inspiration to educators; this will be my new stop for good educational information. Andrea Great name!

As a teacher you know that there are no dumb questions, so ask away... :-) Facebook and other tools that are similar (My Space, etc.) are called Social Networking tools. There are other types of online communication known as Forums, which would be similar to the Moodle discussions we started up for teacher-librarians last year. I found a great description of the differences between blogs, social networking, and forums on another blog: http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2008/01/28/understanding-the-difference-between-forums-blogs-and-social-networks/ He explains it so well that I won't try to add my two bits. My next blog post will be on blogging basics, as I know many people who I've asked to check out my new blog are not quite sure what a blog is or how they work. Stay tuned....

I will try to participate and learn. This might be as good as taking a course. My first dumb question, but how do I describe the differences between commenting on a blog as opposed to facebook and similar products? In educational language - what are the defining/overlapping features of the many similar communication tools like this? Cheers, Marilyn Looks great, Tracy. I will try to participate and learn.
