If I Were Steve...

I'm totally having a love affair with this class, so I really don't have that much to say. I wish it would be a required class because I feel like my MLIS experience would have been sorely lacking without it. Four days ago I started a Ning for book bloggers and book lovers and I already have 36 people networked, most of whom I do not know nor have I ever read their blogs. I also scored points in a job interview today when I said I would screencast technology lessons for the teachers so they could be viewed on their own time.

Seriously, it's been awesome.

Some small suggestions:

• I thought it was interesting that we mostly used Twitter (at least I did) for help and questions. IM has been around for awhile, and although Meebo was new to me, maybe it didn't need its own full week. I used to IM people all the time, but now that so many people have unlimited long distance and even international calling is pretty cheap, I don't use it very much anymore.
• Something small I might add to the week on blogging is to have everyone create a blogroll of the class. Sometimes I wished I could click through everyone's stuff directly.
• I felt like I could have gone another week on wikis. Those were new to me, and so very cool.
• And, the only other suggestion I have is to maybe switch the gaming weeks so we get a little more time on Second Life.
