  On this day Geoff wanted us to put a link to our wikis on our blog. I have nothing on my wiki, cuz I don’t know how to put anything on it, so why put a link there? I’m on my home computer now, editing this entry. Maybe later I’ll try to create a link to my wiki. So far, all the links I’ve tried to create on my home computer are not working. I’ll try to figure out why when I’ve a bigger block of time to work at it. (I DID figure it out! I’m in EDIT mode right now, so those links DON’T link, but once I post this edited version, those links WORK.) This insight might seem pathetic, but I feel PROUD that I got it!

   I’m still pondering differences betw wiki and my blog. I liken my blog to leaving my journal lying around w/the pages open, inviting you (reader) into those pages. But only I can write in it unless I invite you in by leaving a comment section open at the bottom of each Post.

   Ach! I barely know what I’m saying! I feel like a First Grader!

   Thank you, Vicki Davis, (Cool Cat Teacher!) for writing comments in my blog! Way cool! This was so empowering, and how good of you! I made a connection. The blog worked!!! And, on my very first day of adding a link, which is so absolutely amazing! This makes the world seem smaller and bigger at the same time. We are (the whole world) connected! Thanks to this truly amazing tool called the internet, and this other amazing tool called blogging.

    What did I learn today? I learned more about RSS feeds, how to better check out GS’ blog , find things at home on my own. How do I feel? Kinda stupid, but hopeful. I look around the classroom and see others who are WAY further along in their grasp and understanding of all this content, but recall Geoff saying if  I become proficient at blogging and that is my main goal, why two thumbs up! So, yeah. That’s a realistic goal for me at this point. How might I use this in a classroom? Can’t yet. Don’t know enuf. But at least I know more about the possibilities!

   So, once again, thank you, Geoff. You rock, and so does your class! Muriel
