ETAP 687 Reflections

This is my first post to my reflections blog for ETAP 687, Introduction to Online Teaching, through SUNY Albany. I have to say, although I have taken several online courses previously, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment because I am learning many new things all at once (and its only the first day!)

I created a profile with Twitter (a brand new experience), signed up for VoiceThread (and am trying to figure out the whole record your voice thing-another new experience), and am doing it all in a new Learning Managment System (previously I have taken classes through the SUNY Learning Network and Blackboard) Moodle is new to me as well!

With all these feelings of apprehension, I have to say that I am very excited to be learning new applications and can’t wait to put together an online course that I can actually use!
