Thing 17

http://roadtoprincipalship.wikispaces.com

I have spent the last week exploring wikispaces. It actually took the most time for me to figure out and I am not convinced I truly understand its uses although some ideas are coming to mind. During the process I actually created three different wikispaces trying to create one that seemed pertinent to my current personal and professional life.

As I started a new class today at Eastern Michigan University, I was quickly reminded of what is all consuming at this time, my K-12 Administration Certification. I began down this path in September 2009 and will continue for the next couople years. It then seemed reasonable for my wikispace to focus on this path to my future.

My next thoughts, will I want to focus on keeping my blog updated or my wikispace. Is it reasoable to expect that I focus on both and accept the interaction as part of my learning and experiences toward principalship? It is really great how the wiki can be edited by others. This means my thoughts can not be set in stone, which would never be a good thing. Yet, I like the pureness of contributing on a blog and knowing what I type can not be altered. It is my goal to maintain both sites and learn as much as possible from a variety of opportunities. I truly believe it is a benefit to have Web 2.0 become a part of my learning experiences as a future school leader. So, here we go!
