Wow didn’t realize I would need a blog – so I’m going to just write right now and decide what platform to use – thought about blogger or wordpress but wordpress is tricky on a mac.

Also needed to set up a twitter acct.  I think I did this a long time ago but am not a big twitter fan – sigh did so anyway – now gotta figure out how it works

Set up my profile, I’ve often been a bit careful with my public profile but went out there on this one, hope it doesn’t bite me.

I’ve been working about two and a half hours, reading the articles and viewing the videos.  It makes more sense now as how it can work, but we’ll see.

Back to deciding on a blog site…..

Hmm, popped into twitter – argh!  Not sure it’s my cup of tea – it’s almost schizophrenic!

So now I see the importance of a clear course map and perhaps even a "heads-up" note BEFORE class starts letting students know if they need things like twitter or a blog site.

I think I've done most of what was required - it's now 4:06 - hmm three hours spent just getting set up and starting to read.  This may take more time than I expected.

Am also glad that I can go back and edit - typos - shesh!
