7# Feedback on web 2 so far
Thought I'd post a few thoughts about the web 2 program so far. While it's fun to learn to use these applications I think the expectation that we would ony need 15 mins for each activity is way off the beam. Given the fact that most of us are trying to do this in work time, and that work related technology is not always fast or helpful, this estimate is not accurate and should be taken into consideration if the program runs again. The instructions for the various activities and the links aren't always obvious or helpful and one of my collegues suggested that it would be useful to have a teacher look at the program to make it more user friendly. This would also lower the frustration levels for those who are trying to make the program work. Also making sure in advance that the links and instructions do work would be helpful. We always berate teachers who set assignments for students without first checking that the answers are readily accessible and that the materials are available, the same should apply to the web 2 program.

#3 To blog or not blog that is the question
Had an interesting conversation, the aural variety, with my 22 year old daughter who communicates with me via Facebook too and we both agreed that blogging is not the be all and end all of communication and that far too many private thoughts are being aired in public. This from a very savvy computer user was interesting and made me feel that I'm not such a dinosaur to think that face to face conversation, private diaries and the good old phone call are still the way to go.

Finally seems to be working!
Well I've finally made it into the blog to post this. Seemed to go round and round in circles and not like me very much. Must admit that facebook is a hell of a lot easier to use. This is very clunky a bit like the instructions for the learning program. Hmm we'll see what happens with the next week.
