As of Monday evening, here are some additional thoughts from this week's learning activities.

Hello Everyone,

It is Monday evening, and I have had a little more time to explore working with PBWorks (2014), Twitter (2014), and Blogger (2014).  As West and West (2009) point out, some of the best things educators can do to prepare for teaching with technologies are to use the tools themselves, and share the experiences with others.  Accordingly, I can see that it will take a bit more time experimenting with some of these tools before I am entirely comfortable with them.  For instance, I apparently neglected to save changes that I made to my wiki a few times, because the edits were not there when I returned to it today.  
Please feel free to let me know what you think of my blog so far, including the links to my wiki and my Twitter accounts. 

Thanks,

Brian Johnson

Welcome to CollaborativePathsEDU651

Hello Everyone,
Welcome to my new blog, CollaborativePathsEDU651.  I have created a few other blogs before, so the process is familiar to me.  I already had a Gmail account, so I simply clicked on Blogger from the Apps tab in my browser window, after signing in to Gmail.  I look forward to sharing my experiences during this Ashford University course on Collaboration and Learning in a Virtual Environment.
