Thing 7 Wiki

Thing 7 Wikis

Wikis have an interesting dynamic because of their structure.  They seem to have boundless avenues to information and embody a great deal of information without much oversight..  A person can become overwhelmed by the wealth of information at one's fingertips.  It is important to keep in mind that while a Wiki is informative and most of the times substantive it not always monitiored to mitigate misinformntion and/or propaganda spreading.  

The things that stood out ot me about the Wiki pages and presentations that I looked is that the information given about the their existence was consistent.  The Wiki sites I observed were not particulary of content that I would need or want, but it made me curious if there are wikis out that I might be interested.in searching.. I consistently use Wikipedia.as a source of information. Generally I cannot cite information a paper that I may do for school; however if I want look up general information quickly it is the best and most current encyclopedia available.

Thing 9

Thing 9 I used Zoho Docs to pull in a document form my Google docs.  I then created a an HTML version and posted to my blog.  I have used the compose the HTML to post the document. above.  I was able to embed it into this post.  I t makes me wonder how I can use HTML to embed other thing into my profile.  I remember something like this from my MySpace profile back in the day.  I often wandered how HTML  worked with respects to creating a profile.  It makes me want to fiddle with it some more to make things work in a more aesthetically pleasing way.

Thing 6 Mosaickr and others

I like the Wordle application for the classroom because it allows students to visualize the importance of words.  How many times a word appears not what makes it important but it size gives it greater importance.

Thing 4 The Raft of Medusa.

I saw this painting when I was at The Louvre this summer. I loved this photo because of the black at the top of the raft.  The photo depicts how men regardless of race had to bond together to survive.

I am hopeful my luck and production in the future are much better.

7 ½ Steps to Lifelong Learning

1.The habit that will be the hardest for me to consume will be habit 4 which is having confidence in myself as an effective learner. I often doubt myself and am unsure if I can master something new at this stage. I often wander if I can manage the new task in my life with all my other responsibilities.

 

2. The habit I am most comfortable with is Habit 7, teaching and mentoring others. I feel that has been my area of expertise and specialty for years.  I believe I can always encourage others to have faith in their own learning abilities.  I wish could consistently give myself the same encouragement.

3. The lifelong learning contract is something I believe I have been doing throughout my life.  I currently teaching myself to play the piano and speak Spanish and Portuguese more fluently.  I learned So much traveling internationally this summer to London and Paris.  I feel that as I grow as person that learning becomes a refreshing experience.
