Thing 11: Community 2.0

I never minded sharing comments with another blogger, but after reading the two articles, I think I can be a better contributor to another person's blog. You know, I have begun to have a clearer understanding that Web 2.0 is a community. Like any community, you interact with others, share life's moments--ups, downs, and everything in between. It can really be vivid since we have the ability to be visual and auditory. The first time, I received a comment attached to one of my blog entries, I was ABSOLUTELY THRILLED! Someone had taken the time to respond to something that I had sent out into cyberspace. What are the odds of that!

This could really be a marvelous tool to use with students to support their writing and their learning. In fact, I have started to think about ways in which I might use a blog to get and give support from a group of ministry colleagues. This has been such a wonderful learning experience for me,but I tell you, my fear is that I will forget how to do the things I learned. I don't want to be crippled by not remembering how to do certain things.
