Personal Blog Introduction

The development of a virtual community takes time ... we have an entire semester, but we'd like to get it started immediately.  Even though this is a face to face course, one of our goals is for us all to connect well beyond the walls of the classroom.  To that end, one of the first things we need you to do is to create a personal blog using the Blogs at Penn State toolset.  It is really very easy and if you need help you can visit the PSU Blogger Community Hub.This serves two important purposes for us ... one is so we can meet each of you and learn a little about you. Really all we are asking you to do is create a short introduction on your own blogs. This assignment has a second purpose as well , it gets you all in the space and posting right away. All we are asking you to do is create a quick post that adresses the following:Your nameWhere you're fromWhat are your interestsWhy you are taking this classAnything interesting about youHow would you describe your overall comfort level with the use of technology?Does technology interest you?Talk a little about how you see technology influencing teaching and learning.
