Pieces are falling into place as the support system comes into play. I really appreciated that and the fact that we are now having more in-class practice with someone to scaffold us. Thanks SusanMarandi.

Today we worked on Delicious; another new tool and of course many links and bookmarks to keep. The concept is good in that we have something that can be accessible like a phonebook which does not have a particular physical space but the volumes that one filters thru can be a drag. Over time, a person may acquire the bookmarks that one wants and just browse thru the network rather than importing. This may take an extra click, but then there is no ‘rush’ in filling. I still have to work on this a bit more to get the hang of it and maybe my opinions will change.

The other one was working with Flickr. I like seeing pictures or images on blogs or any other sites but feel some reservation to putting up an ‘image’ of me or my experiences. Maybe I am still old-fashioned. When I watched the other people, I feel like maybe I’m imposing into privacy. So, I need to deal with this social networking. What does it really, really mean? Are there certain boundaries and limits other than the ettiquet that is prevalent amongst the members? Need to work on these thoughts more to feel real comfortable in using this tool.

The aggregator or RSS is still a fuzzy realm. I’ve signed up with Bloglines and am searching into Google Reader. I theoretically comprehend the usefulness but haven’t actually experience it. Maybe it can be related to not having built the account for myself. So, have more discovering and wondering but still not time. Actually, if time could just stand still and let me just finish this process, it would be ideal.
