Learn 2.5

We are busy working on building out the Learn 2.5 blog for the new course. Things are gettting hectic as we discuss graphics and content and at the same time, continue to gather survey data and content ideas from you, our learners. Somewhere in my notes, I have a collection of possible module ideas and I will share them as soon as I can put my fingers on them.....here we go:

These ideas were shared with me by you the participants of the course. These are pretty much uneditted, I just copied and pasted them into a doc, so, in no particular order:

Life organization - (ok, I might need to study up on that one before we discuss it!!!)
Different features of tagging and open source
Technical vocabulary terms
Web safety - more of the darkside
Twitter
Hard Tech Skills - how to use software - This is more of the CRC's specialty
Open Source Software - Open Office, Firefox - We can share examples
"Anything that will get me on the web"
"Creating simple web pages for your business"
"How to improve your life" -
"More group activities" - that is a great idea and I will try to do just that.
"Ireporting. CNN has really embraced this"
Medical sites - WebMD
"On the same vain as google docs - we could have an all things google module talking about all the tools google has."

These are all great ideas and they are great start for the new course! Are you sure I can only do one module per month??? If you have an idea that you think would make a good module - add a comment and I will add it to the list! Thanks!
