Hi all,
Well, hopefully, the link to Henry Jenkin's latest blog entry posted. Be sure to read the May 4, 2009, blog entry (at top of blog) -- it's an awesome pro-web 2.0 article. Basically saying what everyone on Live Journal knows -- blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc, can be positive learning tools today -- and educational institutions shouldn't "fight the tide" as it were, but should actively pursue using these tools in a positive way. Woo hoo!
Another positive note. I now have satellite internet at my house! It's fantastic to actually have speeds at home that are faster than at work. And it sure beats dial-up! Expect a lot of activity as I try to get caught up.
I'm also starting classes myself. I'm just taking a few computer classes at the local community college to upgrade my skills (we call it "professional development"). I'm also seriously looking at MIT's Comparative Media/anthro/history program. Yipes. Scary as h.e. double-hockey sticks, but considering how poor my working situation is at the moment... I honestly don't know which is worse (or better depending on how you look at it).
That's all for now,
Olivia
