Final thoughts and not good-bye!

For my final blog post for Comm 534, I thought I would simply let everyone know how much I have enjoyed being in this class.  I can see what a wonderful thing it is to have a cohort of students to share classes with for an entire year.  You are such a great group of people I think I will honestly miss seeing you every week.  I hope when you are on campus you will feel free to stop by my office and say hello (ASC 301A). 

 

I have learned a lot in this class and am very happy I took it.  Sadly, I have to confess I will not miss the weekly blog postings!  I may keep my blog for a while to see if I get the urge.  I may find I enjoy it a lot more without the pressure of having to post something when I am not in the mood.  My greatest struggle was always WHAT to write about?!

 

And – no surprise here I bet – I will actually continue to enjoy my second life in Second Life.  Actually, I may even create a third life for those times when I want to be completely anonymous – LOL.

 

My next technology adventure will be the purchase of an Iphone, which I am really looking forward to.  In doing my final paper, I found a great video called “Connected” that is a marketing tool for a small private college in Texas who is handing out Iphones to all incoming freshman.  It is a great example of how the phone can be used both in and out of the classroom.  In case you are curious, the link for the website is http://www.acu.edu/technology/mobilelearning/index.html.  Right now I am torn between splurging on a Nikon D80 Digital SLR camera or the Iphone.  Both require $$ so I will have to budget for whatever I choose.

 

Now I am off to pack for my trip to NYC while my avatar, Debbie Rubble dances in SL at the Dogglounge.  At least one of us is having a good time.

 

Again, I look forward to seeing everyone around campus!  Don’t be a stranger.
