It is so great to learn from each other as we are in this class. The different perspectives are so valuable! I just want to record here in my blog some great ideas gleaned from the discussions (in no particular order). I want to use these ideas and not forget them, so it seems this is the best place to record them since I have way too many sticky notes on my monitor and file cabinet!:
1. JAWS – a great reader program for visually handicapped students. Younger students may need help, but could listen.
2. Two-button mouse can be used on a Mac! They don’t come with one, but can use one. Also, cntrl + click is the same as right click on a PC.
3. Avatar – this was confusing, but I like this explanation (Jamison, I think) “a digital representation of yourself.” Simple, so why did I have the confusion?
4. Second Life – an online virtual world available for all who wish to enter. I will check out Ohio University Second Life Campus.
5. Concept Map – Use for a syllabus! (Thanks again, Laura) The other ones are boring anyway.
6. Concept Map – Curved lines are something I never thought of. That is a great idea to portray that re-visiting the concept may be necessary.
7. Student e-portfolios – I need to check into this for my daughter. However, if I could make a good template, this is something that I think our school would really like. I will need to do more research. They will want it VERY secure.

Sharon, it is great to read your list related to your learning this week! It will especially be entertaining to you as you look back months from now and laugh to think that any of these were new to you!
Glad you are open to the e-portfolios - sounds like you are ready to lead your school towards its use. Takes one to give an example!
Thank you! ~ Datta Kaur
