Skype Session

It was nice to finally participate in a Skype session. I was able to meet most of my classmates in the virtual forum, and Glen was an excellent moderator for the proceedings. There were a couple of glitches that inevitably appear in these types of technology driven processes, but my overall impression was positive. In fact, I am looking forward to the next online meeting. The interactive DimDim and Mind Map programs were really cool(unfortunately, my computer was unable to connect to the whiteboard in the DimDim session - it sounded like fun, anyway). I might consider hosting a DimDim meeting, if I can coordinate my schedule to accommodate such an event. I'm starting to amass a literature review for the final paper. I've archived a few general ICT articles in my del.icio.us site, including one I found in Glen's reader. They appear under a tag entitled, not surprisingly, ICT. I plan on visiting as many del.icio.us links as I can on the other course blogs. I'll provide some feedback regarding my success in the collaborative process. Hopefully, I can make some progress in crafting my paper in the next few days. Time is rapidly slipping away, and I tend to procrastinate(as you may have noticed!). In conclusion, I'm banking on the user-friendly social software we've learned about to compensate for my sketchy time-management skills. Only time will tell...
