The Whirlwind of Online Learning

This online learning experience has definitely been a bit hectic and is taking some getting used to. I am a bit overwhelmed thus far and trying to make sense of all of the new infomation that is being provided!
The in person meeting was informative and i am glad to have met my group members and to now be able to put a face to the names as we chat online! The moodle site is intense and holds a ton of information. It has been fun exploring the different links and learning about various uses of technology. All of the how to guides have been very useful and i have enjoyed the tutorials. Our group has decided to meet in gtalk and have all created gmail accounts in order to do so.
During the first week, i really enjoyed exploring the moodle website and cannot believe how much there is to see. I tried to go online daily in order to fully get the most of the site
This weeks assignments were definiely helpful in the learning process as they made me aware of my strengths and needs in the technology department. I was also able to read the syllabus in depth in order to further understand the expecations of the class.
Our first group meeting was very successful. We met for almost two hours and spent the time discussing moodle and any difficulties we may have had over the course of the week. As some group members are more experienced with online classes and more technology savvy, assistance was provided to those having difficulty. we discuseed the online tutorial and all seemed to feel that it was a great video that we all learned from. Our group really seemed to work well this first meeting and were able to communicate at ease!
