MODULE 1

Ok, i have finally started this course, and its only my second semester enrolled!! My name is Stuart Pearce and I teach Science at All Saint Catholic Boys College in Liverpool. This is my third year teaching, and am pleased to say that i am enjoying the experience- at least most days. 

The concept of Web 2.0 is a fairly new one to me. I have gotten used to the idea of the internet as simply a large database, from which information can be retrieved as needed. I thought working collaboratively was limited to bouncing emails between people. Likewise for publishing and sharing information, i understood it to be solely one way. 

However it appears i will have to re-think my position on not only how to use the net, but how best to apply it to my teaching practice. Some of the concepts discussed in the source material seem really interesting, i am looking forward to exploring some of these new tools and programs.
