Mendy’s Thoughts: Web 2.0

It took me some time to figure out how to navigate through PageFlakes.  It helped once I actually watched the help video on it.  It was a pretty frustrating process because Woodward blocked You Tube and some of the other sites.  I couldn’t even access the K12 Learning 20 Template…it was blocked too.  I know You Tube wasn’t blocked on my computer earlier in the summer, so I’m not sure why it’s like that now.  So, once I got past that stuff, I was able to figure out how to use it.  I don’t really have great feelings about it…maybe because it was a frustrating process for me to put it together.  I guess I could use it for my students to do research and listen to podcasts, etc. all in one place.  To be honest, I’m just not a big fan of busy, busy websites that give you a headache.  That’s kind of how I feel as I look at my page flakes page.  I’m sure it’s great for some people, but I can’t see myself using this after this class is finished.  Man, I think I’m having a really bad day.
