Angela Maiers, in
her latest blog post,
asked for some suggestions for people starting their
Web 2.0 journeys.
Here are a just a few:
1. Start with the pedagogy - always remember
that it isn't really about the technology, it is about the teaching and the
learning. Technology is a tool, it is a means to an end. "
It's not what the software
does, its what the user does

2.
Jump in - you have to start somewhere, go for it. If you are reading this
blog then you have already started. Take a look at my blog roll. Set up a
Google
Reader
, start reading lots of blogs, and comment. Comment a lot. We bloggers
love it when you comment. It makes us feel someone is listening. It is a great
way to start the conversation.
3. Join
Classroom 2.0
,
Twitter
and/or
Plurk
- make sure that you include
information about your self in the bio portion of your Twitter page and start
sharing. Send out several Tweets before you start following people. Then look at
my list of followers
and/or
people I am following and pick a few to start following. If they don't follow
you back, you can always send a message with @username. That will get through to
most people even if they aren't following you. I have a huge Twitter network, so
@lizbdavis is the best way to get through to me on Twitter.
4. Start blogging yourself - the act of
blogging has been an incredible learning experience for me. I never before
thought of myself as a writer, but the more I write the more comfortable I feel
about writing. Blog posts don't have to be long (and really shouldn't be) and
they don't have to be perfect. Just get your ideas out there. Tweet your posts,
link to other bloggers and you will be heard.
5. Attend conferences - Meeting my Online
