Wikispaces: Another first for me

It's really great that this course has me blogging periodically, it's definitely helping me to reflect on my own learning by sharing it with the internet.

I'd also like to get a Facebook profile going though I'm thinking this is going to be less supported by my board as we used to have many workshops being offered that pointed out the many hazards of having our how personal profiles on Facebook and were discouraged from being friends with students.
