To answer your question, I am taking an online course from the University of Rhode Island called "Using Blogs and Wikis to Foster Literacy". It is designed for educators as a continuing education requirement in the School of Education. So far it is excellent. The entire course is taught from the instructor's Blog. The instructor is Dave Fontaine and he is an internet librarian. <BR/><BR/>I think that is great that you are including it your curriculum for your OT students. I'm sure that we haven't even imagined yet, how they will incorporate it into their practice and the profession. Thanks!

I am trying to incorporate Web 2.0 tools like Blogs and wikis with my OT students here at the UofA. It didn't really occur to the students that blogs could be used as a professional networking tool. One of the students called her blog Oh Tea! It was great. She especially enjoyed it when she received a post from Merrolee Penman in New Zealand! They have been pleasantly surprised by the connections they made in a short time. <BR/><BR/>Please do link my blog to yours as I want to spread my networks too :-) Thanks!Anita Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905694883058081499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8593723229740118661.post-82527094956772706972008-06-10T20:20:00.000-06:002008-06-10T20:20:00.000-06:00Anita, I agree, this is such a great tool!

I am impressed by the number of OT students blogging and have really enjoyed reading their posts. I would love to put a link to TechnOT on my blog. If it is Ok with you. My blog is not really ready yet. Right now, I'm learning the technical part of setting it up. Basically, I have one entry and a picture (which is not centered correctly) But, I will get there soon and would love to share it then. <BR/><BR/>I just watched your Youtube videos. Thanks for including them. How very cool it was to watch the "magic flute." <BR/>Thanks for sharing your great ideas.

I'd love to list your blog on mine if you want. I used to say I would never blog because I thought it was "cyber-karaoke". Now I believe it is one of the most amazing tools for us to use for networking and growth of our profession! If we believe enough in what OT is about then I think we should share it! :-)<BR/>Cheers, Anita.Anita Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905694883058081499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8593723229740118661.post-77602206781875710602008-06-10T14:23:00.000-06:002008-06-10T14:23:00.000-06:00Hi Anita, I just wanted to leave a note to let you...Hi Anita, <BR/>I just wanted to leave a note to let you know that enjoyed reading your blog today. I'm new to blogging... taking a class and starting my own and trying to find other OT already doing this. I'm still an old fashioned emailer, but see the potential for us to communicate and share in a much easier fashion. I can't wait to have some time to come back and read more. <BR/>Thanks for your work. <BR/>Cheryl SimmonsCShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944288615151391240noreply@blogger.com
