Course Readings/Activities

I just want to take a brief moment to share that I have really enjoyed reading the course materials and doing the assignments thus far.  I am a very data driven person and often that makes me not gravitate to new ideas until I see them working and researched for a period of time.  Knowing this about myself I think this class has pushed me to read about the success others have had in the area of education with using social media.  I think this course has opened up my willingness to try some of the more common forms of social media by building my confidence in the usefulness and safety of the programs themselves.  I'm finding my way with the technology and think it is great I can work with another person on this task so I can learn from my peers and they can help me grow and learn to use some of these tools in my "real world".  Thank you for this opportunity.
