I would consider myself somewhat fluent in online class navigations. Almost all of the work that I do for my classes revolve around knowing how to use different blogging and website platforms. I feel very prepared for the work that I will be doing in this online class.
However, there is always room for improvement. I am not familiar with graphic creations so I am looking forward to playing with those different technologies and learning how to use them. I am also not very familiar with Wikipedia sites. I didn't even know that you could create your own website off of Wikipedia like professor Gibbs is using for Indian Epics.
I enjoy working in Google Docs, that is something that is very useful in my classes especially for group projects so everyone can work on the same document or slideshow at the same time and see edits made in real-time.
I really like the online classroom environment. I like being able to complete my work on my own time and even get ahead if I need to.

Ha ha, I love (LOVE) that gif, Chelsea! And it is very exciting to meet students who are already taking advantage of the amazing digital tools that are now part of our everyday life online. When I first started teaching online way back in 2002 that was before Twitter, before Google Docs... Yahoo was actually bigger than Google back then, which is kind of hard to believe! And I will be adding some more Tech Tips to the list this semester, exploring some new things. Something totally new for me this semester, for example, is Flipgrid. It is so popular with my K-12 teacher friends that I just had to try it! Have you used it before? I will be so curious to know what you think if you give that a try; I just got it set up yesterday:

If people like that, I'll add more topics where we can connect and share through our class Flipgrid in addition to the text and images at the blogs!
