This is my last post for this class and its seems appropriate to look back on what I have got out of the experience:

  • I’ve become an avatar four or five times over.
  • I’ve strutted my stuff in second life (and walked into a lot of walls in the process).
  • I’ve seen elearning from the outside and elearning from the inside.
  • I’ve seen what’s been, what’s here, what’s to come and what’s really out there!
  • I’ve caught the del.icio.us bug and even learned how to type del.icio.us without having to concentrate really hard
  • I’ve sold JuJu beans (but I haven’t mastered typing JuJu with making at least one mistake - practice makes perfect!)
  • I’ve had more emails in my home email than my work email (and that’s saying something!)
  • I’ve posted essays in a pubic space (now that is nerve wracking!)
  • I’ve seen the good the bad and the ugly of elearning
  • I’ve felt old (there’s nothing like new technology to do that!)

Am I still an elearning skeptic? Sure, but I’m a much more enthusiastic, informed, experienced and even a little evangelical skeptic.  A little skepticism is a healthy thing I think. 

Thanks Anne, the JuJus and all my EMT 1 coleagues, its been fun.

The elearning skeptic.
