I keep forgetting to update my blog. This past week I worked collaboratively with another classmate to create a webquest that ended in a wiki for the students. The process was seemless. I did notice that to hash out the big ideas, the telephone was still the best resource. Once the big ideas were hashed out, however, the questgarden webquest site was very user friendly. It allowed you to work and then post comment, questions, concerns and needs in the checklist section. The next person in can see your work and your comments and then begin working. The process was seemless. It was also good to have someones elses ideas stretching me. I do what I do, which is true of anyone. I was forced (in a good way) to consider someone else's point of view and the value in their ideas. I came out of my little box. I did something that required me to think and stretch. It felt good.

I am just getting started on our webquest. Not only will the webquest be a challenge, but the means of communication will also be new. Everytime I turn around I am being stretched. I get that uneasy feeling as I tackle a new application. In my head I feel like it is good to always be learning, but the reality is that it is hard. I have learned that I do best one step at a time. Don't look at the whole of what I have to master, just look at the next step. One thing at a time. I look forward to having this behind me and having confidence once again in a new skill. I definately like the end result. It is worth the effort, but I doesn't erase that uneasy feeling as I begin.
