A bloggers virgin voyage into the world of social media!!

Ok, so today I took my head out of the clouds and joined the 21st century!!

Twitter, Yammer, Blogger, Moodle; a world of social media with with I am trying to get to grips. I never realised I was such a social media virgin, what was I doing when the information revolution hit?! Having babies, playing pool, working hard.......eek I have some catching up to do.

Day 1 of the rest of my life.
I now have a twitter account which I intend to use for professional purposes, and have stolen some people to follow from fellow co-workers. Not sure I know what I am doing, but I don't think it looks too difficult. Maybe I will need to persist a little, at the minute although I can see the potential value, I haven't come across any 'tweets' of interest.
My yammer account is in full swing, and I have used it to access teaching resources, Once I am more confident in the use of Yammer, I am thinking I will create a space and use it with my own students. This will be a huge step for me, at present I am using email to communicate with and send resources. However, I understand the limitations of this system; email can be too random and disorganised with no capacity to search.
Blogger: lets see how this post goes!! I set up the account (with a little help from a friend), but am not sure I will ever find my blog again ha. I do hope I can; can't afford to lose an hour out of my crazy busy life. I think I will copy and paste into 'Word', just in case. I am wondering who is actually going to read this? but then does it really matter, this is my reflective journal right.

I am hoping my steep learning cure will allow me to enrich both my own learning experiences in the short term and those of my students in the long term. Although I expect this will take a little while, I hope to persevere so as to reap the rewards. At  the minute technology seems to slow me down rather than speed me up, would you believe I am only 32? I am reading this and thinking my lack of  knowledge in the field of social media makes me sound much older than my years!!
