Well, I have spent a lot of time this week learning to navigate the new world of Web 2.0. I just thought I knew a little about this environment, and realize I really know much less. I am finding all this information interesting, but having a challenge to keep from being overwhelmed with so many options from which to choose.
I am a digital immigrant, so my communications comfort zone is more one-on-one, face-to-face or via a phone conversation. Even though I have used email, chat, discussion boards and other forms of online communication, I have not ventured into the use of very many Web 2.0 tools. While dipping my toes in the water this week, I am still a little anxious about going further and staying directed at the same time. I'm looking forward to getting past the breaking waves and into the calmer waters of understanding.
Just take a little step forward each day.
ReplyDeleteBeing overwhelmed right now is totally normal (just posted the same thing over on Julie's blog). It's part of starting to experience it all in a more 2.0 way, which involves developing a new sort of information/tool/time management skill. It's OK to be a bit undirected at times here and to just explore. You'll learn through those explorations.
