Here is a space where BaW07 participants may add their personal goals for this course (if you wish) and revisit as goals change or are achieved:

Personal goals for BaW-07

Penny Lundquist

to learn how to use a wiki to work on projects with my colleagues
to figure out how I might incorporate distance learning into the Teaching Excellence Center program
to learn how to incorporate wikis and blogs into the teachingexcellencenetwork.org site

Nina Liakos (Maryland, USA)

to increase my comfort zone with a variety of e-tools and e-toys - not achieved to my satisfaction! There is still much to do
to explore those tools I didn't have time to explore last year, in particular podcasts and wikis - Podcasts no; wikis, yes!
to lend a helping hand to the "newbies", as people did to me last year - I think I did this!
to become familiar with wikis. I'd like to use a wiki for my class at the University of Maryland - yes. I have been using 2 wikis for my class: http://005spr2007.pbwiki.com and http://005readingspr2007.pbwiki.com. One is a repository for general information for the class, and the second is an interactive site where students respond to questions about the books they are reading. I also got some intense wiki practice while doing the threads for Week 4. But there's still a lot to learn: I've been working mainly with text--no bells or whistles yet!
to make new friends around the world! - achieved, definitely! Let's stay in touch!

Daf (Caracas, Venezuela)

to help participants to achieve their goals

Teresa (Lisbon, Portugal)

to give our moderators and co-moderators the chance for additional or first-time experience at e-moderation
