Today was the first day of the open educational technology course called #ETMOOC that Neil posted about in December. I rushed home from school by 4:00 pm so that I wouldn’t miss anything. Well, I found the weblink for Blackboard Collaborate and logged into the session only to wait, and wait, and wait. Now, I’ve done webinars before and I thought it might simply take a few minutes, but I was still waiting after 10 minutes! So, I decided to problem solve and went to the #ETMOOC blog. Thankfully, there was a Twitter feed. I’m a little scared of joining Twitter (too much information, too often) but I discovered that I wasn’t the only one having issues logging on! Someone tweeted that they reinstalled Java and that solved all of their problems. So thank you to my fellow #ETMOOC participant for solving my technical issue. Now, I just have to figure out where I can listen to what I missed. . .
