Reflection--August 28th 830 Class

So far so good. It looks like 830 will be an interesting class. I particularly enjoyed the group exercise in which we defined Web 2.0. I was recently asked about Web 2.0 in a meeting and was able to talk about it being collaborative in nature, but this exercise helped clarify my thinking. One group talked about the web user's evolution from a consumer of information to a co-creator of information, and that rang true for me. I have an interest in leadership development and am beginning to see more clearly how 2.0 technologies can enhance that process, particularly by providing geographically disperse leaders/managers with a way to share their experience and learn from peers.

The textbooks also look to be very interesting, not just as resources for this course, but in their own right.

Finally, I have to say I missed Walter, who was unable to attend the first class. He's quite ill, and I wish him a speedy recovery.
