First Day of Class

Today is the first day of class and we are creating blogs. I am looking forward to this class because it will offer me the flexibility to study and learn more about things that I am already very passionate about. The first half of the semester should be a lot of fun. I am well versed in web 2.0 technologies and I feel like I can even further my knowledge to expertise level. I am a very self directed learner and when I get involved and invested in a project or learning task, I often find myself not being able to concentrate on other things until I have mastered the material. This can be both a good thing and a bad thing. I think it is good.....my wife tends to not agree. As for the second half of the semester, this will pose more challenges for me. I have never really been a very good group worker. I tend to want to complete tasks individually and am not comfortable giving up responsibilities. I suppose this will be a good thing or me to learn, as I am likely to be put in positions in the future where I will have to work in groups. Overall, I am excited and looking forward to the class. Ciao!
