Based upon my philosophy of distance education, I believe I am moving away from the static end of the static-dynamic continuum, closer towards the middle. I am an active participant in discussion boards and Wikis, and even Blogs! However, up until recently, my participation has not been as dynamic as it should be; in fact, participation has been rather mediocre, barely making par. In order to begin to move toward the dynamic end of the spectrum, I will personally reevaluate my 3 C's participation: Content, Collaboration, and Communication and develop strategies to increase my performance in these three areas. As Fahy (2008) asserts, "what the learner does with the media is more important than what the teacher does" (p. 171). As a learner, I will become more interactive with the media/technology made available to me via Walden University's eCollege and through the Internet.

Blogs that I found to be of great interest were Milton Francis' as well as Karen Connell's. I tried to be selective in my choosing, by not choosing teachers of the same subjects as my former specialization - mathematics - but inevitably, I have gravitated to like minds. Both Karen and Milton in their blogs, pose some interesting and controversial comments. Milton often had great insight and intellectually stimulating feedback. For both of these blogs I am appreciative!
