Getting connected

I've spent the past few days being sure I've tagged things properly, added groups, and added contacts where need be for all of the tools, Flikr, and delicious primarily. This alone is quite a time-consuming task. At this point I feel as though I'm just getting familiar with functionality and haven't had the luxury of time to consider thoughtfully how these tools will help people, staff and students, think. I'm expecting that the first half of this course is designed specifically this way and that the second half will be more reflection and thinking. I hope so anyway.
