Learning in the Big City

Well here I am in the big city of Toronto five hours away from the valley, writing my first blog. I have wanted to write one of these for some time now! Thank you to Colin and Michele for getting me started. What a journey I've had! It has been a great week for learning about identity, literacy, and place. Lots of theorizing and academic jargon to digest as well as the practical stuff,trying out Flickr, Facebook, Youtube, Virtual Worlds, and making a movie. Who would have thought that I could do this? Not me. The tech Luddite is making gains.
Haven't seen too much of Toronto yet other than getting to the site. I'm missing the radiant sunshine, splashing sounds of the Mississsippi, and calls of the birds back in C.P. as well as family.

Hey lady,
This week has just been incredible. I have enjoyed learning with you. You inspire me. Each day I am unraveling another part of your identity...and I think that you are such a cool chick! It has been fun "mucking about" on these computers this week...unfortunately, though, they may becoming "a bit of a problem" for both of us. ARGH! Great first blog! You are brilliant.

What do you mean you haven't seen much? We took a 25 mile round trip tour to Price Check.

Or was it Price Chopper?

Bonnie!!! Nice to meet you (even if only through email). Pooky has raved about you and states that she couldn't have asked for a better roomie! Trust me - to be rated at the "cool chick" level by my sister - you are definitely the cat's pajamas...have a wonderful week two!!!
