Well, we are now well in to this course and gradually getting to know the team supporting us.  Compared to the average MOOC this has a small number of students, about 100 I believe, but it means that we stand a chance of getting to know others in the group and luckily Some friends are also on this course.  The theme today is Online Networks and there is an emphasis on Facebook and Twitter groups.

I have been a member of both of these communities for several years but tend to keep Facebook as a personal network, whilst twitter is more about books, education etc.  Today I have set up a Facebook page linked to my blog and it is called Margaret’s reading shelf; this has also enabled me to add a few links on my blog page as well.  I have also joined several groups that I am interested in.

I have also looked at twitter and followed the Rudai23things account.  My own account is @booklib61 and you can recognize me by the wonderful image of a unicorn as my avatar.  it was given to me as a present by the lovely and very talented Sarah McIntyre who is heading the great campaign “Pictures mean Business”

Going through this sequence of resources is really making me think about what I want to do with them.  As with so many things we tend to get a bit complacent, mainly because there is never enough time to do all the things we want to.  Aah well, we can but try!!
