How "scholarly" are these reflections supposed to be? When I think of blogging, I think of journaling, which, in literature, as thought of as less "formal" than other forms of writing. With this in mind, I shall write my "thoughts" about week 2.
First, I must admit that I was quite overwhelmed during the first week, almost to the point of dropping the class. There were so many new platforms to learn in what I considered to be a short amount of time. Compounding this was the fact that I am also the master scheduler for my school, and last week was the first week of the new semester. Therefore, it was like a nonstop fire drill.
I was happy to concentrate this week on the varieties of state virtual schools. Most helpful were the links on the wiki pages. Since my big project (for school and work) involves designing and implementing a distance learning platform for homebound students, it was especially interesting to see the various levels of student, parent, and staff involvement that were present in the schools.
Since my district is comprised of public and charter schools, I will be intrigued to examine the charter and private schools next week.

These are not supposed to be scholarly but your own reflections on the week. I am hoping that you will see an evolution in your thinking by the end--but also that your thoughts at the time will prove useful later, when they might have been forgotten.
