Web 2.0 Overload

So today I am feeling completely overwhelmed by all of the applications I am exploring. I just don't understand how full-time teachers who aren't technology specialists, will ever be able to keep up with all of this?

I am signed up with all of these additional social networking sites (Myspace, Bebo, Diigo, Twitter) but don't really see the advantages they have over Facebook.

The real issue is time management. I am looking at the list of tasks required of our Web 2.0 class and have decided that I am either
A) a slow learner or
B) not skimming these topics and spending too much time soaking up articles and bookmarked pages

I have a feeling I will always be someone that wants to read the "whole article", though. I started getting RSS feeds about Web 2.0 and had to go back and change my settings so that I wouldn't get them everyday. All it makes me feel is BEHIND!

  1. I'm right there with you on the "slow learner" side of things as well as feeling completely behind on everything. I'm just hoping that this was one of those lessons we are supposed to learn through trial and error - the absolutely overwhelming feeling of everything out there as opposed to actually finishing everything. Here's hoping.
