Welcome to class…
As a Class Acts collaborator, I’ll take a moment to introduce myself. The name is Andrew Welch, the location is Williamsburg, VA, and the background is all-things Internet. I’ve pulled cables through walls, sat in class, managed Internet departments, and run an Internet company, but I have a specific interest in how we teach and learn online.
Ted, Julia, and I begin writing at the same time I am reorganizing myself online. I am the token Internet utopian in the group, so expect me to write often about the Internet as a positive force in society, about how our online identity is becoming an extension of our traditional identity, and about how students and educators will be most successful when they incorporate disruptive technology with their daily lives.
To that end, I am seizing this opportunity to reinvigorate my dormant personal blog. We’ll reincarnate “the Welch blog” after a 6-month hiatus. Most of what I post here–as well as on other blogs to which I contribute–will be aggregated to andrewdwelch.blogspot.com.
As for Class Acts… we’ll try to keep you informed and entertained. Tell your friends, tell the world, and tell us exactly what you think. The connected world is only as good as we allow it to become.
Track me down: andrewdwelch@gmail.com. I’ll be there.
