Tapped-In seems to be a very informative site with a lot of options to help you when you’re just starting. I haven’t attended a Tips and Tricks tour yet because I signed up late. I am going to attend the one on Sunday at 4pm. I can’t wait to see the tutorial and figure out how it works so I won’t feel too lost when we use it! I think this space would be great for allowing online students to meet up and discuss issues in their classes but might be hard if you had to follow a set schedule because many of us take online courses to have a more flexible schedule to go along with our daily lives.

UPDATE:
I took the Tricks and Tips tour today as planned. It was very interesting and informative. I learned how to review profiles, move from chat to chat as well as have private chats. I also learned more about the calendar of events and saw a few office pages with links on how to join groups. Overall I think the tour was pretty effective in showing you a few of the ropes around tapped-in but my main issue was that i kept getting sent back to the original chat room where we started. Luckily, I learned quick that if you want to go back to a room where a person is you just have to type…./join DianneA…that was the person that directed our tour. It was certainly an interesting experience! Goodluck with your tours!
