Reflection on Things on a Stick Process

I'm feeling a little frustrated with the "Things on a Stick" blog. I have found it very hard to navigate and the links seem really overwhelming to me. I've been having a difficult time understanding exactly what we should be doing versus what the other people (that the blog was designed for) should be doing. I am beginning to think that my absence on the first class meeting is really catching up with me. Or this blog seriously needs a re-design to be more user friendly.

Even this blog has been giving me error messages in some sort of technological code that makes no sense to me. Hopefully this one will actually let me post.

I guess this process confuses me because I have used many of these things before. Many of the "things" I completed before I ever saw the website. While I see the benefit of working with these mediums to become familiar with them, personally, I have a difficult time considering then out of context. What I mean is that I would prefer to explore how other teachers have used them in the classroom context before playing with it on my own. I'm really hoping that the class discussion will help quell some of my concerns and frustrations.
