I am very excited about to what extent I will be able to learn and interact in a virtual way via the internet and what it has to offer.  Flicker, Twitter, and blogging are all very new concepts for me.  Here i find I can establish a virtual identify that is different from my physical identity and control how I am looked upon by others who join me on these sites.  Setting up my own domains, GIFs, host-sites have forced me to step into a realm I never new existed and have already learned a lot.  This is only the first week of my participation of this course and I am excited to not only master internet tools but to learn from a virtual standpoint.
