Free Online Genealogy Course with FutureLearn (Week 1)

[mogwood]

I'm another one who finished the first week last night, didn't expect to but just kept reading and clicking through, with the occasional flurry into the conversations, and reached the end before I knew it.  I plan to go back again tonight, have a quick re-read of everything, and catch up with some of the comments, and with any Rootschatters I haven't found yet.

Last thing I did was to add your logo, Deirdre, so I guess I'll change it to the official one so that it matches everybody else, though I feel a bit guilty same as others.  Thanks very much for the inspiration though, because there's no way I was ever going to remember everybody's names

I agree it isn't the easiest of sites to negotiate when it comes to following comments. It is nice to get "likes" and find at one time that your comment is amongst the most likes. 

Good to get full markss on the quiz first time, but not difficult for anyone here as it deals we stuff we are always mentioning.

 Compare the comments on this course where people are being courteous, helpful and supportive to the comments sections on online newspapers where people are often  rude and abusive. So refreshing!

I must admit as well, that people on this course do seem friendlier than on some of the other courses I've done. Occasionally on those you get "know it alls." On one course I did there were a group of people who knew each other from other courses and ganged up on people, making disparaging remarks and veiled comments. They were reported to the Educators and some of the remarks were removed. I'm sure this course wont be like it.

Signed up earlier in the week, but just started this afternoon.  Done 10 of week 1 so far, so still a way to go.

I was under my own name, but now changed it to Jeanne Jaybelnz and added the Rootschat Logo!

Having a bit of difficulty navigating the discussions etc, haven't even found a familiar name yet, there are so many, but I might have another go at that tonight, after some brain food and before I tackle the rest.

Have changed my profile picture to Trystan's logo, and changed my name to Spidermonkey Rootschat - don't mind changing it back to my real name, but thought it would be easier to 'know' me using my RC name.
