Technology

I have taken internet classes before, but none of the classes were anything like this class. This class used more outside sites which made the assignments more interesting while also letting me also expand my knowledge about other websites and how they can help teach. In all the other online classes I have taken, I was given assignments that didn’t require using other sources than the text books or the information from the blackboard, this class, because we used other sites, I feel I better understood the material.
What I liked the most about the technology we used in this class was the use of the blog. I had never used one before and I didn’t really understand how to use them. After using the blog this semester, I feel that it is a good way to learn and that it is a good way to get feedback on ideas and work. I also like the way that you get feedback so quickly and how it is set up. I was also happily surprised to be able to use glogster this semester. I had used the site in high school and I liked being able to use it again.
I will definitely keep using the blog in the future or create a new one. It is a way for me to express myself and to share what I’ve learned. I also hope that any other online class that I may take will also use sites like glogster and blogspot. The sites, I feel helped me better understand the work and see how others interpreted it as well.

  1. I agree about using the blog usage for this class. I have never written a blog and never read any until my sister started writing one about the happenings of her new baby. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I don't know if I will ever start a personal blog any time soon, but I think it's a great tool to know how to use for the future. Best of luck to you!

  2. I really liked getting the feedback from other students. Seeing another's vantage point who has the same (for the most part) information I had given me a lot more confidence in what they were saying. You can't get that sort of feedback from Blackboard very easily the way it is set up. I will deffinately be looking for ways to get my assignments out for more inspection in later classes now.

  3. Hey,
    I always thought that a blog was a great way to express thoughts and emotions on specific things. But I found this semester that it can also be used to write basic school papers! It was so great to express my thoughts as well this semester. I have never had a blog before, and it was a great experience this semester. Good luck in your future writings!
