Thing #5

My opinion on Web 2.0 is that it is a wonderful asset to the world. Some of the technology that has emerge in toady's' world are things that I could have never imagined. Computers are in a class all by themselves. We have so many different types of tools and resources that it is unbelievable and I am only 25 years old and I remember the very first Mac I ever saw. And now, you have touch screen computers and computers that run by the sound of your voice and the Internet s a wonderful but also dangerous place. With technology including the Web 2.0 there comes a responsibility. I just hope that all this technology that our students are being exposed to is a way to embrace their creativity and intrigue their minds in a positive way.

Thing #4

I believe that commenting in the blogging process is so very important because it let's you see into others' thoughts, feelings, and creative side. We tend to have such a vague and misunderstood view of others and we really do not get to see what they are all about. I think that blogging is so wonderful because it can be just you in the process and people can see how you are with virtual reality. It is also a wonderful interactive tool as well for students. You can be anonymous in your post and just say how you feel. Students today have such a hard time expressing their feelings without being ridiculed and with blogging they have a way to be free in their thoughts and opinions.

Thing #3

I believe that blogs can be very useful especially within a classroom setting. Blogs can be accessible form a home setting making it very easy to get information to parents and not doing it the old fashion  way, and that would be by sending a note home. Sending a note home does not always mean that the parent gets it. The only barrier that I could think of would be i the family did not have a computer and in that case, the teacher would have to make accommodations to make sure that all the children in the class get the same information home. I believe that a blog is a great way for student to also get involved with the class as well and the teacher could make groups and have each group create their very own blogs and make it an interactive activity for the class as a whole. With the direction that technology is now going in, anything is possible and it makes possibilities so much more easy to obtain now. I believe that a blog is a great way to have some many interactive opportunities within a classroom

Thing #2

Setting up my blog was fairly easy. I was surprised by how easy is was really! i found that developing this blog gave me a way to be creative and creating my avatar was pretty cool because you can make her someone that you want to be or could be. I really enjoyed setting it up. When I see my work after it is done, I feel like some type of technology genius! My blog is now set and ready to roll!!! I now wait for all your comments and let me know what you think!!!

Thing #1

I believe that the tutorial on Life Long Learning was a lesson that we go through and learn every single day. We tend to forget that everyday life experiences give us that ability to better ourselves not only as individuals but as human beings as well. To speak for myself, everyday I learn something new and I don't care how big or small it is, it is something new. I feel that we tend to forget that we did not always know all of this information (or lack there of) that is within our heads. Many individuals believe that they are too old to learn and this is wrong as well. You are never too old to learn something new. And I believe that the older generation is the very best generation to learn from because they are so wise and you can gain so much knowledge from them. This is what makes life long learning a great source of information because it comes from everywhere and not just on place.
