Over the course of this semester, we have learned many diffrent ways to use technology, and apply it in everyday life. first and foremost, the biggest thing that I have learned, is taking an online class isnt as easy as one might think. It is very convienent because you can do things at your own pace, work ahead if you like, or if you're like me, slack off untill the day its due. I have learned that this doesnt work most of time, especially when you have a 4 page paper due that day. Over all however, I think that online learning is great, maybe not for an engilsh class for me, but hey, I still got thru it.
Second, I have learned numerous ways to use creative web sources. First is a blog. Its amazing the things that I never knew you could do with a blog. You can post pictures, videos, create things called Glogs and post them to your blog. The possibilites are almost limitless. The second thing that i have learned about technology is all of the diffrent means of communication. You can actually video chat with your pofessor. Its awesome.
The thing that i will probally use the most after this class will be all of the presentation sites that we have learned. I created my first Glog today, and actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Its amazing the diffrent technologies that i have learned, and they just keep getting better. The site called Prezi.com is amazing, Its very similar to a powerpoint presentation, however its so much more interactive, and fun. The way it engages the audience with motion, videos, sound and awesome graphics is simply amazing. I cant wait to create a presentaion using it.
All said and done, Technology in english 102 is great. ive learned tons about how to use them in diffrent ways, and definately to my advantage.
