So far in this class, i have learned alot. I am one of those people that doesnt like to keep up with technology stuff and i sometimes dont want to try new things. Since being in this class, i have learned how to create my own website, how to create an online survey, how to post threads for discussions, how to make mind maps, and now i am learning how to create my own blog. Not only have i learned how to make these things, i have also learned about many important resources that are available to me. For example, the website called creative commons where people can share their ideas with others and choose how to do so.

In my classroom, i could use web blogs for some assignments. I could have all the students make an account with a website like this or i could have them post a blog on my own classroom website. This could serve the same purpose as the discussion section on blackboard. After we finished a project or went over some content, my students could communicate with their classmates about what they learned or what they still dont understand. Not only can they communicate with their own classmates, they could communicate with other people depending on their settings for their blogs. Again, i think that making my students use technology will help them to stay involved with everything. Assigning assignments like this is helping them outside of the classroom as well.
