Week 3 of class 520

Week three was fun!!! I actually started a great conversation during the session about home schooling.  I'm not a fan of home schooling, I think a student would not be as social as if they were in a public/private school.  I think home schooling is more for parents to have control of their kids and like someone said also their spiritual belief.  Other than that, we talked about different tools and worked with our groups a lot this week. I like my group team Zombie, even though I love Vampires, ha! I'm a twilight fan!!! We work well together, we used google + hangout again, they actually introduced me to that. 

Some of the tools that we learned or talked about in class this week, we used in our previous classes.  So the assignment was a little easy. One tool I didn't like a lot or didn't help me a lot was toxbox.  The website didn't help much. I don't think I would use that one personally.   Week three was a fun week for me, again.!!! I'm enjoying this class more and more.

...Until next time.....

Exploring Week 2.. WIKI's and all....

This week during class, I thought we were going to have a lot of work, but it wasn't.  I actually had fun doing my evaluation assignment and using the chat via our wolfmail. Shawn Beatty has been helping me with my form. I was confused at first but I fixed the little issues I had and now my evaluation form works fine.  Dealing with WIKI's for the second week was wayyyy easier.  I never used WIKI before and my first week I struggled. I was putting my answers under comments lol.  I now know that I should edit the document first then post my thoughts. 

Reading how people feel about Wikipedia was another assignment.  After reading that assignment my thoughts/feelings about Wikipedia remained the same.  I go back and forth with Wikipedia and use it as a starting point, but I won't say it's a very bad source site to go view.

Learning how one should search the web was a good reading assignment as well.  I like the NETS that we should look for when searching the web. If we use those, then we all will be better searchers. I am learning a lot this week in class.  Let's see what next week has to offer...

First Week of Internet Learning Resources class

My first week of Internet Learning Resources class was nice, quick, and enjoyable.  I enjoyed this class from the start because the instructor was interesting to listen too. I can't really explain how exactly he's different from the others, but this one instructor seems to be so cool and understanding.  I can understand him better than my last class.  Maybe because my last class dealt with more teachers, and since I'm not a teacher I felt a little left out of the class. I didn't talk or participate as much, but for this class it seems like it's going to be different.  I'm looking forward to this class and the possibilities it has to offer.
