Good Times

Overall I enjoyed this class. I loved blogging. I have never blogged before but I think I just might start. I enjoyed reading what other people had to write in their blogs and their experiences with the different assignments. My favorite assignment was the one where we interviewed different generations or the You’ve Got Mail assignment. I enjoyed talking with different ages about their online usage. Our conversations went into more than just their online usage and it was very interesting. I love country music, so the fact that I got to watch Brad Paisleys video and writer about it was awesome. I really struggled with the internet abstinence. I use the internet so much, so 24 hours without was extremely hard.

The way the class was set up was perfect. Since it is an online class, taking tests can be a hassle. Only having a blog and discussion board was simple, fun and helped me learn. I didn’t think the books were too beneficial. I learned a little bit from Wood and Smith, but not very much from Postman. I enjoyed reading other peoples posts about the books because I picked up on things that I didn’t in the reading.

This class did make me think a lot about our society and how it revolves around technology. The internet is part of all most everyone’s daily life. I know I am on the internet quite a bit and it is part of my everyday routine. Now days we use the internet for communication, looking things up and even getting degrees online. I only have two classes to graduate and I am finishing up online so I can live at home and save money, which has been a life saver for me. I don’t think our generation could live without the internet because we have grown up with the convenience of it.

This class was well planned out and interesting. I enjoyed learning about different aspects of the internet and hearing what others had to say about the same subjects. I thought the assignments were interesting and made me really think about the subject and what I truly thought. I even learned some things about technology and the internet I didn’t know before this class. I have never blogged before so I had to learn how to set one up and posts blogs. This has enticed me to start blogging on my own life. Thank you for making this class entertaining and interactive. Most teachers just have you do the normal assignments and tests which can be boring and repetitive. I enjoyed the change in pace for this class, it was refreshing. I guess it is time for me to start my own blog and let my family and friend know what I am up to. I am looking forward to my future in blogging and using the internet for different methods of communication and research.
