End of year

I have to say that overall, this class has turned out to be one of the most informative classes I have been in. What I find amazing is that the class is merely scratching the surface of the capabilities technology will contribute to education. This is a very exciting time to be in education. If this class did not exist, which it didn't when I earned my first degree, it might have been years before I discovered all the applications google has to offer; applications that I will now use, not only in education and professional settings, but in my personal life as well. I actually just updated my phone, which is powered by google, so part of this blog was done on the way to my laptop. Kids: Don't try that at home! I can do research on my phone now. I can access my iGoogle page and GMail. I can go to classes around the world, via second life, while on a road trip. There are things I know I will be able to do now, that I would have had to discover by word of mouth or eventually, on my own. There are things I can do now, that I haven't even thought about yet! The only downside to this class, which I wish I hadn't heard about, is its being reformatted or whatever terminology applies. I wish I could take it again. I know I can follow blogs now and what not; this class has set me on a good direction, I just wish there was another requirement or level or whatever. I guess that is just what learning does, forces me to want to learn more.
