Shelly's first blog

Yeah! I have just learned how to create a blog. I have responded to blogs before but never created one. It is good to learn new things about technology, but it is hard to find the time to do it!

Here are a few things that I have learned from my class:
  • Web 2.0 is an interactive application available on the internet
  • Web 2.0 is important because so many interactive sites are blocked by filters
  • A wiki can be edited by anyone who visits that site
  • I learned how to look up policies from other school divisions
  • Blogs are not that hard to create
  • Hold the control key down and use a left mouse click to open word documents or go to web sites
  • If teachers do not keep up with available technology then students will miss out on valuable information and we will be leaving them behind (and possibly ourselves)
