Web 2.0 is definitely learning of the future, or should I say "my future" because there is no way possible, adults before my generation could possibly keep up with all of this. I think Web 2.0 is a great course of advanced technology within education because it doesn't limit the students to strict pen and paper. It allows them to branch out cognitively and socially. My students will have to create weekly journals through the blog as a reflection of their development in class and to enhance their technology knowledge. Sources such as Power Point 2007, facebook, blogger, Internet (google) and may more are forms of web 2.0 and can assist students if used appropriately.

I am ANTI-wikipedia when it comes to learning because your are able to edit and ad information. Thus proving that the information posted is not reflecting accurate, non bias data, but the opinion of the editors. Wikipedia is a form of blogging and should be ban for research purposes because it misguides users. My instructors my freshman year in college prohibited us from using wikipedia because of its information and if anyone was caught using it, there was a 25 point deduction from your paper.

I know this may sound unbelievable, but I never knew how to construct a Power Point until I started taking this class. I was just never interested in learning how to do it. In high school, I would provide the information for the power point and allow everyone else to piece it together. But thanks to EME 2040, my Power Points ROCK!!
