2. One of my lifelong learning goals is to always stay on top of new technology. This class has opened my eyes to a vast variety of new teaching tools. Most of these tools I had never even heard of, before taking this course. Even though, I gained a great deal of new information on tools I already had previous knowledge on.

3. I feel that all the information that was discussed in this course was a takeaway. I gained a lot of new information on familiar and unfamiliar topics. This was a great course, jammed packed with useful information. I would not call anything a surprise, though.

4. I, honestly, could not ask for anything else. Everything was straightforward, step-by-step and interesting/useful. The interaction and hands-on aspect of this course, kept my interest throughout.

5. I would love to participate in another discovery program like this in the future.

6. INTERESTING, INFORMATIONAL AND VERY USER-FRIENDLY

Thing 22- Nings

The Nings were very interesting and user friendly. Although they are very user friendly, they are almost too plain. I am used to using the more complex social networks like Facebook and Myspace. Student's in today's society are very technologically sound, so Nings might be a little too simple for them and they might get bored using this social network. I could use a Ning to network with other teachers and discuss issues/topics with other teachers. As a teaching tool, I could use a Ning to interact with my students/athletes about classwork or athletics, when outside the classroom.
