Exit Slip

After reading the chapter, I was a little confused about the different terms presented. Brittany and Lauren did a good job introducing the terms and explaining their differences with the time that they had.

We also had a few cool tool presentations and learned about tools such as twitter, wordle, and symbaloo. I really like wordle and think it's a tool I will definitely use in the future for personal uses as well as in the classroom. I could have students describe certain words, books, etc. and create a word cloud. Symballo is also a tool I think I will use on my personal computer to organize the sites and tools I like to use. Having this on the school computers would also be a good way for students to organize games and research sites they like to use.

A few of my peers shared information about contemporary issues such as internet safety, online education, and gaming (virtual world). I have never been a fan of online education; mainly because I truly value the social experience that school provides. Personally, I understand that students can have social experiences in other aspects of their life and may enjoy virtual school more, it's just not my personal preference.

Each week this class challenges me to open my eyes and see issues, tools, and information from another perspective. Sometimes when I share my opinion I feel like I am being attacked by others, but I will keep sharing because that's how I feel. I am an open-minded person who is willing to learn new things but I feel as though some people aren't willing to listen to what I have to say.
