Blogs

At first I though the blogging assignment was kind of pointless but as the summer progressed I realized that it could be very helpful. The most helpful aspect was getting other classmates to comment on my blog. Seeing other students opinions of the same topics and even being critiqued on my webpage was very helpful. Using blogs in the classroom seems like a great homework or in class assignment. Students can share their thoughts and opinions with their peers, but I think this should be monitored very closely because blogging can be abused.

My Website

Well...I am finally finished with my website! My website is all about my favorite wedding things that I have been doing this summer. I am not completely sure what I would change about my website. I might would change the background to a cute layout if I knew how to do it or use some different buttons. Overall, it was a pretty neat project. Here is the link to my website...http://www.johnstrange.com/edm310summer07/gilbert/

iphone

Most schools at this point are banning the iphone, but many see the iphone as an educational advancement. If schools decide to implement the iphone it will cost school funds a ton of money by having to add wifi. This seems very expensive and very excessive.
