From the beginning I was excited about the idea of wikis and blogs. However as the semester progressed I started to get frustrated with having to blog all the time. I hated that it DID start to feel forced. All of a sudden towards the end of the semester I regained a love for this technology. I think it was in part because I started the like what I was doing. The readings were cool but I learn better when I actually get to do things and try them myself. My intentions for the class were to"I am really excited to see how people evolve and grow to love this
technology. In the beginning I was against the idea of putting my thoughts out
for the world, or at least the class, to see. I also thought that blogging was
going to be time consuming and forced. But now I like it and I hope everyone
else sees the effectiveness of this technology." (Jan 23, 2008)
1. gain a greater appreciation for web 2.o and expand knowledge
2. learn how to apply web 2.0 to everyday life
3. get used to proofreading my work and blogging everyday
4. become more web 2.0 savvy.
I have come to the conclusion that three out of four isn't that bad!! If you read some of my past posts like this one or this one would can see that wikis were certainly in my future!! I feel as if I have fulfilled my intentions for this course. I am always talking about wikis..blogs...not so much :) I am confident in my ability to explain wikis, blogs, social bookmarking, etc. I use my del.cio.us account WAYYYYY more than I thought would and I am inspired (and determined) to make web 2.0 work for me! When I was taking this class it was for one reason only. I love Mrs. Donna and I know that she has a unconventional way of teaching English classes. However in the long run i learned so much and will certainly be taking this knowledge with me!

I feel the same way. I started this class totally lost and now I've used a lot of what I have learned in some of my other classes. I'm so surprised at how much I was able to accomplish!
I'd have to agree. I also find it funny that you quoted yourself. lol. It reminds me of when I used to do fx in highschool and I couldn't come up with a quote I wanted to use I'd just make one up and say it was by some dude.
yea...i do the third person from time to time
I was lost when I started but now feel like I know something about 2.0. I realized how much I used it already but knew so little about it. I am so glad I took this class and so glad about the experiences with wiki's and blogs.
