Final Post
Although blogging was a pain in the beginning, it came to be 2nd nature after the first rough week. I actually like it now! It is better than a myspace or something of that nature. How about that?? How about all of the young children that are in myspace and the parents are either not involved or are oblivious to what their children are doing on the computer. My daughter is only 4 and alreay knows how to work a computer. She does all the education games on the computer to stimulate her brain besides all the other stuff she gets at school or home. To me, those websites are all trouble and make children experience things quicker than normal. Children now-a-days are already advanced in many areas but why do we need to encourage or allow them to experience the crazy internet world??? When I was young we had a word processor, that was the closest to coming to a computer. Now these children have it all and there is more to come as we become more advanced in the technology era!

Rachel, we didn’t have access to half the stuff that is out now and it seems that kids are learning more and more at younger ages. I’m sure your daughter will be able to pick up blogging a lot faster then some of us did. It’s a little strange how things changed so fast. Some of the things I see little ones pick up it just amazes me. I think it’s so important for parents to be aware of what there child is doing because if you aren’t then someone else will do it (and they might not lead them in the right direction). All in all blogging for this course wasn’t too bad and I got to get a feel for the people in the class and I got to learn how to use a new thing. I wish the course would have been longer because then we really could have learned more about one another but I think this was a good experience.
Rachel, I can relate with you about children learning so fast on the computers. My niece was about 4 too when she began to be involved with computers. She would ask us to put in on the Nickelodeon website and she knew where to go from there. She would play color and number games that involved Dora the Explorer! She loved it! I also agree with Daphne's comment that they will probably pick up this whole blogging thing faster than we did. LOL!! Anyway, I actually did like the whole blogging thing because it helped me get a feel for who I was talking to in class. Also, the photos were great because it gave it a more personal touch. It was great to have you all in class! Good Luck in the future!
That's for admitting the blogging was a good teaching method here especially since so many of you came to it kicking and screaming. I think in the end it worked really nice to bring a personal touch and greater relating of the mateial to each of us! Keep on blogging!
