2. I enjoyed creating my blog
named “Jody’s Wedding
Story”. It followed the
planning of my wedding and
then the wedding. I loved
sharing the stories with my
class ,as well as reading other
blogs that the other
classmates had created. I
found some very interesting
information about some
classmates that I did not
know, but was intrigued by
since I have had classes with
most of them throughout my
degree program. It was really
an opportunity to get to know
each other better.

3. I absolutely fell in love
with Twitter the minute I
joined and began
Tweeting. I was addicted
in the first hour!
Although, I have not
figured it all out yet, I am
learning more and more
each time I use it. The
special features we
incorporated with it was
also neat. Such as
Delicious, Flickr, WeFollow
, and Reuters.

4. GOOGLE & BING
SEARCH
I enjoyed learning how to
navigate around the Web
browsers and how to set
them with my bookmarks. I
knew how before to set my
bookmarks; however, I did
not know how to use the
RSS feeds and what sites to
use to search for things of
my interest. I have learned
so much about how to
customize my browsers to
have a more meaningful
experience when doing my
homework or just playing
around.

5. GOOGLE DOCS ASSIGNMENT
I did not care very much for the Google Docs assignment. The reason being
was probably because I am so used to using Microsoft Office and all of its
features that I just could not seem to enjoy Google Docs. I found that it was
very difficult to type; it seemed as if the program could not keep up with
what I was wanting to do. I do understand that some people may not have
the money to purchase software and that this may be a better solution for
them; however, for myself and the benefits for my use, I do not plan to use
it anymore. I did like the collaboration part and I hope that I can maybe use
that feature again one day if necessary without having to edit straight from
the program.

6. Sumo Paint was not one
of my favorite
assignments;
although, it was
interesting to find out
about it. I am not
How cool is
usually artistic, or into this Sumo
creative projects, so this Elephant?
was not something that
kept my attention very
well. However, I did
enjoy looking at some of
the creations of others.

7. I absolutely hated doing the Coursecast assignments. I do
understand that it was very beneficial to my understanding
and keeping up with technology news, though, I did not like
it. The thing I hated most about it was trying to make it
mine. I am not very good at taking large words and turning
them into to my own. I also thought that with all of the
other assignments we had to do, it was demanding and
time consuming to get this particular assignment
completed.
