I think the best part of the newfound connectivity tools of technology are the fact that this course even exists. We are interacting, learning, working, submitting assignments, and never leaving the couch! Are online classes my favorite? No, not always, but I imagine that those who don't live in Norman (or in a town with a university) are certainly thankful.
All of this technology sure makes the world a lot smaller. I can be exposed to foreign cultures, decorating ideas, and stay in touch with my friends without leaving home. It's not the same as being in person though. Would I go home more if technology didn't make it so easy to stay here in Norman? I wonder.
I was always amused when my cooperating teacher would just be fascinated with all the technological things that I know how to do without thinking about it. It would always take at least twice as long to teach her how to do it. However, I think that's the most important part. If we're going to have it, we have to have people using it for it to be valuable and useful.
I really had already incorporated many of these tools into my life prior to this class. Am I ever going to make another database? I don't know, but I guess I could if I have to :)
