Reflection of "Survey of Emerging Technologies" Course

The course that started this entire blog is "Survey of Emerging Technologies," an on-line course I took this summer.  I took the course, as I really wanted to learn more about Web 2.0 Applications, because I do not feel confident on the internet, nor do I harness all the possibilities that are out there.  I have to say that initially I was nervous about blogging, but it is really easy and fun.  I have thought of so many different things that I can blog about and blogs that I want to view, that this is slowly becoming a new addiction of mine.  Prior to this class, I had a Facebook Account and e-mail, I surfed the internet, but did not really use all the capabilites that are available.  I am impressed, overwhelmed, and curious.  The more you learn, the more you want to learn.  There are so many other Web 2.0 apps that I now want to experiment with and use, and their functionality and purposes are useful to me as a professional teacher and also for my own personal use.  This is only the beginning and I am excited about what I have yet to learn with my new confidence and willingness to explore.
