Week 3 blog

To me the language that many of the students speak is practical for the world in which they live because the world is changing and evolving into something new everyday. Everything is fast paste and readily available. Also, I think that it is better because of technological advances we have everything at our fingertips and convience thru the use of ipods, cellphones, webcams and etc.

My perspective is the same as the students because of the flexibility and multitasking opportunities that technology allows. I can get more things done in a short time and also use my creativity. Thus, I can be an active learner.

Google Docs is a free web program offered by Google which allows its user to create and communicate with other users thru word processing and spreadsheets document. Google Docs is considered a R/W program because it allows users to communicate in real time. I never used this program but would like to have the opportunity to use it one day.

Some of the R/W tools that I learned about are Web 2.0, pod casting, and webcam. I have not used any of these but would like to explore the use of them in the future. I eventually want to learn and produce digital and video cartoons on black history lessons for kids.
