Technology!


Technology

Online learning is very different than in person learning because you are pretty much on your own. Taking an online class seems to make you less responsible in completing the assignments then actual class courses that are due in class. Although there was always an assignment due every week I can become a habit to the assignment hours before it is due. As well as you can get ahead in turning in assignments. A benefit in an online class is that you have more than the usual time to complete the assignment. A challenge is that sometimes things are not understood or clearly explained and cannot rely in asking the instructor to show me or explain in person. Even though we can email the instructor via email it still takes time to wait for a response and it is not the same then having it explain face to face. The technologies that we used in this semester were ok I really do not fell any technology was beneficial in this course. The blogger was not really a benefit because I felt it can be used for other students to peek around others work an get information from them instead of actually putting effort into the assignment. Tends to be a way for people to really on others work in case they were not able to read the novels or documents we had to read for certain assignments. The only technology that help me a lot in this course was being able to download most of the text through kindle fire for free. It really helps that in this course we had links that would take us directly to the kindle fire version meaning it was free and had to avoid paying over ten dollars in order to complete an assignment. This is something that I will be using more in other classes. Every time I have a certain piece of a document or a book to analysis I would make sure that instead of going out and buying the certain document that is required to look it up and see if it is offer for free. Overall taking an only class requires a lot of knowledge for it eventually you will find it’s tricks to it.
