OK well i have been updating and reading and really think that the technology of teaching is going to be very important. social networking on ning and facebook will be something kids will understand and enjoy working on. pbworks is a good place to develop a class but i wont be able to do a lot on it in my current job but look forward to atleast trying it out. Minds on Fire was interesting but the tech revolution is going to be very critical to the future of the educational industry.

So i have reviewed Facebook, Ning, and PBworks in a comparison to Blackboard and Moodle and dont like them as options. We have an assignment to make classes on those sites and so far it hasnt changed my mind, but i shall leave my mind open until i have completed the classes and see what comes of it. Its interesting to see the technology i use in this class as compared with the stuff i use in my everyday job for the Army and how much some of it syncs and some is actually behind. A lot of the stuff we do is more advanced than what we do here, so hopefully this is helping me learn.
