U-Blog 3

Well, this is my third U-blog so I'm beginning to get the hang of it now. For this weeks assignments we were asked to take survey's to see how we learn best. My results came out as I thought they would. I'm a visual learner. I've been a visual learner for as long as I can remember. When you have to sit there for over an hour and listen to a teacher go on and on about something, sometimes you tend to just tune them out. That's been my problem for a long time. Being a visual learner I just have to go back read the material myself and I'm usually ok with it.

That's why I love this class. All of our assignments can be done straight from blackboard with all the articles and diagrams right in front of me. I'm able to pick up the information quickly and do whatever work needs to be done. While I am a visual learner, I still like going to the classes because it gives me a chance to ask any questions I have. That would be the only bad thing I could see about doing the class online only is the students don't have a chance to see the teacher in person and ask questions. Some people may say "...well yeah but I could just e-mail her the question.". Well, yeah that's true but your e-mail could also get lost in the mix of other emails and she may not get to the question in time. What are you going to do if she doesn't get to it until after the due date?

We also had to take our second online quiz and I did pretty well on it. I missed one out of a careless error. I do like how the quizes have been set up. The questions for the most part have been simple and straight forward.

U-Blog 2

This past week we were we given our groups for our group workshop. In one of our assignments we were asked to create a list of topics that we would like to do our workshop on. We thought one idea would be to do a workshop on the different types of search engines such as yahoo and google, and what each has to offer. We also thought about doing one on different web browsers such as Firefox and IE. In preparation for our own workshop and the report we have to write, we were also asked to select another workshop to observe. Its been a very busy week, but I feel like I have a great group to work with on this workshop.
