New Technology
Technology has taken over our life. As more time goes on, technology will be even more part of our life than it already is. For this online class we only rely on technology to connect us to everyone and everything for this class. I am not familiar with many of the sites we will be using in this class such as 'Blogger' but after using it, it is very easy to get used to. I have only used google docs and the announcements page from the list of other sites. This online environment is very different from other online classes I have taken before. For all my online class we only used canvas but for this class we are pretty much using everything else but canvas. But I do understand why we are not using canvas, because after we graduate there won't be canvas. In any future career we would use google docs or some of the other sites we learn. A site that is new to me and one I really like is 'Blogger', it is very simple and easy to use after you get the hang of it.

I am glad you are liking Blogger, Pranali! GoogleDocs is really powerful too, but I usually use Blogger to manage my projects. It just feels FUN (with all the images, videos, etc.), compared to GoogleDocs, which feels like MicrosoftWord (ouch!)... but being way more convenient and also better for sharing with other people. And the more people you can get to read and give you feedback on your writing, the better, so sharing is good! So, I like Blogger: it's fun AND good for sharing. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Pranali, I definitely agree that Blogger is pretty easy to use. While I have generally used Canvas in the past, Blogger seems to have a good user interface and a low learning curve. I have never taken an online course, so I have no frame of reference for this semester, but I do agree with your view, that we use Canvas the least. At least there is opportunities to learn new things.
