Fall Semester Reflection

1. Sadly, not really. The thought of someone being able to see your work at any time really makes you fear that you made an mistake and people are gonna look down on for your stupidity.

2. A course with an blog changes a class because you could get feedback almost immediately. We would probably go back to thinking in 1 dimension on our class work is impacted on us. 

3. It makes me spell check many times, and puts pressure on me to post stuff that ca't not be bias. Not really different than the way they are now.

4. Yes because now we can take a classroom and shrink it down to the size of a phone and take it where ever we see fit.

5. You are your own teacher and student, ours is merely a guide for us to explore our age of technology and spread our knowledge through it. 

6. They are chances or opportunities, but the way you go to get them may be your downfall.

7. I don't get responses on my blog.
