On this day in class I made a note to myself explaining the value in these blog posts.  I enjoy how much freedom and autonomy we get in our assignments and activities. It creates a stress free feeling both in and out of class. Yet these blog posts ensure that we stay engaged  in the material. They act as a gentle constant in a class that allows for so much free choice. Such engagement is necessary because we are also all sitting in front of computer screens where their is infinite potential for exploring and distracting ourselves from the tasks at hand.

In class on this day we took time to learn how to navigate twitter. One part of this website that I really enjoy is the column on the left hand side which provides all the most popular topics of the day. After seeing this I realize how people would use twitter to access daily news.  I would like to use this website more in the future as I have learned that it is an excellent resource for education information.
