So far we've learned quite a bit in our classes. We are becoming familiar with many different types of internet resources. I wasn't aware that I could so easily create a powerpoint on the internet or go to that "face" website and put my mug on someone famous.

The book "Supporting Learning With Technology" is a very interesting and thought provoking read. I am currently reading chapter four, which deals with critical thinking and I think there are many points raised from the reading that are worth pondering. Sometimes it is difficult to assess a person's ability to think critically, however I think these skills are as important as any. A democracy depends on a citizenry that is able to evaluate and analyze the information it consumes.
