If I had to pick the most important thing I have learned from this class, it would have to how the internet is an amazing academic tool, if used wisely. Through the class's student blogs, we are proving that our generation can effectively use the internet as a tool to learn and spread ideas about literature. Students read each others comments and posts which give them a wider understanding of the piece of literature we are focusing on. This is shutting down older generations claims that we can't handle the power of the internet responsibly. They think it is just a source of entertainment for students. Most older people who think this way don't use the internet themselves, thus missing out on the efficient benefits the internet offers.
Roy Christopher, one of the most influential people to the internet, video chatted with our class. He acknowledged our progress and told us a little about himself. This is yet another benefit that the internet provides students. For every assignment in this class, I have used to the internet. I have learned that blogs makes it easier for the class to communicate. If there is a problem it is usually addressed and resolved within a few hours. The internet is our generations most important tool for success.
