Technology can help you learn!

Last week we had class on Wimba, which was exciting.  I was actually dreading the Wimba class because of a past experience with it.  I thought that without face to face contact with my professor, that it would be hard to focus.  Well I learned that it is nice to have a Wimba class, and that with an exciting lesson plan it can actually be fun.  My favorite part was when I was able to speak to the class through my headset.  I was not even required to have a headset in my past class, we just needed to listen.  It was fun being in the breakout room, doing research on tablets, and talking to my partner.  I learned a lot about tablets in an instructional use.  I really do hope that more schools establish this, because students need that interaction with technology.  If more schools instituted a tablet program, there would be less texting under desks and more learning going on.
