What have you learned from this online class? Describe your learning experience briefly.
I have learned about many helpful software programs that I can use in the classroom. These programs were interesting to me and the teacher was helpful in explaining the steps in the process.
What were your weak and strong points? Explain.
I feel that my weaknesses the concept mapping because I could not download the program to my computer and had to download it to a family computer. I do feel this program is beneficial in the classroom and would definately recommend it to other teachers. I feel my strong point was the web site and only because I feel this is a great idea for a teacher as it would be a great way for parents to stay involved with their students.

How did you like the interaction between you and your peers, you and instructor? Explain in details. Provide examples if necessary.
I feel that this class provided you as much oppurtunity as needed to stay involved with peers and the group assignment was a great way to stay active with the peers assigned to the group. The discussions were helpful in that everyone was able to gain new information and learn from each other. Mrs. Wang is a great teacher and was always willing to give advice and help in any way. She would send emails after grading an assignment and tell you what she felt the student should do. This class could have been much more difficult but the teacher was willing to help in any way.
Reflect on the communication tools (individually) used in this class: email, discussion board, chat room, Voice Board, Live Classroom, and Blog. Which tool did you use most, why? From your experience, explain the advantages and disadvantages of each communication tool. Provide examples if necessary.
I enjoyed the blog as I was able to read everyones post.
