on a subject matter. Google Docs and Sites are a major advancement because I don’t have to keep up with a flash- drive, or worry about converting a Word document for e-mailing. All of these new learning tools are relieving a lot of stress in school, and making it significantly easier to learn. I am looking forward to putting them to further more in depth use as we move on this year.
from Cori You would never think that posting a blog, or updating your profile would help you get organized, but it has. When I am looking for something that I completed several weeks ago I look back to my blog post and back to my Google Sites, and there it is. The Google Docs really has helped me also. I use that instead of Microsoft Word, and it helps me keep everything right there on my e mail. It also saves by itself so you never have to worry about all your work being gone.

from Lindy I have improved so much on the information I can collect in the time allotted, writing blog responses, staying on task, and keeping caught up with all the work that needs to be done. The thing I am most proud of is how much my writing has improved just by writing one persuasive essay and many blogs posts and responses. Not only can I tell that my writing has had great progress in my English course, but also in my other classes too. My performance in writing, comprehending, and socializing has been greatly influenced by learning the many tools these past 2 months.
from Loren I have learned about the usefulness of wikis and how they can be used to share information as a group. It helped me understand how Wikipedia and other wikis actually work and function as learning tools. The introduction of learning through blogging on the site WordPress was also a new experience to me. I was interested to find that some blogs actually contain credible information and not just opinion based articles.
Anonymous feedback on presentation zen I like it SO much more. You feel so much more comfortable and relaxed when you can just look at your audience instead of reading bullets off a power point. Thank you to Mrs. Lester and Mrs. Hamilton. I know that my grade does not match with how much I have learned. Even though my grade isn’t what I would hoped it to be, the learning I have received will be with me forever, and for that I am strongly appreciative.

Anonymous feedback on presentation zen Using the “presentation zen” style, I actually had to understand my findings. Because I couldn’t use bullets in my power point, I was forced to really connect to my research to talk about it during my presentation.
Anonymous feedback on presentation zen I like the whole “simple picture, simple text” concept. I think this method actually gets the presented message across to the audience more powerfully and emotionally than busy, chaotic slides. This method also forces the presenter to present to the AUDIENCE and talk from what he/she knows rather than look at the slides and read right off of the slide with no communication to the audience.
from Alex I think that my Netvibes has been essential in my research process because I can travel to any of my work or interests right off of that page. I enjoy being able to show my viewers visual aids and written tools. My Netvibes describes me as a learner because I have to be very organized in order to succeed. I was able to categorize items in columns, which made my Netvibes reflect my personality. My Netvibes also gives an overview on my topic by using many different feeds and links. I think that viewers will be able to understand why my topic is very important to me due to my dedication to the material that is displayed. This is the link to my Netvibes page on veterans’ issues:

from Jonathan Netvibes has really helped me as I continue working on my research project. It gives me a great place to combine information and research together in one, easy-to-use place. I enjoy using it and I can’t wait to implement it in my every day routine. Netvibes is easily an essential tool for me. I’m on it each class period and every night I get home. If I’m not using it for a basis for research, then it’s a portal for links and RSS feeds. My Netvibes page has everything I would need for a project or issue that needed to be covered. I really enjoy how easy it is to get started and jump right into editing my Netvibes. I like the fact that I can add any widgets I need in the blink of an eye and put it where ever I’d like it. Netvibes allow for quick and easy access to my information, research sources, and search engines that I have placed upon my Netvibes pages. The addition of RSS feeds on my Netvibes has helped me greatly. I also added a link to Gale searching and Libguides from my school. The ability to click and drag any widget I may need is really great and it helps me work so much
