Module 2 Blog Post continued
After taking the rest of yesterday off to blow off some much needed steam I return to you all a little bit more refreshed and a whole lot more calm. To continue where I left off yesterday I am amazed by the capabilities computers and technology provide for us to communicate. While I am sure that whatever those crazy technologists are working on now is way out of my current level of understanding, in five years my niece who will then be seven will be explaining to me how to use the newest communication tool. I may not have all my technology ducks in a row so to speak right now, but isn't that why we are all back in school? To learn more and to better understand the available technology around us. My only major concern right now is what else am I missing out on? Just think about it, if I just now found out about skype, what else could I be using that I don't even know exists!

Greetings Kassidy,
ReplyDeleteCommunication technologies have improved by leaps and bounds. Not only is distance learning affected by these advancements, but families separated geographically are able to communicate as though they were next door. With technologies such as Twitter, family members are able to stay current with events in each others lives even if the response is limited to 140 characters. I have never used Skype (lack of camera and microphone), but I am interested in this communication tool.
