Final Blog Post/ Final Thoughts of EDM310

PROJECT 13 COLLABORATION

Team B.A.J.A. did a number of collaborations during the semester, but especially on the final project. We used a number of the technology learned in EDM 310 to help us. One, was email. We continually emailed one another to set up times for meeting. Ashley Snow and I exchanged cell phone numbers and constantly called and text one another ideas about specific projects. Jessie, was always available for anything needed. On Tuesdays and Thursdays he spent his days in the lab, which was very convenient for our team. We Skype one another, so even though we were two different places we were able to work together on the same thing. Lastly, we used the Google drive to create folders where the team and I could instantly communicate and in some cases we could correct one another's sentence structure. The course was amazing and informative.

Final PLN Opinion

Since I have been using Symbaloo as my personal learning environment my experience with the internet has been easier and better. I do not have to waste as much time typing and searching for websites. I onlt have to type it into my Google Search bar on my Symbaloo page. I can also save the page that was so easy to find so I will never have to find it again by making it as one of my buttons on my Symbaloo page as well. This is the perfect short cut for projects, homework,research and resources.

A Vision of Students Today

A Vision of Students Today is a great great attention grabber that shows the real true life of college students. I think the message that the Kansas State University student are trying to portray is that school system is using a lot of unnecessary learning tools that college students do not use. So why are we still having to dish out money and bury ourselves in even more dept than necessary?

I think the students and production team who has brought this issue to surface is awesome. A lot of my college is payed for by Financial Aid loans and grants. I can not afford to pay for text book that are never open. I have a family and a job. So, a lot of my spare time should not be used reading material that does not pertain to my future or my current status. I also feel as if the message that KSU wanted to portray is that technology has helped socially, educationally, and economically.We should save time and money by making the educational system solely technological. I can not say if this would be a good or bad thing. However it will make my college dept deplete tremendously and easier to get through.
