I LOVE Google. I used to use hotmail and i switched over to gmail because my account kept getting hacked into. That is where my first experience with google started. I only knew how to use the gmail feature at first and now i know there is so much more offered. I still need to explore the apps more but i love the sites, calendar, document and blogger apps already. I will use them in my future class as ways to stay informed about my students and turn stuff in to me. I really like the collaboration feature of googledocs and so i will most likely use that as we because it is so convenient.
Social media is such a complex thing. I bet my students know more about it than i do which is sad. Social media can be a good thing when it is used to inform people and keep in touch with old friends. It can also be a bad thing when it is used for bullying. Cyberbullying is one topic that i have never thought of and i never thought our world would get to that point. It is so easy to bully someone through the web and it is really hurtful especially when loved ones don't even know it is going on. There are so many different web tools and social media sites out there that hurts to wrap my brain around it all.
