Web 2.0 Multimedia Blog Pre-Posting

This year I am taking Web 2.0 in this class I expect to learn a lot more about technology then I already know. I am hoping to come out of this class knowing a lot more about technology. I like how we post all of our work on a blog instead of writing it out. I think that the blogs make it more fun to do work. Check out http://www.blogger.com the blog spot we use in class. 

Mr. Porfido's grading policy is just like any other teachers. 40% for Formal Assessments 40% for Performance based Assessments. 10% for homework and 10% for Informal Assessments. I like how we have to research a topic every week and then create a blog touching on the main ideas of the article. The only thing I don't like is having to present it to the class. But I will get used to it after a while. 

In this class Technology is used is many different ways. Technology is used to do assessments. Basically we use technology for everything in this class. Check out these videos  https://youtu.be/6gmP4nk0EOE https://youtu.be/5qWg6cgFnIU
