It was great to hear from the students themselves on how technology has made learning easier and more interesting. The students in the videos talked consistantly on how they liked and used the wikkis and blogs alot in their learning. The teacher in the video mentioned We truly have come a lond way. that 5 years ago students would not be able to share information with other students throughout the world.
