On-line Banking

We mentioned last week in class about the changing in banking styles since the internet has become useful. I never even thought about how much I depend on the internet for my banking purposes. I don't even keep my check-book in balance anymore. I keep everything on-line now so the paper records have all been thrown out. It has also effected how my roommates and I pay bills to each other. Instead of taking the time to go to the bank we now just do on-line transfers to each other's accounts, which saves a trip to the bank. I really love on-line banking!

Web 2.0

I really am a huge fan of Web 2.0. I find it so helpful in an educational realm. I feel that students, and myself, are more involved in work projects when they can have a hands-on approach. It is so fulfilling for students to get on a computer and be able to watch their own creations come alive. Students used to have to just read and learn about what other people have done, but now the options have opened up all new possibilities! I just find a huge help in the classroom and harder for children to not be engaged in activities.
