Technology!

Online learning, especially in it’s relation to English 102, has been very beneficial to me.  Today, technology in the academic setting is more prevalent than ever.  Being able to take a class online, gives me not only flexibility, but a chance to strengthen my communication skills in the online environment.  Learning online, you not only learn the material from your professor, but you learn vital computer skills.  As a student you can apply these skills to your future in the academic field, and professional career. 

The technology that was most beneficial to me this semester is the blog and blogpost feedback.  I feel this is especially beneficial to me because I value feedback from Laura in regards to my writing structure.  I struggle most with the construction and flow of my writing. So, being able to get feedback every week helps to keep me on track and use constructive criticism when writing my papers.

In the future, I will make sure to utilize the resources I have via YC.  The online library and sources used for reference are convenient and extremely helpful.  In the past, I have mostly used the internet and found okay resources.  I felt the ones from the online library were very informative and accurate. 

Overall, the online learning environment is the optimum learning environment for me personally.  I spend a lot of time on my computer, so taking a class online is convenient and second nature to me.  I feel my learning outcome overall is that much better because I have taken this course online.
