Exit Slip #1

There were quite a number of things I felt I learned today. Number one being grateful for a professor who goes through and explains things. The homework schedule makes more sense now. It's surprising how effective silence can be; allowing us to think of questions that need answering. 

Now onto topics that were discussed in class. I remember having to do social bookmarking for only one class while I was in high school. Maybe it was because I didn't really like my teacher for that class and wasn't really paying attention, but I had no idea how incredibly useful social bookmarking can be. I found it very interesting that our delicious account is something that isn't only beneficial to us to complete the B contract, but as a tool when we begin our teaching careers. 

I've heard about wikis before but it's safe to say that I didn't really fully understand what they were until today. I thought it was really neat how if a student misses a class that there doesn't need to be any miscommunication between teacher and student, rather the student can take the initiative to look on the wiki to find out what they've missed. This way, I think it leaves more to the student to take care of their own grade then it does the teacher. While I'm aware that the wiki can do more than just a summary of the days events, I really liked the format that it was being used in.
