ARW 5/13

Today's class was a how-to kind of class, and we played around with creating forms on Google Docs and creating groups on Zotero.These classes are fun because we learn to use services that are useful for University learning. The tools enable us to work collaboratively, which means that group work can be done easier than the traditional pick a time and gather style. Using technology in classes opens up so many new possibilities, and more classes should consider these new options. Using computers makes class more fun, interesting, and creative.

We also made groups for our essays. My topic is going to be about the effects of corporate punishment. Although it is an educational problem, since there was a group about youth and culture, I felt that it would be better to join this group instead of a group about education because it is more of a cultural problem than an educational one. Hopefully, I can get some unique insight about the problem that will help me write my essay.
