Intro: by Milton Junes

Hello everyone,
My name is Milton Junes and I am currently a freshman at Northeastern Illinois university. Some hobbies I enjoy the most are; listen to music, hangout with my friends and of course be on social medias.

How do you feel a course can effectively integrate blogs, Twitter, and/or other Web 2.0 technologies?

- I feel that a course can effectively integrate blogs, twitter, and/or other Web 2.0 technologies by making the class much more interesting and by communicating easier with the professor or students in the class, like it says in the article "60 Ways To Use Twitter In The Classroom By Category". It says how a professor at NIU lets their students know about last minute class cancelations. I feel that students present day check their social medias more than they should  be checking their emails on a usual base. I personally own a twitter and I check it everyday to keep up on what my friends tweet and I enjoy it a lot. So in my opinion I think it'll be great for courses to integrate blogs, twitter etc. since there's so much you can do on there. You can literally have classroom discussions outside of school!
