Full Course Reflection

During Web 2.0 i learned how to use a whole variety of sites that i never new existed. For example for my first time ever i found out what a voki was. Even right now i would have never had a blog if it wasn't for Mr.Porfidos web 2.0 class. I think the only thing in the class that should be changed are the computers so that Web 2.0 becomes a better and funner class. I will most definetly continue to use voki, gmail, and blogger these three where my favorite because i can also use them for other classes and my projects can stand out from others.
