Reflection Questions

I first learned how to use a computer in a computer class in elementary school. I don't remember when, but I know we had a computer in our house in 2nd grade, so it must have been around then. I used it every day to play Where in Time is Carmen San Diego? My mom taught a computer science class when I was in 6th grade, and I took her class and learned to type properly.
I didn't start using the internet until 4th grade. That's when I got my first email address since we moved to Taiwan and I wanted to stay in touch with my friends. Unfortunately, none of them had computers or used the internet, so that didn't work out too well. So, I just used it for "homework" since I was homeschooled. All I did was read and play on the computer every day.
I started using Myspace sometime in early high school, and then facebook my first year of college. I don't know why since none of my best friends ever did. They still don't. But, my whole family does (even my grandma), so it's nice in that way. My friends in Taiwan all use Hi5, so I also have an account there, but I don't use it as much.
Supplementary online support for classes is good and bad. It's nice to be able to interact with classmates and teachers outside of class. It's also nice to be able to do assignments in bed with your laptop on your lap. However, a lot of times I forget that there are assignments on blackboard and then miss out on important things I should have done, when if there was just a paper in my notebook about it I would remember. I think the only disadvantage really is that students aren't used to it, but I think that as students get used to it, it will be a great advantage in classrooms.
