My reflection on the readings in Module 2!

Although it wasn't a reading, my favorite source in the Module 2, was the Vimeo video. The woman made an amazing point that we, anyone using the internet and posting anything on it, are publishers. Not that books aren't still extremely important and prevalent, but the process to be a "writer" is much easier and less cumber-son than it used to be. Before in order to publish your words you would have someone to write it, then check grammar and spelling, then someone pick a cover for the book, then a publisher, now with technology, one person has the ability to do all that. Now some teachers face the issue of how do we prepare our students for what the technology might be in the years to come, as mentioned in Vimeo video. The slide show also made some great points like how the internet has created patience for people and a lot of creating and sharing with others comes out of the use of the internet. The readings were very relate able and I enjoyed them.
