So many things to learn never enough time! Today's class was simply amazing and informative to say the least! Dr. Smirnova held another IROC conference in the beginning of class, a surprise to all of us! Our class was filled with 30-40 eager individuals wanting to know more about WEB 2.0!!!! Many examples of what topics were discussed are: social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, and remixes. Let's get together and COLLABORATE!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful world of technology, and who better to teach us than Dr. Smirnova! One of the most unique points of this conference was the power point presentation used. Dr. Smirnova had the whole room learning together on individual computers, adding and editing items throughout the presentation! 
Yes, all 30-40 attendees were typing into the presentation, and all responses were being shown on the main board! She even had friends around the world adding comments during this seminar! AMAZING! I knew Google Docs allowed you to collaborate with partners to do work apart from each other, I had no idea how huge this really was until this class!!!!!! Think about it! As a teacher, I can have my students all participate actively from their homes all at once on one central document or presentation! Truly an eye opening experience for myself as a future educator! 
Another class where I left armed with more knowledge than when I first walked in!
