I think this was because the majority of assessments we had were tests. Teachers required us to memorize the information in order to do well on the test. Some test were on the understanding level with essays because they required paraphrasing, summerizing, comparing and contrasting. Many of the papers and projects we were assigned were also on the understanding level requiring us to summerize or compare. There were very few assignments where other levels were used.

Most of us forget there was a time that people did not have the internet or iphones. · The video mentioned a virtual telephone site that made it easy for people to get directions, find numbers for places nearby, and find places to go. This site is really great because all this information is available in one telephone call. This tool makes traveling around an unfamiliar place so much more convenient. · It was pointed out how easy it is to meet new people using a social networking site. These sites are especially helpful for people who move to a new place. They give people the opportunity to feel comfortable being themselves; while meeting people they might not otherwise have the opportunity to meet. · The video mentioned that society is moving toward a more collaborative way of doing things. I have never thought about this before but I agree. I think this is because it is convenient for everyone to be involved. It allows people to feel more comfortable about sharing their ideas. Certain people might be too intimidated to share their ideas in a conference room. · I really liked learning about the networking site for mothers. I am a new mother and I think I could benefit from a site like this. It is sometimes hard to get out of the house. This type of site gives you a connection to other people in the same situation as you. It also allows you to get support and advice about raising children.
