2. FirefoxURL: www.mozilla.com/firefox/Rating:Reflection: Mozilla Firefox is a Web browser that I feel is faster and more secure than any other Web browser I’ve tried before. It is easier to navigate and understand. Also, the option of bookmarking the websites I visit the most, makes it fast and easy for me to get where I need to go. I rate this technology tool at 5 stars.

3. Google AppsURL: www.google.comRating:Reflection: I found Google apps to be very fun and interesting. I liked how I was able to share documents with other classmates- something that I never tried before. But I found Google Apps to be a little hard to figure out in the beginning- therefore I rated it at 4 stars.

I was able to stay updated with my progress. I had open communication with my professor- which I find very important. I learned how to hyperlink my assignments- which I use all the time now. I thought using Moodle was a great way to stay connect with my professor and peers, view assignments and stay updated with my progress- all at one very fun and easy website. I rated Moodle at 5 stars.

I rated Wix 4 and a half stars.

I was able to share what I thought about with others in a creative and fun way. In addition, I was able to view other people’s blogs and read what they had to say. I rated Blog Spot with 5 stars.
