Fall Semester Reflection

- I usually read my colleagues' work online, it's great to view their blogs as a reference in case I ever need a little more understanding of an assignment.

- With this public course blog, I could always go back and review past works, wether it's for studying or if its to simply refreshen my memory on a topic. If the course blog were to suddenly shut down and I were to return to the text, then I would see all this open source learning as a waste of my time.

- I try to make my final assignments seem professional. If the course were to change then it would feel as if I am not writing for an audience anymore.

- It is like the course blog is an extension of the classroom and I can continue my learning in the blog.

- The experience is unlike anything from classes that came before. Not only are we described as 'pioneers" but I think we could be considered the 21st century Romantics. Considering that this has not been done before.

- They see it as unimaginable, because they are so used to the classic routine with text books.

- I get the feeling that this course could be affecting the game. Open source learning could be how teachers run their classrooms in the future, considering how fast technology is evolving.

Final Presentation: American Literature

Erick's introduction-
   American Literature:
In this semester, we learned about the remixes in American Literature and how Romantics transcended their works trying to avoid such technique. As how they claimed their work on their own. We explain these factors of American Literature on the following Prezi.


The following is our Prezi presentation for the final:
