49% -- would change nothing about the assignmentOthers:Spend more class time on the assignmentsChange the day the assignments were duePost all assignments at onceToo much work for allotted points, tedious
Hardest activities – multiple students indicated RSS and Digg/Newsvine/Reddit

Student Reactions“It was a great assignment and I know that at first I
was stressed out about it because I knew nothing about it and I didn’t want to do bad on it but after I learned exactly what it was it became fun and a good educational experience.”
“I enjoyed the Web 2.0 assignment. I felt that it helped me learn a lot about the internet and the different tools that are available to me.”
“The Web 2.0 assignments furthered my knowledge and will help me out a lot in the future.”
“I like that new news and new updates can come to me on my blog from websites that I have shared onto my blog. I think it will be useful for my career later on in life, as well.”

Student Reactions“I think that web 2.0 is really pointless. It
just takes up more time outside of ther [sic] classroom and it isn’t going to help me with other classes or outside of school.”
“One thing I would change about this assignment would be that it made us sign up for everything we were learning about. Now I have a bunch of accounts on different things that I will probably never use and that I will never even remember how to get to now.”
