Week 5

Hey All,

Here is my voicethread when I was trying to relate to Dr. Bonk's Presentation. I hope you enjoy, and I will return to write some more. I'm exhausted, but happy! :-)

Hey everyone. This week had again much new technology to absorb. The mantra "We all learn" I think is great. It speaks to everyone around the world, regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, or global position. Learning is no longer a place, but everyone is under one cloud. "Cloud Computing and Learning" means no matter where we are, we can all learn. The issue is access to the Internet. Once everyone has access it is possible to find learning taking place everywhere.

E-learning breaks down the barriers that once restricted knowledge to only the countries with large monetary systems. Individuals and companies have provided new technology and content to individuals and schools. This has made the world a "flat" place, where almost everyone has equal access to learning, content knowledge, new technology applications, and rivaling traditional schools of learning.

This benefits the poorest of nations, and helps the populous of these nations. It provides learning, training, and ultimately opportunities. Newly emerging educated people are now becoming contributing participants into the new digital age. Where content, collaboration, and community are built within many learning communities. Learning communities are being broadened by contributors that collaborate around the globe. The act of contributing content, feedback, and openness has created a world that is looking to solve global issues by educating one individual at a time, on their own pace, and at low to no monetary cost. Rather amazing. :-) **giggles**
