CEDO515 Week Two - What I Didn't Know

As I was going through the presentation of "20 Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web," it was interesting to note that Web Apps are not downloads and do not affect how the computer runs. This is one thing I was not aware of, as I do have a smart phone and I thought apps were items that needed to be downloaded in order to work. It is also interesting to see that the apps do not interfere with other items that are currently running on my computer. HMMMM...we learn something new every day! I was also not aware that HTML had a newer version, HTML5, created and used to incorporate video and other interesting pieces such as the interaction with web apps while offline, as well as the drag and drop option. This feature also works everywhere. I learned quite a bit through my Masters in Instructional Technology, but I have to say, there is still much more to learn, and as John says, "Don't blink!" Technology is ever changing, and I think that I will always need to be taking courses if I want to keep up with it. The nice piece is that once I find something that works and is reliable, I am likely to stick with it, even though I am always up for learning new information.
