ENGL 112

I found that the most useful tool was "delicious". It made organizing the research paper so much easier. I was able to easily add, research and go back to the useful sites. I found it very useful when I was at the library and needed to look up a site for reference. The "blog" site was an excellent tool also, I liked going to my classmates "blogs" and seeing what and how there research was going. I never used a "blog" site before so it was frustrating at first, with time it became easier. To be honest I haven't do much with "wiki", I didn't quite understand it, which is my fault for not getting into it more. Overall I've really enjoyed learning all the new tools that we've used in this class.
