Advice from experienced teachers
Metateachnition 2 (on D2L by Friday 11:59 pm please) - How broadly do you use the internet and all its resources? Think about how much you use the vastness of the internet when you are not doing something for school or work. Do you tend to go to more than 10 websites on any given day or week or do you pretty much go to the same places all the time? Why/why not? If yes, would you list some of the sites (your choice to list or not to list). When do you you branch out?
