1st assignment for The Paperless Classroom

1) I thought the video was amazing, it added to the connotation of how behind many americans are.  It's very interesting how we are the "most" powerful country in the world, but we fall behind in some many important areas, such as health care and education.  I definitely plan to show the video to my class one day, it would definitely be an eye opener to them.

2) Right off the bat I was really intrigued by the class, especially the demeanor of Shelly.  He was so calm and different from most hopkins professors.  I look forward to the class, but without question find it hard to keep up with all these social networking things.  It was hard enough to keep up with on-line accounts, e-mails, and facebook, so adding all these other things seems overwhelming especially when you barely understand the whole twitter thing.
