Tell us a little about yourself and your interest in the course you're taking.: I graduated from Hamilton College with an Economics Degree in last May. I coach Track and Field at Hamilton and Varsity Volleyball in Rome, NY. I am currently getting my Masters in Childhood Education at Utica College. This class sounds interesting because the topic is very different from any other I've studied before.

How would you describe your general attitude toward computers and related technology?: Comfortable but not super excited

What "Web 2.0" websites do you use?: Facebook

I'm just about half way through Distraction. I'm not enjoying it as much as the last. I don't have an idea about what to do my 3rd book review on yet. Usually something comes up in my head while I'm reading...but not yet!

I finally finished The Diamond Age! I also made some posts...we have some interesting discussions going! I started to write my book review, but all I have so far is a summary.

No, you aren't writing a summary and that you probably shouldn't spoil the ending. Look at book reviews in Time or NY Times or on Salon.com and see what they do.

That's what I'm looking for you to do as well.

Have you seen the discussion about the book review? I posted a sample review as well that you can get to from the discussion.
