I give a lot of credit to the students who worked on the Independent Project, to create their own school, where they could learn by themselves on their own time. I like the idea of learning useful information, but I do not think that it would be for me, because I don't have the will power to focus on learning new things.
While we watched the video online, we were also supposed to be using a back channel on Twitter to put all of our thoughts together. I am new to Twitter and I am not a fan of it. I found that it was hard to focus on watching the video and responding to Tweets at the same time. I also feel like Twitter is not very personal, it would have been just as easy, if not easier, for our classroom to have a discussion on the video after we watched it. I would have preferred talking "face-to-face" with the rest of the class, than using Twitter.
On the other hand, I can see why Twitter would be used on a larger scale, to interact with people in other towns and states, it's just not right for me.
