April 15 quiz continued..

What I found most interesting about the 'TECHNORATI report' were the bulleted facts and the very colorful graphs.

I like reading graphs and find them very beneficial, but the different highlighted information and the fact that the graphs were even available made the reading much easier to understand. Many students, such as myself, get so caught up in the text that eventually our eyes are just going over the words and we are not interpreting what we are "reading". Being able to see pictures or graphs help to keep me focused on the reading and to actually understand what I am reading.

I am shocked about the facts such as:

-70 million weblogs
-1.5 million posts per day
-17 posts per second
-Tracking 230 million posts with tags or categories
-2.5 million blogs posted at least one tagged post in February

I cannot believe that this many people are online, blogging, interacting and communicating every day! If this is the number of people engaging in conversation now, imagine what the number will be when all schools are online and using technology in the classrooms! It's unreal! Classrooms are being reinvented right under our noses!
