The website that I liked best was pandora.com. I have used this site to listen to music before. What is so great about Pandora is that users choose an artist and song they like and Pandora plays it and artists that sound similar. It is a great place to find new artists to listen to. The site plays both popular artists and almost unheard of artists. If the user does not like an artist Pandora recommends they can choose to remove that artist from the list. I like to use it when I want to hear new music that I am almost certain I will like. There are several artists I found on Pandora a few years ago that I still listen to.

For me "School 2.0" is a way for teachers and students to communicate information through the Internet. Students can use the Internet to access information being taught in class. If teachers set up websites that allow students to access their work and information about it, students will be more efficient at home. Many students go home not understanding the homework and are unable to get help at home. If these students could use the Internet to get assistance they would probably make much better grades. Also, if students needed to miss school they would not fall behind. Basically "School 2.0" will be a place online that the student can go at anytime to get help with school.

Commenting helps to create a sense of community by making it easy for people to respond to and read other peoples thoughts. Through commenting people can share interesting information and let bloggers know that their blogs are being read and appreciated. It is important when commenting on a blog to be polite! People who are commenting need to state their opinions in polite, nonabrasive ways. Leaving rude comments on peoples blogs not only can potentially hurt the writers feelings but it also makes the commenter look bad. Don't be mean!!! Also it is important to write things that actually matter. Writers want to hear why people agreed with or liked their blog.
