Mobile Broadband – planet3
Wikispaces – wikimapia, wikispaces, wikipedia
GrassRoot Videos – youtube, crunchyroll

Significant trends: How do these relate to your experiences of technology in learning contexts?
These trends relate to my experiences of technology in learning contexts, firstly because we have studied these technology bases in our elearning class and also because i use many of these technology on a daily basis. I also use collaborative web and grassroot videos on a daily basis to gather new information for studying, and also to watch videos. I have used social networking in regards to facebook, such as learning new information via groups and sharing knowledge with my friends. The development of technology has created a much easier learning environment for us as students, however i think learning is most effective with both technological aspects and the tradtitional learning style.
