West's essay:

After reading and analyzing West's article about using technology as a means to communicate in education, we can ultimately use our digital capabilities to further our education, both teachers and peers. Seeing the different ways people can create an online identity and then use that to teach others is very powerful and will definitely continue to expand and become more popular at the university level. Being the digital age, we must evolve with the world around us. I think that covering the evolution of the digital age is an important piece that I plan to talk about in my paper. Being able to refer to West's article as well as have different options for our paper has really expanded the levels of analysis for each student. The topic of blogging and identities through blogging is still very new and society still has much to learn about the most effective ways to utilize it.
