We did a glog which is a graphic blog. We had to choose a web 2.0 that we wanted to learn about and do a glog on it. That was very fun, but I was frustrated when I couldn't move the type around to fit better in the shapes I chose. Working on designing ads for so many years, I am used to doing what ever I wanted with the text. I did my glog on Twitter. I find it fascinating that Twitter has that backchannel that can be used in education. During a lecture in a large lecture hall, the teacher can have a hashtag for the students to tweet messages that can be read in real time. If the student is shy, and has a question, it can be answered without even raising your hand.
I learned that Wikis are not just Wikipedia. On Wikia.com you can create your own wiki page on anything you want.
The video in cyberlesson 6 taught me a lot. I wanted to embed it here, but couldn't figure out how.
I learned more about drop box from Ryan Kneeppel's glog. Very interesting. It might have been handy where I used to work. Ad reps always gave us jump drives or emails with photos and graphics for their ads, If we had a drop box account we might have been able to find them more efficiently.
I had never heard of Yugma before I saw Alex's glog. It sounds very useful for the business world today.

I have included some pictures of a few of the glogs I learned from
