Personally I don't like working with computer. There is no special reason. I think I am one of the digital immigrants. Maybe I could be someone who is just trying to immigrate to the digital world. But I can understand the powerful effects and fascination of web 2.0. My works on the web can be published to the world with the help of existing software. That makes me feel like I did something and became someone. But still I have to depend on the software to make blogs unless I'm the best computer programmer. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I do not like working with computers. Besides, I have to update often. Otherwise it will be left behind and look like just garage with out of fashion stuffs.
But the power of blog is amazing. In Korea, there are some people called 'power blogger'. They can make big money from posting advertisements because these blogs are very popular. People go to the blogs to find and share information. Likewise blog can be a very good virtual place to communicate regardless of location, age, and time. So it might be helpful to reduce prejudice that can occur in person-to-person situation.

Social Constructivism in Education
I believe every human being has his/her own ability. It could be in the area of commerce, arts, or science. That means eveyone can be a teacher in their field. At the same time, everyone can be a student out of their area. That's why people need to learn from each other . By respecting other's ability as well as mine, human can acquire truthful learning. I think that's the most valuable points of social constructivism in education.
