Application Overload

The skills I possess for computers allows me to get by in all my classes. I can do all the basic things and a little black magic, like on paint when I helped show the class how to save their wordle with the extra stuff floating around magically disappearing, but that's it. I don't go crazy with adding a lot of application on my iPod touch like a lot of friends, I have no need for it. I feel as though a lot of the applications are just fluff and pointless. I think the range of Web 2.0 applications integrated into a professor's course web site is minimal. I had a professor last semester whose website was out of control. She had so many links leading students left, right, upside down, backwards, and even no where. It was literally the most confusing website I have ever been to. She told us on the first day she put together the website to be beneficial to all of us and everything we needed could be found there.. but no one was really sure as to how to actual find the information needed. It would have been a lot less stressful and time consuming if she had just emailed us what we needed or placed it on blackboard. Just because advanced technology exsists, it doesn't have to be utilized in every action of your day. All I need on a professor's course website is their email, a list of assignments, and their office hours.
My goals are to gain what I can from all my classes and to get good grades. I study best by making flashcards and rewriting my notes. If I need to talk to a professor I will email them or visit them during office hours if I have time. If I know students in class who I think will be able to answer my question I'll ask them prior to asking the professor.
