Students' reactions:
My Cyber partner experience was not a very enjoyable one. Mainly because she only wrote me once and then never responded again. I even wrote her an e-mail hoping that she would write but I gave up and forgot about it. I think that if my web pal would have shown some ambition and wrote some e-mails and started some kind of friendship things would have been a little smoother. Whatever though, I wasn't the only one who's web pal quit writing. A lot of the pals decided that they didn't want to do this project anymore so I don't feel so bad. My web also really didn't give me any advice or help with my web so that could be an aspect that she could have helped with. I think that it is really kind of sad that this happened with so many students and this isn't the only year that it has happened. Hopefully next year's class will have a better outcome than this year's. Rachel O. |
My web pal experience has been nothing but trouble. It was pretty good in the beginning when I received the first email. She told about herself and had some questions about me. I sent her a long email back and told and told about myself and answered the questions that she had asked about me. After I sent this email she never replied back to me. Everyone else in the class had been getting emails from there web partner except for me. I check my email daily and never get any mail from her helping me out on my web page. This is really disappointing because I was really looking forward to this experience. I hope that in the future she could start emailing me again so I would be able to get some help from her.

The experience I've had so far with my web pal has been good for the most part. At first it was hard to email her because I was always so busy with projects or assignments, but we've been able to get a few good emails back and forth. It was getting really coincidental for awhile because our names are both Kelly, and we ended up having a lot of things in common. For example, we both play the flute and are interested in art. I've tried emailing her recently, but when I try to send the email I get back a message that her account is over quota and the email won't deliver. Kelly V. |
