During this course I have used several different types of learning materials
which I have never used before in my four years of High school.
Several of the courses I have taken have been structured to
be an old school fashioned classroom where the teacher lectures,
and then given you a stack of reading with comprehension questions..
In a large contrast to this style is utilizing several different sources of learning such as Youtube, Khan Academy, as well as communicating through multiple social networks such as twitter and blogger. 
I do think that all of these different learning resources, have their place in schools, as they bring in a different approach to learning which appeal to students with a heavier reliance to that learning style. But just as the visual and audio learning needs to be more frequently introduced into the curriculum , it needs to be balanced with note taking as well as lecture, and hands on activities. All learning styles need to be touched upon in order to be able to have a classroom which accommodates all students.
