Online Experience B Reflection

Technology is important because it is essential to daily life now. Without technology I don't think we would've come nearly as far as we are now. Technology has advanced more in the last five years than it has ever. There is newer and newer stuff being realesed to improve it. In the last five years technology has gotten bigger and the devices containing it have gotten smaller. In the next five years I think that technology will get even more better than it is now.

The technology I use for school work is mostly the computer. I use it for at least 70 minutes everyday in computers class. If I ever have homework that I can't figure out I just go on the internet and the answer is normally on their. When I get home from school the first thing I do is, of course, get something to eat, but after that I go straight to my computer and go on facebook and twitter. I like to keep in touch with my friends even when I'm not with them.

I think that I will use the tools that I learned in here a little in the future. I will probably use the tools we learned about in exel and maybe google docs. The tool that is practical is being able to navigate your way around the technology that surrounds you. I really don't think that I will ever use the weebly tool ever again unless it is in another computers class but other than that I didn't find much use for it. I enjoyed making digital stories because it abled us to be creative and pretty much put what we wanted to on their. My least favorite was the research that we had to do becaue I do not enjoy doing research. I would much rather be surfing the web than searching something that I didn't even want to in the first place.

Screencast 2

For my second screencast I used the web site www.screenr.com. Both web sites that I used were pretty much the same. They were very easy to use and easy to navigate. However, the web site I used today didn't make you register a new account, you just had to use your email. I personaly liked the web site that I used today better than the one yesterday, but they were both good web sites.

Screencast Review

A screencast is a video that you take of your computer screen so you can show people how to do something. I like learning how to use one so if I even need to use one in the future than I can. I also liked teaching how to do something. However, I didn't like talking in it because I feel awkward when I do it around other people, and I don't like hearing the sound of my voice. This could be helpful to me if I ever need to show people how to do something I can just film my computer screen and teach people. It would be most helpful to the people who are watching it, because if someone needs to learn how to do something then they can see exactly how to do it.

Software Licensing

Windows live is more like microsoft word and is almost the exact same. Google docs is much more different than microsoft word and windows live. Ways that the two are alike are they both have the options to do word documents, powerpoins, and other options that are like microsoft. I find that google docs is a little easier to find your way around than windows live. Windows live also allows you to embed thing and google docs does not have that option

Technology Article

Doctor's are live tweeting a brain surgery on a 21 year old lady to show people about brain tumors. You are able to watch the whole operation live (if your stomach can handle it) and see what the doctors really do for a change. Over 190,000 people a year are diagnosed with brain tumors and the whole idea of the project is to educate the public about brain tumors using a popular social network.
