I'll say it again!

I said it before and i'll say it again, I can't believe how much our technonogy failed us, and this is technology class...so ironic. I was so not impressed tonite when presenting our project we couldn't even controll what slide we wanted...because of technology...just felt hopeless..

Trying to keep up...

When purchusing things today, your thinking you;ll get the best quality one , just to make sure it will last for a god amount of time...well thats what I do.....but...when purchusing anything that has to do with technology, does it even matter, in a few months it will need an upgrade or something new will come along that all of the sudden is needed. It's so frustrating, cause you'll never be able to get a computer that will last a long time with out having to tinker with it to get it up to date...I just find it so frustrating.

Blog Assingment...Chapter 6

1). What type of issues would you worry about in terms of students producing content for sharing with the world via the web.- The number one worry I as A parent would have is, my child giving there personal information out to perfect strangers. We hear so much today on the news of children being abducted by indivuals they have met on the internet. Another thing I worry about is childrens drama, eveything children feel now a day is posted on the web..thats includes feeling of dislike towards other children, which can cause allot of drama, hurt feelings, unnessisary trouble and even in some cases, court issues.

2). Identify three practices or rules that you believe would be good practice in protecting students on the web. Elaborate on why you have choosen each.- One way to protect students on the web, is a a teacher block any content for your student that has nothing to do with education, this way our students have no way to obbtain any information about anything thats has no educational value. 2. Another way is to not allow student in the computer lab unless accompanied by a teacher thats is monitering thier activities on the web, having a teacher over their shoulder will definately discourrage them from trying to access anything but education information. 3. Have any activity that is done on the schools computers monitered through the school, so if children do access anything besides education info, the school will find out and deal with the children appropriately.

How Ironic!

I find it so ironic that this is technology class, and we've had so much trouble , technology wise. Our last course we might of had one or two challenges, even then it was nothing major, but in this course, were pretty much gaurenteed a couple glitches a nite, and some times major glitches. I just find i so ironic that it's technology class and we just can't seem to pat into the technology...haha

Blog Assingment..Chapter 4

1- Novel study with author participation: I would think this was something you would blog, writing what you thought about something and having someone read it and comment on it.

2- Students at two firat nations schools in N.B and B.C recording and sharing native stories and music: I think this would be something for a wikispace, recording things you know and having others record the things they know, sharing their information for people to read.

3- Daily science journal: This would definately be a blog, recording your findings about somthing on daily basis.

4- Students creative writing with peer review: I would have to say wikispace, writing something and having your peers help rewrite it, by them reviewing it, letting you know where things could be changed and giving comments, would be a collaboration, and thats what a wikispace is.

Online Booking!

The computer has made it so easy for us in many ways, one of them is booking your travel. We've decided to take a trip and did all our booking via internet. We checked different sites for prices and dates, did the bookings and didn't have to leave the comfort of our home. I think this is great, no travel from one agency to another to get the best price, just a simle tap of the finger, how great is that, now if technology could only pay for it...lol...that would be really great.

Walmarts A digital dream....

Wow... god bless walmart and their digital photo center. I can't stop going on line and ordering pictures... I don't even know where to put them no more. I'm actually sending in pictures of snow and getting them developed...just cause I can..lol..this is coming from someone who loved the polaroid because it was so convenient...but all the croping and enhancing that can be done... is great....never could of done that with a polaroid...

My New Obsession!

You know I never thought I'd be one to sit on the couch and stare at computer for hours...But omg, I am. I found A new love...his name is HP Pavilion....I can't imagine sitting in the house and not chatting on msn or creeping on facebook. One time ago I couldn't turn the damn thing on, and now I can't seem to turn it off, I even no how to do other things...lol...I always said I would never sit there on the computer, couldn't see how anyone could, but now all i can say is, how boring life was without it...
