wrap up reflection

Technology is important because it helps us with everyday things. Technology has changed over the last five years by becoming faster and better. In the next five years it will get faster and better and idk. The technology i use for schoolwork is a calculator, cell phone, and computer.For personal use i use a computer,cellphone, and iPod.I think i will use some of these tools in the future for my job and for college. The tools that i think are most practical for lifelong learning is probably Google docs cause you can always use that.I think i would probably never use blogger again probably. My favorite to create was igoogle cause of the games on there. My least favorite was digital storytelling.

Screencast

A screen cast is when you record what you do on your computer screen and explain what you are doing as you do it. I like that i can help teach somebody how to do something knew. I dislike that you cant go back and just fix one part of a screen cast. This could be helpful to me if i needed an example of something i learned to put on my weebly.I think it would be most helpful to someone who doesn't know how to do something.

The second website i found was screenbird.

Second Screen Cast


The second website i found was screenbird. I found that it was very similar to screen cast besides the fact that when you start recording it counts down to three first other than that there the same. They are both very user friendly.I liked screen cast better.

Windows Live vs Google Docs

Windows live and Google docs are pretty much exactly the same except for the fact that windows live is easier because it has the same features and has more choices. They look different and both work well  and are accessible from any place with internet.

My number two is human services. My number three is manufacturing. But the cluster i would prefer is Education and training.

Review

Google docs is is a thing in google where you can make different documents and projects.
Wikis are websites you use to share what you know with other people.
There are many differet forms of assistive technology but all of them are used to help people get a job done easier.
Electronic portfolios are things where you can store info on yourself for people to see.

Spring Break

I think that it depends on where people put the info for what happens to it but once it out there you cant get it back. If a friend put a pic or video of me doing something embarrassing on the internet i might be mad but then i would probably just get over it. Yeah it is is because the only thing you usually see on face book is the stupid things people do that their friends think are funny. So now they know that they are being held accountable.

Project Wrap-up Assignment

I like that i can work on a project with someone else who isn't in the same area at the same time. I dislike that they can change what i do. Yes i did because it helped us to get work done faster. By making a chat area so you don't have to go back and forth. Overall I think my project turned out good.

Photo editing sites

http://advanced.aviary.com/
This site is hard to use. It confused me very much.
But it is easy to transfer pictures to other sites.

I like pixenate because everything you need is there and its obvious how to use all the tools.
http://pixenate.com/
with this site it is easy to transfer pictures to other sites such as flicker.
I like LunaPic beacuase it is easy to use. But it is also very slow and has to reload it everytime you make a change.

It is easy to upload and move pictures to other sites with this site.
