What a website means to me.

I will admit I had little knowledge of how to build a website. The thought of designing a website scare me, because I want the design,are doing to look professional. However, I want my personality to shine through in the web design. I will admit that I use to have Myspace and still have my account with Myspace. However, I hardly go on to the site any more. This is the second time I sign up for my space because I was getting an overload of stuff from people that I never even hear from before. I wanted to keep the site on because do have some friends from home on there. I do now use face book and have met many of my friends from my high school there. Facebook is a good site for me because can keep up with what is going on back home. The three sites that I really enjoy being the Google, Yola and word press. Google I thought would be good, since we are using our blogs through this site. I look at Yola and found it to be very interesting was one of the designs, I like on the site had a map and world globe, I thought that would be a good one since my minor is in history. I am still looking at word press. However, it seems to me to be very interesting. It is funny how much now we depend on the internet. For instance, how now we are taken classes on line and how we can book a flight to somewhere or even or how to do communicate with our family and friends who may not even live close to us. The only thing that worries me is as we learned in the video the first 5000 days. How eventually the technology of computer will be larger than our own brain. The technology world is changing and website that we know will change with it.

" The First 5000 days"

"The First 5000 Days"

"As I was watching the video I found, how amazing has our lives has changed in the last 10 years? As very shocked to realize how dependent we are on technology. However, I know that times are changing. I remember how my grandmother use to talk how she used to read stories about people going into space or even flying from one place to another, or even someone using a machine that can find information for you. This was a time when there were no computers, having airplanes, or even thought about going into space. I think that technology will be grounding breaking in the future; however, I do feel that it will be very scary especially as our generation gets older, because as we get older we do not like change, you can see that change is happening now in the world of technology. I found it also very interesting when the video talk about how in the next 5000 days that the web will have the processing power that will be greater than own human brain. Things are changing in the World Wide Web it will be up to us whether we as human embrace the changes of the web.

What makes me nervous I do not know enough about classroom technology. I want to learn much as possible because I feel that this class will be a great asset for me a future teacher. Furthermore, I am nervous because this is a very different class then I have every taken before. I think that all of us are nervous because most of us do not have the technology in the classroom when we were growing up, sometimes it is hard to see things change when you are in your comfort zone. I think also this will be great class for me because it will get me out of my comfort zone to learn new things again as a future teacher.

What I learn about the online tutoring was how many websites can be scams, and we need to be careful. When we are doing research work for our classes or anything we need to look up information. I also learn that from this day forward I will check out to make sure the site is a legal site and that is not a fraud.
