What were the positive sides of Technology Class.?
Like most of the class, I did not see a computer in my school years until I was a senior in high school. During that time, it was just basis uses of the computers. The one thing that I really enjoy in our class was the WebQuest; yes sometimes I wanted to pull out my hair because something would not go right on the WebQuest. I think that one lesson that will be very beneficial teachers in a classroom. Another lesson that I really enjoy doing was our database lesson it was fun making a lesson plan using ideas from other teachers and ideas of your own. The power points were very creative I will admit that at first I did not like doing them. I thought something was missing, however, at the end I really enjoying doing the power points and look forward to doing them again.
Technology has enriched my life in so many ways, from taken class online and continuing my education, to e-mailing my friends and family down home in Florida. Technology is great learning tool that each of us will continue to learn in the future.

video logs
Veronica Blog
Well this week we were suppose to either do a video log or view vlogs what a task that we had to do. I never do how many people vlogs about anything. Just a few examples were there were many vlogs on ASL deaf community for video blogging to showing how dreadlocks do. There were many inspirational vlogs about how people cope a disease that they have just as a boy who aspenger syndrome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbgUjmeC-4o. Another example of video logging was a young girl talking about cooking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7eyPtADybs. I will have to admit some of the videos logs were a little too much. I am not sure if video logging is for me right I do not have the equipment to do video logging. However being shy, I am not sure if I could put myself out there for the world to see. I do feel that video logs will be more and more in common in the future. I will admit I did try to find video logs that were educational most of them I found that I saw were students telling how bad their teachers were. I know if I can searching I will find more. I think again that vlogs will be use in our children future education needs.

Veronic Blog on Schools Kill Creativity
Veronica Blog on schools kills creativity
"Education takes you into the future that we can't grasp. (Robison) What a powerful statement. It is true how much education has become so unpredictable. Children use to be able to expression themselves in the arts. However, many school now have taken away the music programs and art programs because of cost and because of more focus is on Mathematics and English ever, many school now have taken away the music programs and art programs because of cost and many feel that it is not necessary to teach children about art and music.
"If don't prepare kids that okay to do wrong, then as adult they never learned to come up with things." (Robison) I thought about this and I watch how my seven old daughter was getting very upset because you she could not remember her spelling words and she ended tearing up the paper because she was suppose to creative sentence with her words.
I like how Sir Ken Robinson talk about how "why don't we teach dance every day like we do math." I agree with Sir Ken Robison when he talks about how we only teach from the waste up. To me this has me thinking what great idea, we worried about our kid's health, and how they are getting heavy and heavy each year. Many people do not realize that we use math in music and in dance. Studies have shown that more people that use music and art have a better standing of math.
It is scary to think that because of so much pressure on kids today that feel that is different can be a curse.

Power Point
Veronica Blog on Power Point
The worst Power Point that I had every experience was one I was in my geology class. In the class, we had to make a power point presentation for our final class. One of the presentation was very confusing the person use different sound effects, different fonts, each slide had a different fade in and out before you saw what the presentation was about.
Because of the things going on in the power point, it was very hard to keep focus on what the power point was suppose to be about.

Hans Rosling
Veronica Blog on Hans Rosling:
I found Hans Rosling to be very entertaining in a way that you do not realize that you were learning something new. I love how he used data from the 1960's and compare it today worlds. How much as change. One of my favorites was how he used it see how much as change from the Vietnam War in regards to families. Because of the great animation, that Hans Rosling used in his video presentation it made it easier to understand how important Data is to all of us. Hans Rosling started a "non-profit venture called Gapminder. This software will link data to animations.
I love to hear one of his talks
