Todays presentations were interesting. I really enjoyed the digital microscope, I really did not get the name of it. This tool can be used for any science projects the students are doing. I also like the voki because you can make youself out to be what you want, great too for children to use in making stories and animating them, I liked it. I have learnt something new and very interesting with these presentations. Thank you everyone.

This has been an interesting course, imaging without the sound is nothing. I would not have understood the podcast that you showed because the sound was so intense. We should not take things like the creative aspects of learning away from our children, this is the way the future is going and we need to be aware and the main thing is that the teacher is willing to make that change for the better. If we break this barrier then we have accomplished a great deal towards bettering the learning process in education.

Some things that concern me the most is when students should not give out their addresses, home phone numbers and any other personal information. All student are made aware not to post their personal information from the computer teacher once they enter the computer lab. Students should always ask the teacher even before they post anything if it is ok to post it....review by the teacher. All students should show respect to everyone they meet on line and to have respect on the wikis and blogs.

Everyone can use a blog to express your ideas and thoughts on any subject. A blog gives us time to think about an idea and you can make comments on a blog. The ideas are viewed as each ones opinion but the wikis can and will recieve correction and it tends to contain critizism. The author of a book gets the opinions and ideas of a student who can help the author write the book. This can be helpful and the student has a hand in creating or collaborating in writing a book.

High Speed Internet is a very useful tool to have today because of the time it takes to log on to a computer using dail up. By the time a whole class can log in during computer class time ...their class time is over. This is one the reasons why high speed is necessary especially for the schools. Another reason is ,time, alot of people today are either rushing to and from work or other places. People today do not have the patience like people before modern technology. The community who has this essential tool have more power to control their services as well as gaining other resources from else where. This is why I believe that both students and communities who have access to high speed internet have both time and power with this tool.

I think that blogging is and can be a very useful tool used in the classrooms because children with great imagination will give you their opinions which can lead to a great story. These students will eventually realize that they are writers and the best thing about this is that they are also authors who have been published. I find that alot of students do not like to use a pencil when it comes down to creating stories that is why this is an excellent tool for every teacher to create a class blogg for their classroom.
