NETS-T Stadards Prezi NETS T 2


Prezi Assingment Survey NETS-T 3 &4



In the Prezi assignment I did a little research be able to give data information. I had to download the software to be able to use it. It was fun zooming and learning the whole process.

Journal 5 “Learning Beyond Walls: 28 Resources for Your Students to Connect Globally,” NETS-T 3

In the article called “Learning Beyond Walls: 28 Resources for Your Students to Connect Globally,” I learned that there are many things to do for our students are teachers, parents, and members of communities. The use of technology is being discussed, but what is important about technology is that we have to make use of it. This article explains that global warming is one of the main issues talked about, but children are not aware of the magnitude of the problem. This article says that collaboration is needed in order to inform children about Global Warming and how they can help this problem.

How will technology inform children?

Most of the time children will be in the computer in websites such as Myspace, Facebook, and in their emails. Collaboration through emails and the communication media would help to make children aware of the Global Warming problems. If children get the warning from their Myspace, Facebook, and email forwarding it will be wasier for them to understand how important it is to know what it going on in the planet that they live in.

Will children actually care?

I believe mature teenagers will care knowing about Global Warming. With the collaboration of teachers, parents, and the community children will understand the importance of this issue. Eventually the children will start informing other friends across the world and through their website postings.Children will understand that collaborating with other students and friends through the network will help ameliorate this terrible issue that we have with Global Warming.

Journal 4 Computing in the Clouds NETS-T 3

“Computing in the Clouds” explains what it means to be computing in the clouds. During these last weeks I have opened many new accounts and doing different technology activities, but after I read this article everything made sense. I learned what the big deal of computing in the clouds. The best about this is that you don’t have to waste time in transferring data, using your computer memory, and that it’s all free! “Computing in the Clouds” warns the reader that there are many changes in technology, but there is a lot more to come. Johnson gave the example of him having to buy a $100 graphic calculator for his son many years ago, and now we are to the point that teachers will require parents to buy their K-12 a netbook. Ultimately, this explains what computing in the clouds means. The best of this is that you can go to any computer and find your information from the clouds.

In the future, will the grade as little as 2nd grade have to bring netbooks to school?
Netbooks are great for younger children and adults. The difference between netbooks and laptops is that netbooks are more convenient for children because of the size and the weight. Netbooks are small computers that weigh much less than regular laptops, but the best of them is that they are as equipped as a regular laptop. I believe that in the future netbooks or other new computers will be required by the teachers. Technology is racing and it’s going really fast, so fast that it’s becoming harder to keep up with it.

How long will it take for all these free accounts in the clouds to charge?
I think that the accounts that are currently free will have a cost in the future. The reason that it’s currently free is because it’s given a chance for users to experience computing in the clouds. Once these accounts and websites become more popular they will have a cost. I don’t think any time soon, but they will because many people are beginning to make Google and Delicious many of their main websites. Google offers free email account, and even free word office supplies when people pay over $50 in retail stores. Bottom line, I do believe that in the future there will eventually a cost for these free services.
