A Teacher's HandyMan

Well, i have found that a notebook-gradebook and a online gradebook come in handy as a teacher. if the internet is down it is always good to have your grades wrote down for backup and its extremely convenient to have your grades done online so it works faster and is more sufficient. Also, i like the smartboard for teachers. In my highschool we used them and it made the learning time cut in half. instead of the teacher writing every little thing down, you can have it pulled up on the internet and you can erase things and write more. I just think its better overall for teaching.

Dear Technology, you teach me so much.

 Again, Technology just doesn't want to stop! it's on a one way street to take over the word. the possibility of singularity is inclosing upon us. But as for right now, school devices such as netbooks, tablet computers, and eBook reader devices are making it easier and more sufficient to get school work done quicker.

Oh UCLA, where you get these ideas amazes me. Apparently, it is okay to use them during your nursing job. It can help you remember the body parts whenever you need to WHILE listening to some of your favorite jams. sounds great huh! I would like to know where my ipod is for being a teacher. how will i ever remember all of those children's names!?! but honestly i do think that the ipod touch is going to be a big help in educating students. i think it could be a great studying tool, however i don't think that they need to be used all the time on the job. we pay money to learn them while in school. it is okay to just make sure your correct but if you are going to be a nurse or doctor operating from the directions of your ipod that could be dangerous!

If Chapters 1&&2 were shorter this would of been easier.

1. Wow! well I for sure ten years ago would have never thought that the technology we have these days would be here. I believe it has gone above and beyond already. what more should we expect? a important thing from these chapters is that they, in fact, are informing us that what we are getting used to is only going to get more and more complex. We would think that it should of gotten easier, but with the population growing, so is the web. But with the web growing, i think that it is a way for we the people to enhance our creativity, artistry, play, and social status. we can expand our minds and learn so much from what the web has to offer. "The united states recognizes the need to improve technology."(Page 12) This improvement is going to be helped with the world wide web!


2. Well isn't this a funny thing, New corporations are growing as well. Shopping online is the new mall of America! You can get just about anything online. You can even get a job online! its insane."For all its appeal to the young and the wired, Web 2.0 may end up having its greatest impact on businesses. And that could usher in more changes in corporations, already in the throes of such tech-driven transformations as globalization and outsourcing." (page 16) There is no telling right now where technology will take businesses in the next twenty years.
