Reflection on Online Experience A 2011
Technology is important because it makes difficult tasks, easy. It can take something that could take 3 hours to look up in a dictionary and you type in a word and you have a definition. It has changed by becoming smaller and faster. Everything is now portable and the things that are stationary have unbelievable saving capabilities. I am hoping that everything will become even more portable and we can get faster with our equipment. I am also hoping that more things will become 3-d and we can update that technology to make it even more realistic.
The technology that I use for school work is mainly computers. We use many different websites and applications (such as the Microsoft Office) to get things better and faster. They help organize us so that we may learn better. I use computers for personal use and also cell phones and the Xbox and television. All of these are cutting edge and provide for a fun and interesting experience.
I may use some of these tools to create my own blog one day. I also may use these tools to create better powerpoints and documents. I think that blogging is the most practical for lifelong learning because you can view other's blogs and learn about different aspects of life and also, if you get an educational blog, you can learn about actual subjects. I doubt I will use much of the recording things later in life but it's always nice to know that these things are readily available if need be. My favorite to create was the widgets/gadgets. They have so many that it was interesting to see what they have. My least favorite to create was the avatars. Although it was very humorous, I didn't see much point to making someone online who looked like someone else and making it talk. Especially if you did a woman and you were a man talking.

NCAA Tournament by Jesus_Christ
1) This website is an audio website that allows you to record your voice or upload an already recorded sound. It creates WAVE, MP3, or even MP4.
2) This website was really easy to use. All you had to do was open an account and then click record. It would record it, save it, and allow you to post it somewhere all on one page.
3) I would recommend that Mrs. Fowler use this site in her classes in the future. It's a very nice website, involves almost no personal information, and is incredibly easy to use.

Angry Birds to Facebook? Sign Me Up!
The CEO of Rovio (the company that created the game Angry Birds) announced that the game will be available on Facebook within the next month. This game has taken off from just a game that a few people play to a game that thousands of people cannot get enough of. They have moved the game from being only a small app on the iPod to a game on Facebook, PSP, PS3, and they have their own animated series! I personally cannot wait for the game and will likely play it for hours on end when it comes out.
