phones, and internet. All the information and books you need is in the computer waiting for it to be used. Before we had all this technology, most people would open a book to find their information they need. Essays would be on paper instead of Google Docs. “The Net is becoming a universal…
People love trees, because of their refreshing colors and solid trunks. Trees produce oxygen for life and provide a habitat for animals. However, since July 14, 2015, paper consumption at Franklin & Marshall college has required 42 trees for the Papercut system alone. Those trees will take 15 years to grow back. The biggest problem with our paper consumption is that people are cutting trees and depleting forests at an unsustainable rate. The best solution to this problem is to decrease paper…
Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia have discussed similarities and differences of the two countries school systems. We exchanged information through various modern communication styles; which includes: email, skype, wiki blogs, and through Google docs. I was shocked to discover that the educational system in Australia is very similar to the system that we are familiar with here in the United States. Through email, the students from Victoria University shared that Australia places a…
In the first week of this class, all members in my group had expressed their expectations about behaviors and attitudes the group should have. I think I am very engaged and productive during in class group work. Also, I think my other teammates are very productive and engaged in the in class group work. I spoke out my ideas about the questions or topic that have been asked. Also, I find quotes from the book to help my teammates understand. I try my best to communicate and be helpful in our group…
My computer is an Apple MacBook Pro 13’. A MacBook is part of Apple’s computer family and was introduced in 2006. Every since then, technology has improved greatly and now a lot of the newer Macs are enhanced. For example, in 2013, Apple released “retina display” to their computer family to enhance the screen for consumers to use. The new retina display screens are way more bright and clear. I mainly use my MacBook for everything, from watching Netflix, to doing all different types of school…
lot of strategic planning as faculty members had to vote for students to receive these awards. The voting was done electronically via Google Forms, which was not only convenient, but allowed faculty members to vote privately. In addition to managing the voting process, I created framed certificates for each winner. Currently, Psi Chi members are using Google Docs to electronically vote for their 2018-2019 executive…
I was definitely not the best partner to work with this week as I was on vacation until Saturday morning and had little time on my computer. However, Yoselin was super understanding and we used text messaging to have the most efficient conversations about our project. As for group work, I am usually against the idea because I tend to be an introvert who wants to have all the control of what is being submitted. It is sometimes difficult for members of a group to have equal responsibilities.…
constantly being on our phones looking at Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, texts, or even just googling something that we don’t know. We do so much on the internet it’s unthinkable. From checking our stories on social media to writing our school essays on a google doc, everything we do is digitized. Naturally for all that access and service there is a price. What we don’t know is that everything we do on the internet is watched and bits of that data called “cookies” are collected and stored by…
This unit is designed to suit the learning needs of a fifth-grade integrated classroom. The theme I chose for this unit is "Volcano" and I chose this theme because, in science, the students are currently studying natural disasters with a focus on volcanoes. In English Language Arts, the students are currently working on comparing and contrasting, and as a result, this theme was designed to provide opportunities for students to build on that skill. The theme allows for students to use a plethora…
famous president, author, actor, etc. and make their lips. Additionally, they have videos where the picture comes to life. Humorous and attention grabbing are two great way to describe this site. Glogster- This is a 3D poster creator online. Google Docs- If you want students to be accountable in creating a paper or PowerPoint, with evidence to support it, this is what you use. Essentially you can create any type of document in Microsoft office using this, but multiple people can work on it…
