Online A Reflection

Technology is important because we use it in everyday life. Technology has changed over the past 5 years because it has became more mobile and people use it almost everywhere. I think that in the next 5 years the technology will become more advanced than we ever dreamed. I use search engines and word processing programs for my school work. I use browsers and very little social networking. I think I will use these tools when I am doing projects or presentations in the future. I think that the safety tools are the most practical tools for lifelong learning. I don't think that I will ever use a blog again. My favorite tool was learning how to use and download the gadgets. My least favorite thing that we did was the avatars because the tools were limited when creating them.

March 1st--Podcast

The Galaxy Note 2 has a 1.6 Quad core processor. It has many pre-installed apps built in to the system. Smart stay allows the phone to keep the screen on by scanning your eyes, if you're watching something or playing a game. Smart rotation uses the front-facing camera to determine which direction to rotate. S-Pen allows you to take notes from your home-screen by just taking the pen out of it's port. On the international version the Galaxy Note 2 has some features that you won't find on the U.S. version. The international version can be split-screen so you can browse the Internet and look at a map at the same time. Each version of the phone changes for each phone carrier. AT&T doesn't have the split-screen option, but the Verizon version does. Samsung tries to keep the software the same on each version for the carrier, but not all carriers want the ones with part of the software that is optional.

I liked learning this way because it is different than the "normal" ways of teaching. I think people create podcast over text because the podcast are easy to make and use. This information is reliable and opinion based, some aspects were opinion based and others were facts about the phone.

Tech Article

4G Networks can do more than we ever imagined. Downloading videos in a few minutes can be good, but will consume your data usage fast. We can use our phones to control items in our house, but after the battery dies, you have to wait for it to recharge. It lets you work from anywhere in the world with the touch of a finger. Eventually, people predict that we will be able to talk to our cars not just through them.

Voki v.s Blabberize


I found that they were both easy to use after we figured out what was going wrong. I liked Blabberize more than Voki because you were able to pick a picture and pick where the mouth moves. I would use Blabberize again because it was more customizable. I could use these for another blog or website and a project.
