Thoughts on Web 2.0

I thought the video was really interesting because it used the web to explain the web itself. I like how they personified the machine by saying that it was us because it is essentially what we put into it. I think it was a very important message and I like how it was executed.

Internet Mind Reader Video Response

I think the video of the mind reader was really interesting. It made me think of what kind of information I had on Facebook and how it could be used against me. I was surprised at how much the man knew about the people, but I was not worried or scared because I have not updated my status in a year, when I first made my profile. Although I do not think I have any valuable information on the internet as of right now, I will definitely be careful in the future.

IMED 1291.83831

a. The goal of my project is to reach out to students who have different learning techniques through the addition of tablets in the classroom.
b. As our nation becomes more technologically advanced, it is important for children to get a head start and become comfortable with technology at a young age. This will help them in their future careers and it will also enable them to find several solutions to a single problem.
c. These goals fit with my career objective because I want to become an elementary school teacher, and I will be able to make a technology-based curriculum that I can use in the future.
d. My project gives back to society because I will be able to offer a solution to a problem that I witness in my volunteering.
e. The curriculum will teach kids different ways in which they can solve a problem and they will learn which way they retain information best. The community will benefit because the more students learn, the more efficient our community will be in the future.
