Online Experience Reflection

Online experience is a unique class that teaches you how to use a computer to your advantage. Many kids have used a computer and software, but never really understood it until this class.
Technology is extremely important in today's society. Every job available now seems to use a computer or some sort of technology. Technology helps us accomplish tasks with ease and speed. Technology lets us help others by creating vaccines and medications. Technology is the basis of the world. Over the past 5 years, technology has become more advanced and easy to understand. So many new products and gadgets are being created with new technology, and most likely will continue to blow our minds away.
Schools use a lot of computers, a lot of T.V's and some use smartboards. Kids in school use technology for assignments and research. I personally don't use computers a whole lot, I love watching football on T.V. though, and I enjoy watching college Basketball, as well as MLB. I also use technology when I play the Nintendo Wii or the PS2.
In the future, I don't think I will use much of any of these tools. I will probably use the blog a little, not much, and I might use iGoogle a little as well. I personally don't think any of the listed tools are practical for life-long learning. I think it can help keep you organized and help you with assignments, it might also be a requirement for some jobs though. I don't think I will ever use Delicious, Avatars, RSS feed, or the widgets and gadgets. It seems to complicated. The Avatar was the coolest though. You could create your own person and tell him whatever you want him/her to say. And you could dress him up anyway you wanted to. I think copyright was the most boring thing in the world. It was pointless in my opinion. I mean, I know its illegal, but there are so many cases nowadays, its getting useless to investigate the crime.
Overall I thought this was a good class, but most kids in my opinion, know more than the teachers who teach it. Kids nowadays, know how to hack and change. This was a good class and it was easy.

BLABBERIZE VS. VOKI

HONESTLY I LIKED THE VOKI BETTER. IT SEEMED MORE FITTING TO THE THINGS YOU WANTED IT TO DO. BLABBERIZE YOU CAN ONLY CONTROL WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO SAY. VOKI YOU CAN PICK WHAT YOUR CHARACTER WEARS AND WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE. MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED AND EASY TO USE. GO VOKI!!!!!
