Week 3, Web Technology

This week in class we learned about the resource, wikipedia. This is a resource that we will be using a lot in class and recommended to use. It is a great website used for creating pages and finding information. We also learned about to embedd videos on the blogger account. It is a very easy and simple process that I thought would be a lot more complicated then it was. Also, we learned about important vocabulary about the internet world that is very useful. Some of the words I knew but a lot of the terminlogy I did not know so it was great to learn more.

The internet terminology will come in great handy for future classes and jobs. These are important things I should know about and learn about. Especially since so much is done on the internet now and jobs and classes depend on the internet. Therefore, it is important to become aware of it and understand it as well as possible.

Most jobs in America, you are required to have completed some type of computer class to ensure that you know how to use a computer because most jobs incorporate a computer. Even in classes at school at UF a computer is required for success in the class.

Week 2, Educational Technology

This week we learned a lot about the mac and different icons of the mac and how to operate it. The icon apple on the top left screen is the button for shutting the computer on, off, and restarting. The dock is on the bottom consisting of many important icon features. The other main part of the mac that we learned about that was important was the shortcuts. This is simple and easy ways to getting to certain places on the mac with a simple keyboard press.

Knowing how to work the mac is very important to me and my education at University of Florida. Because, it can help my education by knowing how to be more productive on the computer and by getting more out of the computer. By knowing a lot about my computer too can help me achieve more than other students as well because I am more knowledgeable with the computer and what it has to offer.
