1/31/17 Words for Teenagers

I thought this newspaper clip was very powerful for it being a very small bit of this article. I strongly agree with what John Tapene says about what teenagers should do. He was telling us that teenagers need to go out in the world, and do their part as young adults. He is telling this group of people to do their chores, homework, read, visit the sick, and get a job. He wants the point to get across to them that they have to take action today, and how the world owes them nothing. They can't wait around for someone to do it; they have to be that someone.  "You are too important and you are needed. It's too late to sit around and wait for somebody to do something someday," said Tapene, "Someday is now and that somebody is you!"

 

1/26/17 Social Bookmarking CE

I have a completely new understanding of social bookmarking after ready this article. It gave me incredible insight of what the social bookmarking world looks like. Social bookmarking is a very helpful and beneficial tool. It helps you get to the sites you want quicker and easier, and it is a great organizing tool too. I learned about del.icio.us, a renowned social bookmarking web site, and I hope to use it sometime soon, so I can be able to use a variety of different social bookmarking sites. I had a lot of fun researching and learning more about social bookmarking.

1/26/17 Reflection on Chrome and Symbaloo

The two most efficient bookmarking programs are Chrome and Symbaloo. They are both easy to use. For me Symbaloo is more fun to use because you can add a visual element to this program, and have a fun way to organize what you need. Symbaloo also has the ability to share other web mixes with other people using Symbaloo.  On the other hand, Chrome only has a small tab bar and the ability to put stuff in folders. It is better to use Chrome bookmarking when you are wanting to quickly pull up a link. Symbaloo was my favorite one, but both programs are awesome to use.

1/24 Introduction to Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is quite fascinating. It is a tool people use to help them organize, store, search, and manage their web pages. I learned about this tool in my Emerging Technologies class. It is very convenient for people to quickly get to the websites they need. It is a big time saver when you are in a crunch to get stuff done. It is a very efficient tool to use too. You can even create folders to organize your websites even further. There is even one called Symbaloo. Symbaloo lets you put certain web links in a visual setting. It keeps you very organized. I have found social bookmarking very sufficient to use.

1/17/17 - "PREZI Reflection"

I feel that Prezi was fairly easy to use. In fact, it was as easy as Power Point. The tools on Prezi were easy to find and use. I was able to apply what I wanted for the presentation quickly and efficiently. Personally I would choose Prezi over Power Point because the formatting and presentation of Prezi is visually better.
