Online B Reflection

Technology is important in our lives because it is everywhere. Almost everything we do now has something to do with technology. In the last 5 years technology has changed due to upgrades in Windows, Google, and many other things. In the next 5 years technology will become very advanced and easier to use. I believe we will find out how to do all kinds of new things easier that will make our lives more productive and waste less time. The kind of technology that I use for school work is usually a computer or an ipod to research or to use for big papers and of course computer class. For personal use I use computers, ipods, and cell phones to make my life easier in many different ways. Some of the tools I learned how to use were Google Docs, Excel, and Career Exploration. These tools are the tools i will use now and later in the future. Google Docs is probably the most practical for future learning because it helps us do work from different places and know it's safe. One tool I think that I will never use again is Screencasting because I don't find it helpful. Google Docs is the tool I like the most to create. My least favorite tool to create is a screencast because, again, I don't find this helpful.

Reflection

I liked assessing my skills and interest in career cruising. even though it wasnt the most exciting thing to do. now i have a better idea in the the path i want and need to take to be successful in life.

Windows Live vs. Google Docs

I personally think that Google Docs is a easier program to use because everything is right in front of you for you to use. Windows live is similar but a little less user friendly. It might be that I am just used to Google Docs more than Windows Live

Screencast Comparison

The two screencasting websites I used were Screencast-o-matic, and screencast.com. Personally I enjoyed using Screencast-o-matic more because it is easy to use and it is a little more user-friendly. I also liked it more because it was very fast tot use and you could find things very easily compared to the other site.

Screencast

A screen cast is a new way of telling somebody how to do a certain task. Instead of just telling them what to do, it allows whoever is being taught to see and hear exactly how to do something. the actual definition of a screencast is "A digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration."

Tech. Article

The technology article that I read is about how Google is trying to improve it search or make it more personal. They say that they are trying to make it think more like a person. Basically it reviews your history of searches and picks the top results that would be suitable for your search needs. This will make your searches faster and easier to use the Google Search tool.
