Two More for The Roll

For this blog I was asked to add two more blogs. These blogs had to do with what I am interested in. I chose one that is something I love to, swim. The second one I chose had to do with space, which I love to learn about.

The blog I found about swimming is called My Daily Swim. It updates fun facts about swimming that are happening across the country. On the blog it also gives you workout ideas. I think that is can be useful because I started competing swimming when I was only 8. I miss swimming all the time, so this blog can help me come up with ideas for a work out.

The second blog I found is Universe Today. This blog talks about all the things that are happening in space. I find this something I would look foreword to reading everyday and learning new things about space. On the blog they show great videos and pictures, and have explanations to go with them. Also they have a new post almost everyday some days they even have more then one.

This is one of the pictures that was on the Universe Today.

I am really looking foreword to reading what these blogs have to say everyday. I also feel they will help me to understand blogging allot more.

Technology in the Class Room!

Personally I feel that technology can be a good thing in the class room, but there are ways that it can be a down fall to some assignments. For example group projects the group can just be playing games or looking irrelevant things on the computer, or having only one person doing all the work.  Even with individual activities students tend to mess around and take twice as long as it should take to get things done. There is also the fact that some times the computers do not like to work properly or the Internet is being slow because of the number of students on, but that will always be one of the problems with technology.  I’m not saying that technology should not be used in the class room, because there are pluses to having it in the class room, an example being that you can have more research done about the topic the class is talking about and you can find a wide range of information. By using technology it is helping students understand the way society is going and it also cuts back on using materials in class like paper. For teachers technology does make it easy to give a lesson because there are smart boards now and more and more schools are getting them. They are replacing the black board and white board. Not only that but it makes it easy for students to interact with the lesson and teachers are able to give more examples using the technology.
