Technological Tools

Hey everyone,

As I have gotten into the later years in school, I have seen more and more technological tools used in school to advance the learning of students. Technological tools that I have used in class are youtube, calculators, and clickers. All of these tools help to further students education and are seen as more interactive. Other tools that I use for studying are google, wikipedia, and my cell phone. While none of the tools I use for studying provide strong sources of information, they provide background information which helps enhance a students knowledge about a subject. Technology in the classroom is more innovative and a better way to connect with students, especially moving forward. As technology continues to improve it will only enhance students abilities to learn even more.

Technology and Business go Hand-in-Hand

Hey Everyone,

For those of you who don't know me, I am a business management major. I was able to find a video that talked about how technology can improve a business. The video touched on points that will be very helpful to me in the future if I am fortunate to manage my own business. A couple of points that stood out to me were to know what factors are critical to a company's success and don't reinvent the wheel, or in other words, do what works. Technology can help to further a business if used in the right way and this video touched on how to get the most out of technology, which in the long run will only benefit a business.

My Favorite Sites

Hey Class,

I couldn't decide which website I consider my absolute favorite so I thought I would share two that are tied:
http://espn.go.com/: I check this site every time I get online to see what is going on in the sports world. I am a huge sports fan and espn provides me with all the latest scores and updates. The site is easy to use and always me to track my favorite teams, such as Washington Redskins and the Washington Capitals. If you are a true sports fan you should be on espn so you can be up to date on whats going on in the sports world too.
http://www.youtube.com/: I am on youtube most of the time I am online. It is a great site to listen to music on or watch funny videos. You can also look videos up that will walk you through how to do things and there are also educational videos that can help with school. Overall, it is a easy and helpful site to use.
