IT Reflection


What can I say about I.T? First of all, I loved it! It was such a fun class for me and I always looked forward to coming to it. My favorite thing of all about I.T was learning new programs and getting better at things. For example, before I.T I didn't really know how to use iMovie but since we did a big project on it, I have become really good at it! I also liked how it wasn't incredibly serious like we could go on Youtube and we looked at movie trailers because they are a source of technology. :P
I also liked making a new blog and having people look at it. That is really cool!

I would like the Speed of the network to be improved because some I.T. classes were wasted because we couldn't do what we wanted on the Internet. That is basically the only thing that I think could have been improved.

There is an article on Facebook(http://www.news.com.au/technology/story/0,28348,25100716-5014239,00.html) talking about how technology can effect children's brains. I completely disagree with this article. I spend some of my time on MSN and I have really good attention span. I don't think this can really affect your brain unless you already have something wrong with it. They are saying that flashing lights make you look at them. WELL OF COURSE THEY DO! The human brain is made that way. When you see something move, you look at it. It is like in a play. If someone is mid stage and saying their lines and the actor behind them is swaying their body, you will be paying attention to the one swaying its body because it will attract your eyes and attention! It is common sense to me. Also, I think that the education level has gone up in the last 20 years...not down. 20 years ago, people didn't have the same education as you would now so kids nowadays are really learning more than what their parents and elders did! You should check the article out and post a comment to me about your opinion...

My WORDLE




This is the picture that I created on wordle!

Intro to me

The reason I created this blog was for my IT class. (A technology class.) My class and another one in my school are collaborating on projects with a class on the other side of the world. I go to an international school in South East Asia. (I am in Middle School.) I am from the United States and am living here because of my mom's work. I hope that you enjoy this blog and find it interesting. :)I am 11 years old (a girl) and I have lived in Malaysia for about 4 years. It is really cool to live over seas because it is so different from the USA. I come back to visit about every year. (28-32 hour fligh. YUCK!) The weather here is ALWAYS HOT!!! EVERY day it is 95 degrees and 70% hummidity. That is just really hot. We also don't have seasons. JUST summer. So while you are wrapped up in sweatshirts, I am here in shorts and a T-shirt. I really miss the cold though. I loved spring the best! I lived in Minnesota for 7 and 1/2 years so I am used to being around snow. My favorite sports are basketball and baseball. They don't have baseball over here though. I also really miss TACO BELL AND ALL THE CANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We don't have the same stuff over here but I get to go to really cool places! For example, I have been to Thailand, China and tomorrow I am flying off to Australia for the second time.
