Day 6 Review

On Day 6 the ocean parted and the heavens came down to meet the earth on what would infamously be known as D A Y S I X. I'm still getting the Smartboard technology out of my system and in doing so my head got smashed with more new technology. This class is like a freight train of new technology. Today we were introduced to Skype and Elluminate. From the looks of it, they have their practical uses and I can see how effective they can be- under the right circumstances. I like how Professor used Skype to talk to her fellow administrator for effect and for information on the technology. She killed two birds with one stone - and to be clear I think it is wrong to kill birds for all the PETA nuts out there. The coolest thing about class was the interaction she had with her daughter. The fact that you can share documents and work on each others projects through the internet is awesome. I can really see the practicality of this for school and work- Teachers can help students , students can help students, Managers can help associates, etc etc ..... With the many things we do in this class, hands-on is the best way to actually understand and figure out how it works. Simply watching a tutorial is not always the best use of our time.
The rest of class was cool for me. I worked on one of the movie making programs(the name escapes me becuase I don't have the software on my computer). Those are fun for school projects or even making a family album with pictures and nostalgic music. The possibilites are endless. I love that kind of stuff.
