CS Review

The class covered mostly everything I had prior knowledge on about the internet search engine and Microsoft Office. Through the search engine and Microsoft Office projects, I was able to pick up small tips that could help me using the program more easily and efficiently. With my fist blog, the features and the assignments have opened up my mind and allowed me to speak my mind through the internet. The repetition of the Microsoft Office projects had made the class very bland. Suggestion: Create more short assignments/ games (like search engine) to help keep everyone interested, using competition.

Innovative Learning

Technology in the classroom has to become a necessity in the nearest future. The availability of internet access will spread the spectrum of knowledge and curriculum that a student will be open to. The internet has billions of resources that will unlock knowledge. The internet is basically the easiest way to gain information about anything and everything. Sure, in a room full of teens, the internet can provide that disturbance. At times, it will take away the learning experience of a student, but students should not be robbed of a new innovative way of learning.

Web Apps

 There are many online applications that can help students learn outside of the classroom. Schoology is an app that helps people with communications while using a simple social media user interface. Another good app is Quizinator, this app is designed for teachers who are looking to create worksheets that can be easily printed for their students. If you need to get organized than the best app for you out there is probably Notely, an app that organizes students and their hectic schedules. After all the work you do a good app to use for fun is GameVee, an app that allows the user to promote their own game and find other games to play. If that isn't good enough for you then you can use ChessKid, a game that allows you to play chess with people all around the world.

Hopeless Osama

In depth look: The letters of Osama bin Laden have just been release by President Barrack Obama administration. The small fraction of documents wrote by the hand of bin Laden and his followers were recovered in last year's raid of Osama bin Laden, leading to his death. Obama administration have hid the documents from the "worldwide" media, dis-encourage al-Qaeda from making aim at America and its allies. The documents heavily outlined the struggles and weakness of the terrorist organization. The documents have been claimed to be wrote from 2005 to 2011.
