Tom’s Super Blog!

In the last week of online communications  we have been moving faster than ever and its been a journey to keep up, but I like it. We have subscribed to this website edublogs and blogging to me has been quite a duzee. 

We enter various passages and we get to customize our page to make it our own.  We have been exploring on how to use this website and has been new to all of us. I think that at the end of this we will all be more knoledgable about how to use blogs and other internet tools =].

We have recieved our grades for our technology auto biographys and i feel that i did exactly how i wanted. I got a 175 out of 200 and that is a 87 which is great in my book.  I worked really hard to complete this assignment but i have to admit the hardest part was probally the citation of all my pictures.  I never knew that you had to go through that much work to cite works that you used.  I learned that you need the authors name, the site name, the last time it was updated and i never thought it was that complicated for something that took such a short time to do.  I guess you learn something new in this world everyday.

Our first week in this class was a good one, i learned more than I ever know about computers and various use of computers.  I learned the coolest trick on how to use Google searches by adding things such as slashes hyphens and asterix. We also started a project on a technology auto biography where we tell about our lives and how technology has affected it. We are using a program called windows movie maker where it allows you to edit and create your very own masterpiece. I have learned how to record audio and place it in my movie, it has truly been an adventure.

Well this year i met Mr. Stengel on the first day of school in 1st period lanuage and literaure and later on in life i found that he also taught my 6th period online communications class too. At first I had a feeling of resentment of taking the class, I knew it would be a challenge and thats a good thing. I start my morning with Mr. Stengel and basically end it with him too and i wouldnt have had it any other way.

Mr Stengel is……

1. A very intelectual person

2. A nice man

3. A funny man

4. A man who is a great teacher

5. The bomb shizzle
