Online experience "experience" :)

I think that Online Experience is a good class to take, it helps you learn about how to use the technology we have today. I think it is important that we learn from this because we all want to be able to use this technology the right way, not the wrong way. Mrs. Fowler helps us a lot with the computers, and the assignments, and it is usually fun, making it easier to learn.

I think technology is important because it is an important asset in every day life, it helps us to complete tasks, work easier, communicate, entertain, and teach. I use a lot of technology for fun, which includes: Video games, computer games, listening to music, and communicating with people/friends.

Technology has changed in many ways, but in the last five years it has had a rapid change. Computers, and all of your everyday gizmos and gadgets are faster, lighter, smaller, and just plain old better than the older stuff. Me and My family use an 8 year old computer, and it.... is.... so.... slow... and.... it.... takes.... forever.... to.... load.... So instead of putting up with that crappy old thing I go to the library, or use the computers here and im relieved because they are so much faster! So now that technology is better (And yes we are looking for a new computer), it is easier for us to do much more with it, and we do it more efficiently.

I think as time goes on technology will get better, especially in the next five years. Think of it as a rubber ball rolling down a small slope it gradually gets faster, and faster,and faster, and faster. as technology improves now, we will use that technology to make even more technology, and then that improved technology will improve, and make even more technology, Kinda like populating the world, no matter what, we will always have more and more new babies before people die, meaning that we keep populating the world with more and more people. that is the same with technology, it will just keep growing and growing, and getting smarter, and smarter, we will probably end up letting the technology improve on itself!

I use a lot of technology for school, mostly computers. I use the computers for research and completing typed assignments. I use Google, Bing and sometime Yahoo! for my research, and I use Microsoft word (.Docx) for typing, and power point (.ppt)for presentations (SEE, I DO KNOW MY FILE TYPES!).

I use a lot of technology for my own personal use. I have an Xbox 360 video game system (I LOVE MICROSOFT, GO Xbox WHOOOOO!), an MP3 player, our family computer (for e-mail), and the library computers (For online games). I enjoy using my Xbox very much, as I'm sure you realized :) I use it for: playing video games, watching movies, or videos brought to me from Microsoft's Xbox live system, talking to friends, and killing my bored time on the rainy days of the weekends.

I wold like to work for a big video game industry someday, being the creative director, my job would be to think up a game and bring it to the video game lovers around the world. I would use technology for a lot of things: graphic design, storing thoughts, story line production, and communicating with fellow game designers.

I think that using blogger was one of the best tools we used in online experience A, We used blogger to post our assignments, and communicate with our friends. I might be able to use blogger someday for something I should do, and ill know how to use it.

I would never, ever use Delicious again, i was not as happy with delicious as other thing we did. I had a bad experience with it. it was un-organized, and it was sometimes complicated to use, it was not something I enjoyed.

I enjoyed using blabberize, and voki, they were really easy to use, and fun to create. They usually were simple, and strait forward, but they didnt have many customization options.

I didn't enjoy using Chirbit, it was really bad with the text to voice, and it wasnt a good recording experience.

Voki vs. Blabberize

I think that Voki, and Blabberize were both easy to use, but i think that I liked Blabberize better, it has a more comical feel to it, and I like that. Voki is good, but you cant really customize your avatar, there are only a couple of options, if any! Blabberize can take any picture and you can turn it in to a talking disaster, its fun to use.
