New Account

Today in class we set up a new account for another online presentation tool called Prezi. The idea is to get out of the past and use the new availible tools to create presentations. Prezi is a presentation tool that uses a map type layout and zooming to navigate through the presentation, and you moves from each point to the next. You can rotate you text, make it bigger, and move it to where you desire. Also you can insert pics and many other things.

Homework Metacognitive activity

My answer for the glass half full problem is that there will be more lime in the cola. I came to this answer from a mathmatical stand point. When you put the lemon lime in the cola its 100% lemon lime. Then when you trasfer the same amout back to the lemon lime it not 100% cola its diluted with lemon lime, so therefore theres more lemon lime in the cola glass.

Storage Issues

Hardrive You can save an electronic document on the hardrive of your computer, which is good if you are constantly using that computer, but its not so good if your using different computers because you won't be able to tranfer the information over.

Network Also you can save an electronic document to a network drive, which is good because its always backed up and you can't lose it. The downfall is that you can't get the document if your not connected to the network.

Flash Drive Another place you can save an electronic document is on a flash drive. A good think about using a flash drive is you can take it from one place to another and you don't need internet access. Also they are very cheap and almost anyone can afford them. The down fall is you could forget it, or possibly lose it.

Google Docs One of the best places you can save an electronic document is in your google documents, because its on the internet, and as long as you have access to the internet you can get that file. The only downfall is if you don't have internet to can't retrieve the document.

Publishing Documents

Today in class we made our own website. It started out in MS word, to google documents, to the web. I came to find out that its a very simple procedure that anybody can do.
