Online class article A

The article I chose was one about a study of 66 female college students and online classes. It says how classes online and internet discussions the students can share their own understandings of what is going on in the class with the others. This makes learning broader and easier to do in big groups. They can use chats and discussion boards to communicate ideas and information with one another. Also because when you write in a discussion board you are able to look back on what you wrote and the responses and analyze your report.
This article is interesting to read and gives off the idea that online classes would be beneficial to the high school and college kids but not to the younger elementary kids. The classes can be more effective on line since they can write their own responses and see them. It’s a good article to the questions about why online classes and how they can be beneficial to the students. It shows some good pros to the technological use of the online class.

The microphone project horror (b)

The microphone activity this week was very tiresome. We had to take a microphone and record our voice reading a book, poem, and storyboard and then burn them onto different Cd’s. I went to target and they were out of the microphone so I decided I would go to staples. Staples had the microphone for eight dollars so I bought it. I then had to go to my boyfriend’s house to use the internet to download the Audicty user so I could use the microphone.
Once I did that I thought I was in the clear. But that was not so. My Microphone wouldn’t work on my computer. Why I don’t know. But finally after a half of an hour being frustrated and yelling and screaming at my computer my boyfriend said that I should try restarting my computer with the microphone already plugged in. Well of course I was frustrated and said no that wont work leave me alone ill figure it out. I finally said fine ill try restarting it since nothing else was working. And what happened you may ask… it worked. I spent a good 45 min trying to get it to work and all I had to do was plug it in before I turned my computer on.
This taught me that maybe I should read directions to how things work instead of just assuming I know. The assignment was pretty cool in the fact that recording yourself talking and then listening to it was really interesting. I over came these problems by listening to other peoples advice and by calming down.
