Chapter 2 & 3 of Blogs, Wikis and Podcasts

            In read chapter 2 of “Blogs,Wikis, Podcast, and other Powerful Web Tools for the classrooms” by Will Richardson he state that everyone is not a blogger and that two-third of people that have a blog will go for more than two month without posting anything on their blog and I do agree with him because I would probably be one of those two-thirds. But I do believe that setting up a blog page for the classroom is a go ideal because it can give the student a chance to voice their opinion on different subject, and it can create a learning environment outside of the classroom.

            I wish that I would have read Chapter 3 before I set up my blog because I have learn a lot about blog and in the chapter it even show picture of how it should look. It walk a person through setting up a blog. In this chapter it discussed that   when you start your blog for the first time to start small. It also stated that Weblogs can be a learning experience not only for the teacher but also for the student. After read this chapter I feel a little more comfortable about post item on my blog.

Satellite

In the article “Teachers participate in the workshop at Harwell” it talks about the workshop that focused on how satellite can be us in the classroom. The teachers that attend receive hand on experience in the workshop. One experiment used an infrared thermometer to measure the ocean temperature from orbit. The teachers learn that with the use of satellite navigation device they can be able to tell how a person has waited for a bus. And that satellite can help to improve the safety of the land, air transportation and can also help to protect the environment. Emmanuel Ramos, Senior Advisor for the Directorate of Telecommunications & Integrated Applications, state that “Space is a most exciting topic and that by using space when teaching can help convince young people to pursue their studies in science and engineering, preparing the next generation of skilled labour for our society”. Because of this workshop on satellite it will help the teacher to be able to prepare their student for the future.

Many people are using creative commons now instead of copyrights because with creative commons you have flexibility on who can use your work and what that can also use. Unlike copyright that last 70 years after a person death, Creative Common license work around the world and last as long as copyrighting. Creative commons also protect the person that is using another person work as long as we abide by the rule and regulations that the person has specified such as all right reserved by the owner. Creative commons is easy to use.

World Wide Web

In Chapter 1 of "Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms" by Will Richard, I really learn a lot about the history of the internet. I never knew who started the World Wide Web and when it was started. I do remember that when I started college in the 80’s we work on Apple computer. Those computers were big and they were in a room where the temperature was control at a cool setting. We had to use the library to do any kind of research that need to be done.  Now since the World Wide Web people are able to do their research in the privacy of their home.
