Nikita's Website

I enjjoyed looking at Nikita's website and learning more about her life. Her websitee did not have any red warnings in Firefox, but did have a couple of buttons that did not work. Overall it was a success.nikita's website

Her website was outstanding. I did not find any errors with it and it was very interesting. I enjoyed looking at her favorite movies and i liked most of them. It was a success.

Website

If I had more time to work on my website I would like to put up the animation on my first page and also some animation on my website. I would also like to change up my colr schemes a bit, and add some more infromation on each golfer. Anyway, my website is fully operational. All the buttons work, there are no warning tags, and everything is just gravy. Want to check it out.http://http://www.johnstrange.com/edm310tt11spring07/Andrews/

Professor Seymour Papert

Professor Seymour Papert is a man of great vision. He had great vision in the sixties when it came to technology, especially computers. He was the first to see that children could use the computer for learning purposes. He is also a man of aciton. Many firsts took place in his labratory at MIT. In his lab the children used the computer to make graphics for the first time. From this the Logo programming language was created, and from this the Logo Foundation was created. The Foundation produces software that helps people to understand how to use the Logo programmin language and software related to the language.

Now Professor Papert lives in Maine where he has opened his own labratory called the Learning Barn where technology beyond its time is being used and implemented. He also is a distinguished Professor at the University of Maine. He also serves on advisory boards for MaMaMedia and Lego Mindstorms. It is safe to say that Professor Seymour Papert is a man of great vision and action.http://www.papert.org/

ipod, wha whamp wha whamp

IPODs can be a very instructive tool for classrooms. They are capable of massive storage of memory for on the go people. They are very easy to operate and also come in lots of different fun and neat styles. The new function on the iPOD for education is the iLife function. It is designed for learning in the classroom. It allows you to store and access all kinds of information including speeches, artwork, interviews, movies, etc.

iPODs have also decreased in price since they first came out so they are becoming a more affordable and accessible tool for everyone. It is also much easier to engage in one on one instruction with an iPOD. They allow teachers to do their jobs much more effectively by giving a more accurate interpretation of each students abilities and learning speeds. iPODs are great.click here
