e-porfolio

After having done my portfolio, and having seen others, I realize that throughout the semester we did a lot of works and each of them are going to be useful for our carrer because today I saw that they were already useful.

Past and Future

When I had my first cellphone, I thought that one day I would play the games that I played on my computer. When I first thought about that I had no Internet connection in my house so couldn't even dream about going online and surfing web using cellphone. Today I try to dream about future and I really can't imagine what else can cellphone do...

They are like television

First there was nothing then newspapers appeard then radio then TV and now there is Internet that behaves like newspaper, radio TV and much more so how on earth we can assume that we do not need computers for our teaching career.

Finally

Today, I heard the las assignment for this course. How interesting!!! At the beginning it was like it is never gong to end and now it is over except eportfolio. This course was very helpful for my whole computer experience. Not only just for my major but also for my daily life and other courses.

My Feelings Are Stable

Although I realized that computers can be much more useful than I used to think, I still think that the teachers and educators should be very careful about computers and technology. In my first blogs I was questioning the use of computers. I still do but now I realize that there are really big benefits of computers while there are strong disadvantages. What I believe is, It is all teachers who make technology advantage or disadvantage.

Creating Web Page

I found out that creating a web page make students enjoy the lesson more than other activities because now, everybody is doing facebook, myspace, blogger... so creating web page is not just related to class but it is a daily activitiy. Because of that web pages take a lot of attenrtion. 

Computers and Global Warming

A screen saver is not an energy saver. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 75% of all the electricity consumed in the home is standby power used to keep electronics running when those TVs, DVRs, computers, monitors and stereos are "off." The average desktop computer, not including the monitor, consumes from 60 to 250 watts a day. Compared with a machine left on 24/7, a computer that is in use four hours a day and turned off the rest of the time would save you about $70 a year. The carbon impact would be even greater. Shutting it off would reduce the machine's CO2 emissions 83%, to just 63 kg a year.
