Technology Power Point

 I have learned from the power point unit that a power point can make or break your presesntation. It can make your presentation that more interesting or even more dull. On the first page it is imperative that you state your name and the subject of your power pooint and to also make the title screen appealing. I learned that there are more features given to you that you can see upfront. You can choose from various templates to add to your power point. You can also highlight different text boxes to give it a better look. Also you can add different shapes to your power point to put text in. You can add different shapes to show direction and to help guide others through the presentation. You can change the color of the text to make words seem more alive. Lastly, you can change the theme of your powerpoint to make it seem fancier.

My Experience Using A Blog

When I first started creating my blog, I was a little confused at first, but I got the hang of it. It's a good way to communicate and express your ideas. It's also a good way of teaching. It's better because of just sitting in a classroom writing on a peice of paper, you're using technology and students find it more entertaining. When writing a blog you have access to different websites for different information to help you with the topic of the blog. It's also very convenient for students because the teacher can give quick feed back. Also, I like blogging because typing is much faster than writing and your hand doesn't get tired. Also, it's interesting to see what others think about a certain topic or idea. It's a good way to see what's going on outside of your interests. Overall, I have discovered that blogging is a new found hobby of mine.

What I learned from the Good and Bad articles (Post 3)

 To have a good blog your back ground must not interrupt the text. Make sure that the text is a good font to be readable but not too big. Your blog must be easy to navigate through. Links must not be the same color as the background. Bad blogds have very small text. They have their paragraphs typed in all caps. They also have bad grammar. They have underlined text that is not a link. Lastly they have something that blinks.

Blog Post #2, Wind Turbine

 What I learned from the wind turbine is that there are many alternative energies than just natural gas, coal, and oil etc. The wind turbine uses wind to create kinetic energy and turns it into mechanical energy. The kinetic energy then goes to the generator to create electicity. Also, the wind turbine helps take away from pollution in the air by creating natural energy and not harming the environment. It compares to the technology sector because it helps produce items in manufacturing by providing the electricity. Wind turbines can be used to create large amount of energy. They don't really produce a lot when it's not a windy day though. You see wind turbines mostly in states like Texas, Iowa, and California. The wind turbine has many economical benefits. It's cheap and produces harm free energy.

What I learned about blogging.

I learned that blogging is a way to express yourself. I also learned that it can be used to spread information on a variety of topics. It can spread news, gossip, and new ideas. You can share where you've been and places that you want to go. You can also voice your opinion on your blog. You can put what you want and people will see it. You can influence different people and gain knowledge on your own. When you blog, people can give you feedback on your blog. It's a good way to learn what other people think about a common subject that you all share. Lastly, blogging is fun and can pass time.
