Gizmodo
has become my favorite blog to read. Every day I read something useful. This
week I ran across this link. http://lifehacker.com/10-common-tech-questions-and-their-high-tech-explanati-1411081494/@ericlimer
10 Common Tech Questions and Their High Tech Explanantions.
Basically it is a common tech FAQ and troubleshoot page for
devices we used daily. I learned that battery life in iPhones, Android phones
or laptops is to not use the device while plugged in at 100 percent charge.
This causes a spike in energy used by the phone since it toggles between
charging and using. I guess the best way I would describe it is like constantly
flicking light switch on and off. This causes the devices to work harder than
it needs to. One huge surprise was
finding out that there are problems with using public wi-fi. I did not know
that people may have access to view what you’re doing. Passwords and personal
information may be stolen. A link to a safety guide is given to protect you
from possible wrong doing.
We have
covered the importance of blogging in the classroom. On the Edutopia blog, they
posted How (And Why) Teachers Should Blog. They have great reasons why blogs
belong in the classroom. It was great seeing some of the things I have learned
in this course listed on this blog. This blog sites how teachers may harness
learning enhancement by being able to manage student activities, increase reading
and writing skills, and as a platform for feedback. Creating assignments over
blogs will encourage students to collaborate. This allows appreciation of peer
reviews and opinions. Blogs opens up the
line of communication beyond the classroom. This site also goes on to give importance
and reasons why even social media may be used in the classroom. Using the web as a tool has again been
reinforced as importance in teaching.
