Technology vs Education with Change!
This blog deals with how technology is going to change with education in the next 15 years? I believe that the educational system with be most dealing with computers. The students will be able to access a lot of things from a home computer or school compter. Some great examples of this is, the idea of using a pad to download books to read and have access to it at the tip of your fingers. This mean that libraries around the world probably want have to deal with paper back books in a large range of varities anymore. I also believe that a cell phone will be more highly develop and use inside of classrooms for use then they are now. Who knows, we might even have school from computers at home where students want even have to meet in a classroom altogether anymore. Lets think about this, a school that has robots and not even real teachers and floating school buses in the air. In 15 years, there is so much that can change from the way that the present is now, change is being brought at this very moment!

Reflection on Day 2!
This was a very interesting day today. I was part of Group C, which was face with an obstacle on today. Our Movie Making Project was facing an upload issue which cause us to lose 30 Minutes working on the project. The best thing about it was that me and my group members was able to find a solution to the problem but was only able to upload 48 seconds. Throughout all this, I would have to say that this was my favorite project of the day. It really taught me something new and a way that I could express my creativity. The PowerPoint was a neat feature that I was very familiar with from my high school years. It was also a chance for me to learn some new features from other members in my group. I am very excited about my intern training and truly ready to start sharing my knowledge with my local school system.

Reflection on Today!
We really learn a lots about certain features that where new to me today. I learn to use the program website call Blogger. It is a really cool site to interact with other members on the TeachUp! team. I was able to create a Gmail account which offered a lot of cool features. This email account provided me with access to a calender, instant message, cool gadgets, and the document program that lets you create spreadsheets, powerpoints, and some similar to Word, and etc. The last thing we discussed in class was the podcast. This was a neat feature that let you use audio to also communicate with individuals using technology. I am really looking forward to learning more new ideas and programs later on this week. I feel these are some helpful tips to help me become very successful in my internship and some skills that can become very useful later on in my life.
