Emerging Technology- Mind Meister

For my new emerging technology I used mind meister. Mind meister is an online concept map. According to their website, mind mapping  is a popular planning technique with applications across all business sectors and industries. It is used by all individuals, corporate teams, students and teachers alike for various purposes. I had a lot of fun using mind meister. I created a map about my life and included my favorite books and movies, family, goals, and career. I did the free trial that allows you to make three maps. I would defintely use this in my classroom for my students to share information about themselves or about newly information. A few helpful hints. If you want to add a line right below the main one, hit the main button and hit insert. If you want the line right beside it hit the main idea and hit tab. Also, if you want to add pictures be sure to already have them saved or it might take up some time browsing for your pictures. Other than this Mind Meister was very fun and easy to use!

Emerging Technology- Twitter and Facebook

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to share my facebook and twitter account as part of the emerging technology! I have had a facebook account for a couple of year now and i love it. Facebook is a social network that allows you to post photos and videos, socialize and connect with friends and family, and to be a part of a group and also allows you to post a status and comment on status's. Facebook was very easy to use and became a lot of fun. I started with just a picture of myself and a few close friends, but now I have videos, pitures, and able to share more information about myself with my friends and was able to connect with many of my friends. Twitter is an information network. According to their website, "Twitter is a real-time information network that connects you to the latest information about what you find interesting. Simply find the public streams you find most compelling and follow the conversations." I began my twitter account this year and still learning from it. Just like facebook, I can connect with my friends and post a picture (profile picture) of myself but I'm still learning how to post multiple photos. Twitter is a great way to follow celebrities, which I do follow a few. I have a few followers on Twitter, but I personally get of facebook more! Here are my links!

Blog Experience

Hello! This is my first blog and I'm very excited. Setting up the blog was the fun part! I picked my own cute background and selected a photo and information about myself to share with others! My advise about blogs is to have fun and it is a creative place for your ideas and writing. "Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go." -E.L. Doctorow
