The Grammys

I do not follow the Grammys at all but I certainly have a favorite song and movie.
My favorite movie this year would have to be Star Trek. I think it deserves Best Picture. They should also give Best Actor to Zachary Quinto (who played Spock in the movie). Quinto played a very convincing role and that award would be well deserved. This movie also deserves the Best Picture award. The sound and visual effects in the movie were also very good and convincing.

The plot also flowed smoothly and good jokes were also included.
My favorite song would certainly be "You Found Me" by The Fray. The song is very touching and the vocals are great. The lyrics also reflect the music well. I love the genre of light rock music that The Fray plays so very well.

Web 2.0

Here are three Web 2.0 tools that I found:
These are to be used with Firefox

Forecastfox 0.9.10.1-- tells the weather, had radar screen, this program even has international weather

Show Anchors 2.-- this application anchors a website or article and makes it easy to email that website or article to another person.

Groowe Search Toolbar 1.6.5-- Helps a person use more than one search engine at a time. Easy to use. sites include Google , Yahoo, Amazon, EBay, Ask, , Facebook, Wikipedia, and others.

The Website I got this information is: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=&cat=1%2C22&advancedsearch=1&as=1&appid=1&lver=3.5&atype=0&pp=20&pid=3&sort=&lup=

Overall Impressions

My overall impression for this class have been very positive. I enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. I like that there are several people that I know that take it with me. I talk to them quite a bit before class begins. Of course, I don't iChat anyone during this class. We are all learning technology together and it is very interesting.This has been a very educating class. I like learning how to work Macs since I do not know how to work them very well. I have learned more about Macs in these two weeks then over the last sixteen years. I look forward to this class each and every day.

Laptop Computers

I am looking forward to the computers next year. I look forward to being able to check the internet anytime I want. I do not think that there will be too many differences in the classes that I am taking this year compared to next year. It doesn't seem like their teaching strategy would change that much over one year. I think that most of the Junior and Seniors teachers will not make their classes awkward for the people that do not have laptops. I think that some students will use this as an opportunity to not do their schoolwork and fool around. Others,however, will see this as an opportunity to explore their world around them and maybe get more work done then they could do without the laptops.
