Jennifer Scott's Website

I really liked this site. I like the way Jennifer had each link to relate to the steps. The pictures to go along with the steps were nice too. Not only that it's almost that time to go swimming which means SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE. I would have never thought to do a how to website, and I always wondered how they put up those things. I was suprised that it is actually a process. I saw no mistakes. :-)

I Pod

Technologies have come a very long way. It's amazing to see cell used to be the size of walkie talkies,pagers and beepers, and especially computers. I remember as a little girl my dad always had a computer (he worked on them), but I didn't know a lot of people that did. Now it's very uncommon to NOT have a computer. Now we have come to the world of IPODS!!!! Ipod hold a lot of memory and you can see a lot of people on campus who have one.

I think ipods are great. I download all the music and pictures I want. I know some people who have full length movies on theirs. I think it would have great educational purposes. It would be great if the ipod could record a teachers lecture, and information could be sent between each others ipods. I love the audio book feature. So if there is a class reading assignment the whole class can get the book reading done in a good time. Teachers can also benefit from the use use of Ipods too. Below is a link to one that can help teachers.
