The World Wide Web
The World Wide Web gives students and teacher the opportunity to interact in various activities, which not only enriches the student’s education but their technological skills as well. The way in which students turn in their assignments really helps the teacher on marinating assignments in order and it also avoids the confusion of an assignment being turned in or not. This article mentioned about the pros and cons as far as using the World Wide Web as part of the class. I think that the more we prepare ourselves the least problems we will have to deal with later on.

Data Base Bells and Whistles
Data Base in classrooms could be extremely beneficial because it is another way in which a student can understand the subject matter. In this article it talked about using database in classrooms to increase their critical thinking skills. I think this is great because not only are the students searching information on a database but they are also analyzing what they are reading.


I really enjoyed using databasein class. I thought it was a different way to put all your information together and keep it well organized. When I first began working with it I had the impression that it would be very similar to the assignment we did in excel. And I felt like I was very familiar with it. Unfortunately that was not the case. Even thought the ideas was pretty similar to the excel assignment, due to the graphs we could easily do, I felt like there was a close relation with inspiration. I enjoy using database because you can automatically see what your results are going to look like. And if you don’t like what something looks like you can make changes very easily. I think that in education database will be very efficient. There are so many ways in which you can organize your work and by simply making a few changes in the correct areas your results change on their own. I think it was great we were introduced to database. When we were comparing the students hours of sleep with grades I kept thinking about presentations where data has to be visual. What I really liked about this was that when doing a presentation you can fix your fields to equal any desired result you want your audience to see, and you can make comparisons so that when you click on them everyone can see the drastic change you are referring to. It’s a very visual guide that could help students understand the comparisons you are focusing on for example population, or any given topic, within a certain time frame.
