Third Emerging Technology

The third emerging technology I used was photobucket.com. This piece of technology is a type of photo album online. You can upload photos onto the website and edit them. It is a way to store photos. It's useful because if your computer crashes and you lose all your photos on your computer, you have a place where they are uploaded and you can always get to them. Its very simple to use. You first have to sign up, but it is free (unless you want more memory on your account or you just want to upgrade). After you sign up it takes you to a screen to upload photos. I learned to use this program by simple trial and error. Once you upload the photos you can pick an album to put them in, or you can make a new one. It is very user friendly. It is easy to understand because everything is layed out for you and it tells you exactly what to do and when to do it. Tips I have is to have fun and upload photos you would love to share with everyone! It is very simple to use so there are not many suggestions or tips to give but have fun!

Emerging Technology

The technology I explored for my second emerging technology was livingmemory. Livingmemory is a tool that lets you put together albums of photographs that you have taken. It allows you to share your life experiences and is a way to document major events in that have happened to you in your life. The site is very simple to use. You first put a title to the album you are creating. You can choose who can see the album as well. Then you selecct the photos you want to upload into the album. Once you have uploaded all the photos you want to put in the album, you then can create a slideshow. There really isn't many tips to give, the website is pretty simple to figure out!! You could use this for a way to put some field trip photos together for the students. You could also use this to help if you have pictures of something you are trying to explain. For example, you can use it as a step by step album to show how to do soemthing. I created an album names emerging technologies on livingmemory.com. To view it you can search me under Beth Brummitt.

RSS

I believe this is a feed I will continue to check. It makes it easier to just click on time rather than have to type in the address or search the address again. I found that alot of the sites that I used were news sites because I like to keep up with what is going on. I found a lot of the information valuable because it keeps me posted on everything and I feel like I'm some what connected with the rest of the country and world. I was not sure what to expect when I started this assignment. I thought that it would be more like a bookmark I guess. It is sort of like a bookmark, but it also keeps me updated without having to go to the actually website which is very nice!

Delicious site!

My Podcast

The technology I experienced was podcasting. Podcasting is a media file that is kind of like a radio broadcast. Podcasting is useful because it has many options in how you can use it. You can use it to inform children who missed class on what they missed. You can also help parents keep informed about what happened in class and things their children might not have told them. Another way it is useful is because alot of parents try to help their children with their homework but sometimes are not sure how you are doing the problems, so you can inform them on how you are working the problems so they can help their children. I learned to use podcasting by the program Audacity. It is user friendly, but I could not figure out how to put music in the background. It is easy to learn how to record using the program. I believe everyone could benefit from using this program because it is very user friendly and is not to difficult to use. I suggest if this is the first time using this program to try to find some powerpoints to help with the use of this. These powerpoints helped me very much.
