Techo Tool Evaluation

Desmos (first tool)

https://www.desmos.com


This website is an advanced graphing calculator that basically lets you draw on graphs by making the lines with mathematica equations.

I liked:

- It is extremely advanced and user friendly
- Is open to everyone and has no need to download or pay anything
- you can draw or work on ti with lines or mathematical tools and equations

I didn't like:

It is way too complicated to use
You have to create one equation for every single line
You have to use math

I would use it:

To draw when if i would ever have A LOT of free time and was bored with my life.
To do graphs virtually for a math project


Easybib (second tool)

http://www.easybib.com

I like:

It is easy to use
Free to all
It makes finding bibliographies a lot easier

I dont like:

it is a gloomy website
you have to know the exact quote for the page to work
it is full of advertisement


When I would use it:

to find the source of quotes from people
to find bibliographies of my research if i already closed the original page

Linux

Before my research, I know that Linux is a computer operating system, Nothing more.

I want to learn:

What makes Linux special/different?
Who uses Linux?
On what does Linux specialize?
What is it preferable for?
Who invented it?

Linux HomePage

Linux Application Center

(wikipedia)

- It was released on October 5th,1991 with the idea of launching a free and fast computer system that operated on intel x86 personal computers at first only

- it was invented by Linus Torvalds
- Linux has been recognized around the world as the fastest operating system in the present.
- It has been ported to many much more platforms for operation in the last ten years. For example, android runs on a linux base called linux kernel
- It is the leading operating system in the world for proxy servers, big iron systems, supercomputers and mainframe computers.
- Fun fact: the 10 fastest computers in the world run on Linux
- Linux is completely free and can be downloaded straight from the web!



Linux relates to me because I have always wanted to try it. Several of my friends have seen and experiences linux in action and I would want that opportunity to test it and have the worlds best computer operating system under my command,


Why make such a goldmine free? Who and why had the idea to make something so great specially with the mentality of making it free of charge?

Google Day 4

Goals:

1. work on the mine craft world for presentation

The YouTube test feature is an add on to your videos that has questions about the video, which you can answer as you watch in a quiz format.

To be able to use this amazing feature, first go to this link to become a member of the question feature community, its completely free of charge. As soon as you are part of the Beta, open up your YouTube channel. Being logged in, from your channel select one of the videos that you've uploaded. When the video starts, there should be a bar above it with several options. Click on edit. When you do, a new bar should appear above. On the far right, the last tab says "questions". Click on that. As soon as you do, the video appears again, with a tab on the right that should read "new question". Click that as many times as questions you want. Enjoy.

awesome example

This awesome feature is good for students because they can use it for:

- Creating a video on a study guide and reviewing with the questions
- Teachers testing if students pay attention to assigned videos
- Personal learning by reviewing what was learned

Digital Nation

I agree and disagree with the video. Yes, we are very dependent on technology now a days but we are not necessarily addicted. Phones and social network in the internet is extremely addictive to people all around the world, but you choose if you avoid or embrace the addiction. For this reason, I think the decision is yours to be dependent or not in technology.

People that are addicted, i think should receive help to get them a little away and get them to depend less on technology. NOT necessarily an intervention or rehab, but maybe introducing them to the real world, to play with a ball and go outside to simply feel the fresh air hit their face.
