Technology in the Classroom

I have used wikipedia and youtube to assist me in my learning for school. I think technology in the classroom is a good thing, but because a lot of it is new, it takes a while to get used to learning that way. However when using technology it does seem we are able to get information faster.

Youtube Video

I found this video on Youtube and it's a man from the U.K., Dr. Steve Bone who is a professor at the school of electronics and computer science at Bangor University. It's about a five minute video and he's basically discussing how important it is for people in high powered positions these days to know about technology and how it can benefit the work they do. I am a management major so he is discussing how technology will most likely affect me in my future work. Here's the video:

Favorite Blog/Website

One of my favorite blogs is http://thepioneerwoman.com/ it's written by a woman named Ree Drummond. She basically blogs her favorite recipes and about her life and in my opinion she is a very comical writer. Since I like to cook and bake I enjoy reading her recipes and I like reading about her life because she lives on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma which I feel is so different from my life. Basically I just like the point of her story. When she was younger she lived in Los Angeles and planned to move to Chicago to become a lawyer. However she met a cowboy and the rest is history. I like that her story basically teaches us that we can plan our lives as much as we want but what is meant to happen will happen.

All About Allyson

I am a twenty-one year old junior at Salisbury University majoring in management. I have lived in Salisbury my entire life. I went to Wor-Wic Community College for my associates degree and this is my first semester at SU. I work part-time for a retina specialist as an ophthalmic tech. I enjoy spending my free time with friends and family. With this class I hope to learn more about internet and computers than the basic knowledge I currently have and how they fit into the business world.
