3 Things I learned

Three new uses for technology that I learned from the powerpoint presentations we created today in class.

1) Vidoeconferencing - I liked the videoconferencing to use in a classroom to talk with someone who might not be able to come to the classroom. I think this is useful to interface with someone who might have a busy schedule or be in a remote location. For example maybe I might want to videoconference in my classroom with someone like Hillary Clinton.

2)Ecobeacker - Where you can follow populations of animals and learn a lot about ecology following real populations

3) Lab simulations - Where students can learn and perform labs without especially dissections without having to perform the actual lab but a virtual version of it. There are a lot of students who had to dissect animal. I happen to be one. I hated the smell of the formaldehyde and felt the dead animal didn't really help me learn anything about their anatomy because the species was so shrivelled.
