Mobile broadband is a very important meta-trend. It has helped people all around the world to do many different things. For example, it has helped people communicate with each other in ways people in the past have never thought was possible. Also, it was helped in many businesses by using (for example) videoconferences to connect people from different areas of the world, instead of them having to travel for that one conferen… Continue

I finally finished my second Video since my first video I could not upload it because it is in my laptop which needs a new hard drive. The most things I learned is to always have backup. At the beginning of this project, I was scared to fail this because I never ever was in touch with people from around the world in a project. This was my first time and I really enjoyed it.
We were put into groups. In total, there were thirteen groups. The group that I was in is Collaboration Webs and I had to f… Continue

After finishing our Design Technology (DT) units for Term 1 and half of Term 2, we joined the IT class, with Mrs. Lindsay. For last year’s IT subject, we learned things that are related to graphics and web designing such as the use of Adobe and Macromedia. As for this year in Grade 10, we were to make video clips on the impacts of technology on humans. At the same time, we were divided into groups, not just between us, but as well as students from around the world, like the U.S., Australia, Japa… Continue

I believe that communicating and using the network is absolut… Continue

We were all put into groups, in total there were thirteen groups. I was out in the group “Grassroots video” and I had to focus on its “Impact on Education.”
At first I d… Continue

Learning about Collective Sharing and Generation of Knowledge was very interesting for me. It was a topic I have never came across, amongst all the others, and was curious on gaining more information about it. What was even more interesting was that I discovered and learned about these topics a long with the help of an incredible team member. How relevant? Collective Sharing and Generation of Knowledge is all about COLLABORATIVE work; you collect your knowledge and then you share it! Now this wa… Continue
