A Silicon Valley School That Doesn’t Compute

This school, Waldorf School of the Peninsula, is one of the schools in the country that refuses to use any type of technology in their schooling. All places have different opinions on the technology but these people here, do not let it happen. They have blackboards with chalk, and they learn how to knit. Other schools are finding everything possible on their phones, ipads, laptops, etc. If these kids need to find a vocabulary word they have to go to a bookshelf and find a dictionary. We go on our ipads and type in the word and its there in any way shape or form within seconds.

article showing how people use media for the wrong reasons

I found an article talking about how people feel about the social media. Alot seem like they have to be on there at all times so they dont get left behind. Others like it and it is helping them but it seems like people are getting forced. They also do it to compete with other companies or to make their business grow.

Filter bubbles

On the Internet people have websites, blogs, social networks and everything. But there could be bad things that can happen. Like the filter bubble. What if you put something up that shouldn't be up there? No matter what it will be stuck on there. People are competing with everybody and everything. Somebody might find a better website than yours just because it's right there in front of them.

What did you learn this week? And how will you integrate it into your high school classes and eventually, your college courses

This week in class I learned how to make a blog. Its something I already knew about but had no idea how to work it. But now its helping me with class and having knowledge in the blogs on the internet. The blogs will also help me in all my other classes. Im now realizing I need the blogs so learning it this week helped me a lot.

Colleges can now track social web chatter to help recruit students thanks to targetx crm tool

After reading this article, I think that technology is so different than the way it used to be. Its good to see how this person is whether they are inteligent, smart, outgoing, etc. The bad part about them doing this is, they can find information that you don't even know about. The internet has everything on it. So either way they will find something good or bad. I don't like the fact that they can look into your personal space but there shouldn't be anything on it that they wouldn't like. They get to find out everything about you before you can even tell them. But it just seems like things are going too far with technology now a days.
