S k y T o o H i g h---ep.14--Muti-Tasking While Muti-Tasking.

I think this shouldn't be a very big concern at Campus High. For one, there isn't really anything that would put a student in great danger at this school if they just so happened to run into something. Most that would happen is they would probably be late for class.

S k y T o o H i g h---ep.14--Big 6.

S k y T o o H i g h---ep.13--Learning.? Make That To Go.

Dear Administration Of East Orange School District,  

I think that mobile learning is the next step in learning. If we could learn while we are on the go I think we could actually learn more. If people would use all the idle time they had in a day to learn, they would be way more intelligent then they are now. I would recommend mobile learning for the simple fact that people bring their cell phones to school anyway. Making them learning tools would only be better in the student's case.

S k y T o o H i g h---ep.12--The Perfect Tool.?

If I could use any computing device for learning in school it would be an device made by my own hands. It would be enable me to do anything, know everything, and store the knowledge within my brain. It would be an small hand held device that fits in the palm of my hand and is absorbed by my genetic code only. It would create this device to help find solutions to every problem thought to exist.

S k y T o o H i g h---ep.11--Tag This.

Bookmarking, the useful tool that allows us to store the page of recently visited web sites. In class we use "tags' , a more up to date and easier program that allows us to bookmark pages. We use it to remember sites that we may think are useful to us so we can visit them later. These "tags" are useful when also looking up info for research.  

S k y T o o H i g h---ep.10--The truth Or a Thought.

Fact and opinion are ideas often blurred through the thin line that separates them. An easy way to tell if something is more fact than opinion is to ask yourself, "Was this source given by a reliable industrial corporation." By checking to see if the source was given by a reliable company, you reassure your info and yourself. 

S k y T o o H i g h---ep.9--Credit Where Its Due.

In today's time you can find almost anything on the internet. From great works of litterateur, all the way to sites containing irrelevant topics such as, flying cats and thins of the such. With that said, I think its harder to find information because not everything is true. One way you can narrow something down to find info is by using the certain search factors of Google. Like for example, Google-books is a great way to find the info you may want on almost all litterateur. 

S k y T o o H i g h---ep.8--Publishing.

Publishing is the act of showing off an work, usually literary, to gain publicity. When I publish things that's what I usually intend to do. I think I'm publishing this project online so that it can be seen by alot of people. Just the thought of knowing someone can be looking at your work makes it relevant enough to me.  

S k y T o o H i g h---ep.7--The Task.

When faced with a project or anything of the sort, I think that it would be best to "i.d" the task at hand. When you know what it is your doing, and what you what to do it makes things easier on your part.
