High School Teacher Creates New Educational App

While I was reading articles this morning, I came across an awesome article about a man named Kevin Giffhorn. He started a new educational app, eNotebook, for everyone to use. This app allows people to do many things including: take notes, PDF files, powerpoint files, and more. Seeing how well he could make this app made me think about how hard it must have been. Upon research, I found that it is actually very easy to make an app. Now, I think I will have time to make a few of my own apps so expect a few fashion and photography apps soon!

The Advantages of Technology in the Classroom

I just read an article about technology in the classroom. As I was reading, I found five different bullets I found extremely helpful:

• Editing your works
• Provide supplementary information
• Communicating
• Motivation
• Access to information

  The bullet that has helped me the most would be the "Accessing Information" bullet. Throughout my high school career I have done so much research and so many papers that I didn't personally have the information for. I had to use outside resources and, most of the time, I had to use technology. Without technology, it wold have been extensively hard to write these papers only sing books that you have to search the whole way through for maybe just a sentence or two.
  Another advantage of technology is that the children you are teaching are growing up in the technology era, they are able to relate and do better using what they are used to.
