BRAIN WRECK... NOT REALLY

To start with we read an article on Facebook and MySpace harming our minds (http://www.news.com.au/technology/story/0,28348,25100716-5014239,00.html).
Does it really, well that is the question.I don't think so, if it was my sister must have gone mad and would be in a mental hospital by now. It doesn't effect that much but sure, it does a tiny bit. But not in the way the doctors say that it affects our attention span, instead people get obsessed if that is connected in any way. Age is a big problem too. Children under 10 or 11 shouldn't join things like these, it only harms their brains, which is not good for young children cause their brains are only developing!!!

Mommy, I.T's over...


As they say time flies like a dove it sure did for me. I.T this Trimester was very interesting. The things I know now and the things I knew about Technology before this class can easily be compared. I did not know something like xtranormal (www.xtranormal.com/ ) even existed. I learned more about iMovie and by that surely was some help in my other classes. We were introduced to something called Elf Yourself. Another good thing was we got to interact with students from Illinois, we did a Wiki with them about the future (www1.iskl.edu.my/wiki). It was a great experience and the only thing I am worried about is the Internet connection, one class period we had to wait the whole time, some people didn't even get a chance to work. If you have a good internet connection watch these videos from Youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2yv8aT0UFc - the dark knight spoof. Well, these are my favorite videos so far on Youtube. Overall I.T was always a period I looked forward to, even though it is over I will always remember it and use the advice Mrs. Narsiman gave us during our Trimester of classes.
