Advice

For future students-

My advice to you is to keep up with your homework. It's hard to remember when your priorities are with harder classes. It doesn't take long and if you will do it then you will have no problem with the class. The tests and quizzes are fairly easy, especially the skills tests. Just be patient in the class, because sometimes you know everything that you are going over. Before tests just review the previous lessons and notes. There are usually links and help on the wiki page. That's all!

My View on Web 2.0

I think that the Time Person of the Year article has a good point. There are so many people communicating and creating and searching on the Internet. Being able to find so much information on people around the world and any activity you can imagine is amazing. I can look up a beat boxing flute player on Youtube and actually find people who can actually accomplish a random idea like that who actually want to share it with everyone. I can go on Facebook or Myspace and talk to someone from any other country in the world any time I want. The amount things you could find are mind boggling! Sometimes it might seem a little scary because you are sharing so much personal information, but a lot of what you do can teach so many people new skills and ideas. Web 2.0 affects our society so much today and it will just get bigger and bigger.

The article I read about Web 2.0 was What to Know about Web 2.0. It talks about how effective it would be for schools and businesses to use sites that use networking to connect people and ideas. Using these resources makes information posted available in ways that email could never do. Sites like Wikipedia give everyone the opportunity to post information, edit it, and enrich it for user who need to know certain skills for a job or school project. All of these sites can help companies and people grow and learn in ways that cannot be fathomed. To ignore these opportunities would just be stupid.

In the future I'm sure that there will be many many more people using Web 2.0 to teach and communicate and share with the people that they work with and live with and correspond with everyday. No matter what you want to know, there will be somewhere to find it or someone reliable to ask. there is no determining what e=we can accomplish in life if everyone is constantly changing information and giving new information for everyone to access. It's going to be phenomenal.

Microsoft Word Experience

My experience in Word is mainly from writing papers for class in MLA format. I have done some formal letters, but it's been a while and I'm not sure if I can remember how.

I probably need to learn formatting the most, becasue I don't really know too much about it.

Jordan Wallace CS 1300 Introduction

Hello, I'm Jordan. I am most recently from Mineral Wells, TX, but I've lived in many small towns around DFW.

In my free time I read books, mostly fiction or sci-fi, hang out with friends, eat ethnic foods, go to concerts and art shows, swim in rivers and the ocean, and I like to try new things, so I'm pretty much up for anything. I have 5 siblings, four from my mom and 1 from my dad. I am a cat lover and, oddly enough, my entire life I've only owned either black cats or white cats, no other colors.

I have some computer skills from a few high school computer classes, but most of my experience from those classes is in Photoshop. I get on the internet a lot so I don't have much trouble with that. I use email a lot to keep in touch with my friends and family.

I guess that a way to remember me in this class is the blond with the nose ring who like cats a lot.
