Post #9

A web based resources I have found to be very helpful is www.Askjeeve.com . I remember using this site in middle school but I didnt know just how useful it was. Not only can you ask any question and it will give you multiple websites with useful information, you can also get images of what you are searching for as well. It is similar to google but not as much junk shows up.
I decided to ask Where is Florida? Not only did I get information on Florida, I got a map of the U.S. as well as just Florida. You can also get Images of cities as well as city maps and listing of places like restaurants and entertainment venues.
Next I want to learn how to use a Mac computer as well as the different software that goes along with it. Lots of my friends have Mac's and the are very different from what I am used to, but they are growing rapidly in popualrity and I think it would be useful to know how to use one.
I might acheive my future educational technology goals by working together with friends to learn new software and program. I know I could teach my friends things about Power Point and Excel and I'm sure they could reciprocate and teach some things as well.
