Net-Book Reflection

Having a netbook that connects to the internet is very handy. Why? Because whenever I'm stuck on something or whenever I want to learn about something I can just search it up and read into it. For example when I'm stuck on my maths or want to learn better strategies to figure my answers out I just search up math strategies and a whole lot of tutorial videos come up.

By using the internet I'm now able to learn how to get better at making movies and using green screen a lot more. I'm now able to use green screen a lot better than before because I'm able to search it up.

Something special that Ms.Tito has taught me this year was to always be "PURPLE COW", to stand out from the rest. By being purple cow I'm able to make much more cooler things on my netbook.

One time we were given the task to create and MTV. I had no idea on how to film properly with and Ipad. But by using my initiative I played around with it and now I've got a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to ipads.

Throughout the whole year my friends have taught me how to use scratch. It's a online game making program where you can make your own games and publish them to the web where everyone can play them. It might become handy for me one day, who knows I might be a game maker.

Helping my classmates online is what I do best. I mostly help kids with writing their own comments and making sure that they check/proofread before they publish. In return I get help on writing better scripts for my pod casts on KPE.

With my netbook I'm able to manage myself a lot more, because I no longer have to wait around for the teacher to tell me to get on with it. I now can just hop on my netbook and check our Team 5 google site and see what my literacy group is doing for the day.

Using net books this year makes learning much more easier and faster for a lot of us. There can be problems at times such as the internet, but it doesn't really matter because our school supplies netbook technicians or we either just search how to fix it on the internet. Using netbooks can also help make you realize the mistakes in your writing, reading, and maths.
