Information Media -260

Technology has developed so fast that the software that i used last year has been changed to new one and the whole university is updating to windows7.So it was really important to learn how to be updated, so i took this class and it was really informative abd useful for me in the future educational purposes.Everything i learned from IM-260 was helpful though it was summer class and have 11 days class period but Jennifer covered a lot and helped a lot in building the technology updated.There were serious matters of security in the face book and i was abl to resolve it through this class and i came to learn various web 2.0 sites that are really useful.The most important part of this class was web developing and creating teh web page. I really learned a lot about web pages and using the dream weaver software.Even though i had some ideas on photoshop but i was unfamilar to dreamweaver.During the course i was able to use both CS4 and CS3 webs and find some differences that they donot support each other.Still i have some problems in fixing the size of the web page i will find it how to make them constant in everyformat. The other thing i liked about this class is the active participation from all and the teacher. I used to thought four hours classes will be boring and sleepy but i was really exciting about this class and tell my friends to take this class. In addition i learned how to make social resume and do social networking which is one of the great achievement of this class.To sum up IM 260 was really helpful and technology updated.

Today, second last day of the class was fun as we learned about google sites, voki and slide rocket. Talking about the google sites, google has broad search engine that is really helpful in case of further use.Google sites helps in developing some web2.0 pages like dream weaver but not professional.This is helpful in developing small webpages. Voki was the fun dealing with different sound effects and the different faces that anyone can make in the webpage. It might be useful in making the sound effects and post them in the personal webpages.I think everyone in the class found voki interesting than the yahoo pipes that me and my friend shaurav presented. Though the topic sounds interesting but we have to dig a lot to collect information and operate them to make the proper yahoo pipes.About sliderocket, i found it useful in my summer classes that i am going to take in the july.It was the option for powerpoint and i found different stuffs that powerpoint doesot support such as group meeting and 3-D Animation.I hope this web will be really helpful for me in future use to present in my class. I found every group members prepared and helpful during the lab classes.Taking this class is really helpful for me in future classes for using the technology.

Response to the peer teaching

Peer teaching was really exciting and i learned some important tools that might be useful in future use such as google doc. and zoho.I found google Docs really useful as i could make important group presentation and share with members of my group so they will be able to read and edit the presentation.In this way if one member could not appear in the meeting then they will be able to learn what we worked on and what were our plannings for the projects.Moreover google Docs was helpful in sharing important documents to the family members by inviting them to google Docs.Similarly Zoho was helpful is making spreadsheets for the maths classes and the management classes. I found Zoho more advanced than google Docs. as they have more features and really easy to operate. For my future use i am going to use the Zoho.About EfolioMinnesota i found some confusion and hard to operate. I think this web will be also useful for the professional life in making the data base regarding the education and the experiences that might be useful in finding jobs. As we know social networking is important, Efolio will really helps in making networks and findings jobs.In Addition i found all the group members were really prepared and well managed and i had thought each group will teach for an hour but it was short and sweet.During the lab time each groups helps around the class which was really impressive and cooperative. From today's class i got more confidence and learned how to present to the class for my peer teaching tomorrow.
