Before I took BEIS, I only knew the basics about technology and web 2.0 tools. I used Google to help me in research projects and Microsoft word and that was about it. Now, the class knows of many websites that will benefit us in the future. So it has made a positive impact for all us.

Web 2.0 Technologies
[|Google]. The most popular search engine. [|Blogger]. Blogger is where people can keep and update their blogs with pictures, videos or text. [|Big Huge Labs](Mash-Up). A site where you can you turn your digita photos into mash-ups. Things like motivational posters, movie posters, magazine covers, collages, calendars, frames, etc. [|Flickr]. A community website where you use images and video hosting. [|Facebook]. A social networking site where you interact with other people. [|Youtube] It is video sharing website where people can share their uploaded videos.

What is digital citizenship and why is it important?
= = Digital Citizenship is a concept that helps technology leaders and teachers understand what students need to know in order to use technology appropriately. The [|nine elements] tell us how to use technology responsibly and avoid slang.

==What is Flat Classroom?== A flat classroom is a global, collaborative project using Web 2.0 tools to foster communication, collaboration and creation. People are able to work together from around the world without any barriers. Thomas L. Friedman's book, "The World is Flat" also expressed this. In the project I participated in the Google team and my topic was to explain Google. My video covered how internet can serve as entertainment when people are bored and they can use the search engine Google. I believe the participation impacted me by showing how people of different cultures can come together and work. I learned new web 2.0 tools that will benefit me in the future references and I have now have a better understanding of how to use them. I will able to look back on this project that helped me. I did not get the attend the conference but I did learn from others from the [|Flat Classrom Conference Ning.] I saw how everyone was to get along with different cultures and were able to make life long friends. I would support the Eracism project because I agree that teenagers should be able to share their opinions about the world. They have power to make a difference in this world and encourage others to speak up as well. Also, it shows how other people's actions and comments can affect the person being picked on. media type="custom" key="3848529"

==What is [|NetGenEd]? == This projects shows how now generations are being run by technology. It involves the students collaborating, reasearching and social networking.The Horizon Report introduces 6 emerging techonologies that will most likely enter our mainstream. I participated in the group entertainment and geo-everything. It means that everywhere around you there is technology that gives everything a location using internet, which is what NetGen depended on as well. It helps locate people or where a place is located. In education, it helps students by using things such as [|google maps] or [|itouch apps] Geo-everything can help businesses by using [|GPS satillites] or [|geotagging] that can help to find the destination of a place or where the picture was taken. My video covered entertainment and geo-everything together. I showed how a classroom started out with nothing but paper and pencil. Then it involved over time with computers, iPods, smart tables, etc. It's showing as time evolves new technology increases with better advantages to people. I believe the participation in this project taught me how important technology is getting to be. Technology is the future for us and future generations.
