Reflection+Page

Adam Amerson Mulkey Eighth Grade Exit Project March 30, 2011 Reflection Page I know that my sources are valid because I checked on multiple different websites and they all have the same information. Another way that I know my sources are valid is because they do not have the little squiggly line in the title of the website. One hardware/software problem that I had was trying to find all of the information that I needed and know that it is true information. Another problem that I had was trying to make a video. I had to download a whole bunch of things before I could make it. A big problem that I had was that I couldn’t use a flash drive so I couldn’t do a PowerPoint at home. Another problem that I had was that I couldn’t access certain websites at school that had very important information that I needed and I also had trouble downloading videos on my wikispace. I fixed my first problem by going to more than one website to clarify that the information was true. To fix my second problem I just forgot about doing a video and did a PowerPoint instead. I fixed my third problem by doing a PowerPoint at school and then copying it to my wikispace. When I got home I went to the websites that I couldn’t access at school to get that information that I needed, and that’s how I fixed that problem. I fixed the last problem by just putting pictures on my wikispace instead of a video. Technology is changing or society because you can find information immediately on the internet. Whereas before you had to go to the library and find the information in a book or buy an encyclopedia and read that. It is also changing our society because it is cheap instead of paying hundreds of dollars for encyclopedias and then having to renew them every couple of years.
