Blog 4

Chapter four states the many different devices used to store data. I think that storage is probably one if not the most important device within the computer. It allows you to save your place in a document and then you can later return to it and make any corrections or even add information. The devices that are now used to store this data is also very useful. Thumb drives and floppy disks make documents portable and easier to access.
I found that many people are familiar with the same programs as me. Though some students also seem more capable and also very familiar with the program. I think that this class is to help excel their knowledge of the various programs. I also found that many students are trying to learn more about Excel and know a lot about Word and Powerpoint. I think that everyone is pretty equal with what they want to know more about and already know about.
I think that I learned a lot about the program Inspiration. I do not think I would have ever used it before. I now think that Inspiration is very unique and gives making a diagram a more creative perspective. Inspiration is something I will use in teaching because it is easy and resourceful.

I agree that everyone here seems to be in the same position when it comes to what programs they want to become familiar with.

Inpiration is pretty cool ... kind of confusing at first, but overall it's nice.

Inspiration could be a great visual teaching and learning tool. Previous reseach revealed that in most cases, visual information is better than just textual information in enhancing learning. 2 points.
