Bruins blow out the Habs 7-0 3/24/11 1080p HD

Bruins vs Montreal the other night was a high scoring game. But all the points were scored by the Bruins. The Bruins scored 7 goals in the game and Tim Thomas had a shutout. This game was an important game because last time we played the canadiens it was a very dirty game on both ends. It came down to the wire at the end But the bruins won that game 8-6. Bruins have always had a bad relationship with the canadiens and this was a good way to show them who the better of the two teams were. A couple nights ago the bruins beat the flyers to clinch a playoff spot were they hope to go all the and win the Stanley Cup.

Japan Destruction

Last friday a devastating earthquake hit Japan. This was considered one of the worst earthquakes ever. the earthquake was 8.8 on the rictor scale. Just when you thought that was bad soon after a tsunami hit, They say it was do to the earthquake. This devastated Japan killing whats expected to be over ten thousand and injuring much more. This was the fifth largest earthquake of all time. After all the disaster there were still some threats like nuclear powerplants. Two powerplants have already exploded and there are still threats that another could go off. Even when that was all done the country of Japan will still be in danger becuase of all the toxins and gases that came from the explosions. But the main concern is will they be able to recover from this devastating disater.

Tech in classrooms

The latest technology used in classrooms has been the Ipad. In my history class we have started using Ipads to right a short paper on school reform. These have been helpful not only because fast internet but they are portable. The idea of moving around in class consulting other people is much better then just sitting at a stationary place for the whole time period. With the Ipads I was able to talk to my classmates individually and brainstorm ideas with them. The Ipad was also usefull in class because it has no mouse or keyboard, -you do that all with your hand which I think is more convinient. Technology in class especially the Ipads helped me finish quicker with less hassle. I think pretty soon every school will use Ipads not just ours.

Blabberize!

BLABBERIZE is a cool and intresting way to write what you think. This site is like voki accept you can pick any photo you want. When you pick your photo you write what  you think you can record your own voice and also type what you want to say and the avatar says it. This could be helpful for someone who has lost their voice you can write it and have the avatar on the computer could say it although that sounds pointless it's really fun. Also if you were not going to be there one day send the link to the class and have the avatar explain what you will be doing in class. There are obviously easier ways to contact and tell the students  what to do but this site adds some fun to the lecture.  Blabberize is one of the many sites you can pick a picture and have it talk but blabberize gives you th most freedom. If you want to have fun while learning in class check out this cool website.

Ipad 2

Apple has just came out with the new Ipad its called the Ipad two. They have made several changes to the Ipad two. Although it sounds expensive the Ipad two is still going for its original price. The first change is the two cameras front and back too take photos and do live chats face too face with other people. This could help if you wanted to take a virtual class. Next is the magnetic smart cover when  it attaches to Ipad the Ipad goes into sleep mode conserving the energy. The cover also switches into a useful stand to hold up the Ipad. Last is the thinness of the Ipad two it is 33% thinner and 15% lighter than the original Ipad and it holds more data.We will be using the new Ipad two in school next year and I can't wait.

Teachers and Facebook?

In the article Teaching the Facebook Generation it tells us how to many teachers are not able to keep their distance from students on facebook. I agree that this could be bad but teachers know the risk when creating a facebook page. Teachers can always block there personal info from non friends. also they dont have to accept the students request. It can be risky but why should teachers not be able to get a facebok its a little unfair. I think teachers should be able to have a facebook.
