Post #6: Keynote Video Response
1. I think the Keynote is called the Big Little Classroom is because its a big group of students but small groups for around the world.
2. The students at Hawkesdale used video chat devices to communicate with the other classroom. The used a Alumanate, a conference web page to collaborate with other classrooms.
3. Anne Mirtschin had brought in these net books to be used anywhere, in and out side the classroom.
4. I believe these "virtual classrooms" can be a useful tool for classrooms. You can collaborate with someone across the glob and ask questions on the subject you are all talking about. Students can learn about the culture from the class your working with, getting to know them better as they are with you.
5. It would be very important to do these things at the same time, especially if their is a time zone difference between the country's the class's are in.

Post # 5: the World is Flat
We had just finish wacthing The World is Flat video in class today and really, its has interesting facts about the progression of the world, but at the same time i ask my self why i should really care about this. The Economic plain field is being leveled by other country's throughout the world. While we, as Americans have become famous for unfortunately, haven't done a damn thing to get there. I do agree with the idea we need to start a REAL Green Revoulotion. As much as i want this to happen, i wonder why this is sparking a hatred in me with this conversation.
Talking about globalization really doesn't interest me right now. This class has brought me to the end of my
Talking about globalization really doesn't interest me right now. This class has brought me to the end of my
patience. It infuriate me and i got more things on my table to settle right now. This country, political and socialy, makes me want to punch someone, but not as much as this class. Presidental election adds and debates are now just mudslinging events. With that off topic out of the way, I'm done.

Post #3: OneNote
What is OneNote?
OneNote is a program made by microsoft. Its basicly a document folder, but has some interesting devices. My class has been using OneNote for the past 2 weeks and here are some of the things you can do.
OneNote allows you to type any were on the page. You can make documents for different class, buisness, or just for hobby's. You can also set up your own background, or template, for each folder. A unique feature about it is it will automattically save your work so far. You can find the same basic editing tools you find on Microsoft Word, but tweeked.
This programe is a good way for other students to organize their class assignments, test days, and projects.

Post #1: About myself
Good Evening! Allow me to introduce myself. My my name is Logan R. Hensley, and I enjoy music, video games, strolls around the neighborhood, playing around with my two adorable cats (Suri and Charlie), reading, and hanging out with friends. I currently go to Valley High school as a Senior. (Man, times flying very fast!), and I'm taking a class called Digital Communications Tools, or Digi Tools, at the moment. From what i know, its meant to aid students about the many digital tools. So then we can use it to help us in life. The blog is meant to discus the software and devices we use in class.
I have also herd about the "Digital Natives"- people who were born to understand technology and use it properly. I use tech for enjoyment like keeping in touch with friends and family whether its using cell phones or chatting online while playing Xbox playing Halo Reach, Borderlands, Lost Planet 2, or Castle Crashers(No Call of Duty, thank you very much). In truth, I'm not in really into the whole Facebook or Twitter, but i will use it if really needed. For most part, me and technology have had a high and low relationship as of late. its made my easy and difficult at most times, but its manageable.
Technology is a strange bird. But when you learn to use it, it can become your best friend. What do you think?
