Investigate

I am now doing a project about new technology. I chose tablet PC's as a topic. A tablet PC is a laptop with a touch screen. Usually you can twist the screen around so you can write on it with a special pen. It is like a mechanical notebook. It can help us in school because we can write quick notes on the computer without typing. Of course you can also type normaly. There are a lot of companys that make Tablet PC's. There is Toshiba, Acer, Dell, HP, IBM and Fujitsu. A Tablet PC costs around 1000 to 2000 Dollars. It is used all the time. A lot of people use it. I think it is a great invention.

How I can use iGoogle to support my learning at school

I now have an iGoogle account. It is very useful because you have everything you need on one page. For example, if you need to check if someone wrote an e-mail and serach something on the internet you go to iGoogle and search whatever you have to search and check your e-mail. You can use it for homework, for work, for school ... I can use it check what someone else wrote on their blogs, if my teacher send a e-mail to me, if I have homework, what subject I have next, what afterschool activities I have etc.

Holiday

We had holidays so I couldn't add another post. It was nice to just relax or read a book. I was in Oman which is a very nice place to see. Here are some place that are nice to see:
Nizwa
Muscat
The Mountains
Turtle Beach
It is also very nice to visit the Forts all over the country.

What is a Blog??

A blog is a combination between the web and a log. It allows a user to write down information in the Internet and give other people access to your information. Blogger is one kind of blog website. A blog can be used in a lot of subjects. You can put your information on a blog and the teacher can grade and look at it. Also teachers can give comments to the work done so far. I think it is a good Idea to use blogs in different subjects like English or French/Spanish. Here is the link to the Wikipedia Blog Page. This is a good website because there is a lot of information about blogging. This is a video on how to start a blogger account. Here is the Hyperlink to the blogger home page.
