GarageBand



In last class I liked playing around with garage band. It is a cool program. I love music and I love playing around with music and it was a lot of fun, changing original song to something I like. GarageBand allows you to do so. I am thinking of making a video and that program could be so useful for that. You can do a parody of any song that you want. I don't really fully understand GarageBand but spending couple of hours on it, it is user friendly, which is very cool. Another feature that I like about the GarageBand is the fact that you can learn to play a new instrument like a piano or a guitar. That is awesome, you don't have to pay for lessons, it's free.
I am interested in playing more with GarageBand. It is another software on the mac that makes me buy a macbook pro.

Presentation Night


After listening to some of the presentations, I started to see what Karl was saying about the technology in the classroom on how soon we might not use actual textbooks and stuff like that. It is kind of exciting what kind of technology there is outthere for teachers to use. It is like the whole world is at their finger tips. Thats exciting and scary at the same time. What will happen next? though I am excited to get my smart board! :)

I think that the way the projector is set up for the smart boad eliminates the problems of being in the way of the projector.

Ripping CDs


I was fimiliar with the concept of ripping cds to computer but I did not know much about the bit rates. It is neat. Now I will rip my cds with the higher bit rate so I can have a better quality music. Good stuff.
