Google 20% Day 2

Ms. Shawn, I have been unable to anything on any of the Google Days, since the program won't download, and although I downloaded Mosync at home and brought it on a USB, but it still didn't work. I asked of help, but it still didn't work. So, what should I do?

Objectives:
Install Mosync
Play and experiment on Mosync
Try to grasp the basic idea of programming an app

Evidence:
 I was unable to do anything. Yet, here is the proof:

Philter It

-link to the site posted on your blog:

philterit.com

- description of the purpose of the site posted on your blog

The purpose of this site is to organize your email and show it as icons. This helps organize all your email by senders, and is especially useful when you have many emails from Facebook, since it separates them from the other emails, and adds the Facebook icon as the category of several emails. The best thing is that it is all done automatically. Philter It supports AOL, Gmail, and Yahoo! Mail. There are several categories like: Entertainment, Retail, and Social in which any of the icons fall in. Summarizing, it organizes email.

-explanation about HOW to use the site (step by step guide)

1. Sign Up into Philter It using your email credentials

2. Wait for PhilterIt to import your emails
3. Chose what icons/senders you want on your Dashboard
4. If you want, add another email account by heading over to account settings.
5. Drag'n'drop any contact that you might think is important for you to have on your dashboard.
6. Enjoy your new and reorganized email!

-create an example that shows how to use the site (make 

something using the site, put a link or screen shot on your 

blog)

-list examples of how the site might be used by other students 

in the class

Students are now able to organize their email, so they will receive emails from teachers and have their email organized so their Facebook notification don't occupy all the top space of the inbox. This way, student productivity will be increased because they will be able to identify important and non-important emails.
Teachers will also be able to organize their email by: Students, Personal, and Brands.

Digital Nation

Ms. Shawn,

We were unable to end the movie, because the video beam did not work and they took too long to bring a TV and a DVD. Here are the agree/disagree statements that I was able to do.

Statements:
I do not agree that multitasking is 'dumbing' the world, they're smarting it since you can now do many things at the same time and it increases effectiveness.

I do agree that technology submerges us in different digital worlds, but they really don't take us away from the other, real, world.

I do not agree that using laptops in Universities is not making the learning process effective, but the students decision and their individual capability. They need to realize if they can or cannot according to the person.

Brains can do things at once, because you can chew gum and walk, think and make your heart beat. So your brain can multitask.

I agree with the doctors sometimes when they say that multitaskers get slower when multitasking because  it does distract people. But the level of multitasking differs.

I do agree with the neurologist because going on Google is interacting with more parts if your brain than reading a book.

I agree that technology is completely submerged in our world, since we now use it for everything.

I agree with the addiction to the Internet, because a constant use of it, can cause a yearning for more. This is why I think that parents should control this.

I agree with Young-Ils mother, since the computer makes it hard to be good at school. It is an addiction. In the recent future, the Internet will be considered a drug.

I agree that the kids which are addicted to the Internet are casualties of the digital revolution.

I agree that the Internet has evolved the the human being, and childhood.

I agree that the web is now how one lives, not what one does.

I agree with the Korean government by applying the responsible use of computers and its ethics and etiquette.

I agree with the boy's parents who send him to a school where a laptop is necessary since it is a great tool and one he'll be using for the rest of his life, and he should learn appropriate ways to use it. (as well as new ways).
