Day Three of Technology!

This picture was taken on earth day. its a word cloud of all of the things searched that day! the bigger the word, the more times it was searched.

It's day three, and we are already more then halfway through the week! 

Today was an eventful day, with many things to blog about!

The day started out right on time, 8:45 on the dot! We talked about how stories and writing have evolved, and how we think people will be reading in the future. Nick came up with an analogy. Bikes are to cars, as books are to online reading. Do you think people will read books in the future?

At 9:22, we got back from break and we talked about what information is, and we came up with this.

• Knowledge
• Facts
• Things that are told to you/you find out yourself.

We found out that there is no scientific evidence that we ever forget anything. It baffled us all!

At 10:07 we go back to our discussions on reading. We looked up books online and found some funny ones!

When we got back from our second break of the day we Twittered a little bit, and then Matthew showed us a cool website similar to Wiki Maps Vision Beta, which I posted yesterday, but instead of having things about wiki's, it shows you where people are uploading pictures to Twitter! Very cool!

10:53, and we are about to learn something new! DELICIOUS! It's a site where you can store your bookmarks online! We watched Social Blogging in English, and signed up for our own accounts! We learned about tagging, and all we all tagged a couple websites!

LUNCH TIME!!

 At 1:00 we came back and Twittered a little bit more

At 1:15 we start to learn about wikis! We make a Camelot wiki for another exploratorium. We interviewed them, and made a wiki with somewhere around 15 pages! 

We went on out last break of the day, and then we came back, and posted a little more on our blogs. That was a lot of stuff to fit into one day! 

Our favorite video of the day!
