Music Zone Widget

             Music on any Apple smart phone is easily accessed through the control center.  This, however, only allows a limited amount of controls for your music; fast forwarding, skipping, and pausing.  The Music Zone Widget allows you to browse through your music library, change songs, and also see what song is on deck.  Once the app is installed all you need to do to activate it is swipe down from the top of your home-screen.

Tech Blog Posting 2-23-15



A recent update to the Android Lollipop devices will allow users to activate settings using simple voice control.  The only three settings that can be toggled by voice control are wi-fi, bluetooth, and the flashlight.  A drop down will appear once the phone recognizes the voice commands.  This drop down menu shows what settings are being toggled. The voice control could also bring up shortcuts to other settings as well, such as GPS,  NFC, and Airplane modes.

Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Posting

 
          This year I have decided to take the web 2.0 course.  I had previously taken this class in the seventh grade.  I expected to lean the same things we had learned when I first took the class.  How to use blogger, google, and other various web applications.  This year, however, will not be the same as the first time.  Since we are older and more experienced we will be learning more in depth about new technology and how to use web applications to help with work, school, and for your own enjoyment. Check out our teachers blog here!
               We work on new projects almost every week.  Most, if not all, of these projects will be graded.  We also do a technology blog posting almost every Friday.  These blog postings can be about any new technology in the world.  We prepare a blog post with information about the topic, we can also include different multimedia.  This includes pictures, links, and different informational videos.
               The thing I like most about this class is how interesting some of the topics are.  Technology is one of the most relevant things in our generation.  It gives us huge platforms to express our ideas and show others our creativity.  It also can help us with future careers and school. Learning how to use the web to your advantage is very interesting.  It can only benefit us in the long run.  You can see this intro video Mr.Porfido showed us in the beginning of our course here!

Copyright Article

Things I've learned from this article,


  • All things you create or capture are copyrighted, even without filling out paperwork.
  • If you were to post a picture you took on your camera, your picture is now copyrighted as well.
  • For example, Flickr, is one of many licensed applications.
  • This means, the license could allow you to use the photo but you have to give credit to the photographer.
