Online Classes

Now, using the computer in class is taken to a whole new level. Online classes are given for certain courses. This gives the students the option to take it from home and in their free time. I have a few friends who took this option for certain classes and enjoyed it. They said it was easy because they could control the time they did work, took tests, etc. By a simple click of a mouse the whole course showed up on the screen. Talk about using technology in a class, this whole class was based on the computer! Also, they said it was easy because if there was ever a problem they used the same approach as they would a regular class (e-mailing their professor). There was a quick link on the course website where they could send e-mails as many times as they want and the professor would get back ASAP.

About the Internet

Studying for the Exam, i learned many things about the internet. For example. what HTTP, HTML, URL, and FTP stand for.
HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language, URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, and FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. Each one of these has a different function and place in the website address. For instance, the HTTP is the beginning of the address, and the the URL can be found at the end of the address. I think it is interesting to learn about these things because I use them in my everyday life surfing the web!
