I think it is important to know your school is offering such technology courses that they offer, because truly, technology is the future. I think its extremely important to take these classes. Even if you have no desire to know new technology it may give you a significant raise because you know how to use a certain program or maybe computer better than other people who have the same job as you. In my high school career, so far, I have taken Mirco, where I learned the Microsoft Office programs, and MultiMedia, where I have learned many different apps and programs to advance my knowledge of technology, and I love MultiMedia! I currently do not plan to take anymore technology classes because I do not have the room in my schedule to add a technology class. I am enrolled to take Health Occupations Core where I will become a Certified Nurses Assistant. In this class I will learn technology things too like such as an AED that is used to get the rhythms of the heart or to shock someone if their heart stops working, it may not seem like technology but did we have these 100 years ago? No. So this is a technological advance!
This is an amazing advance in technology! Using brain waves to have people with ALS or an amputated limb be able to use their limbs again is amazing! This is huge! Can you imagine how great this is for a person who has never had legs to walk? Or maybe to use their hands if he/she was never able to use them before! There is nothing to lose from supporting this, this is a huge benefit for individuals now! Some people might be skeptical to have this procedure done, but what could you lose? This is such a cool thing technology has offered for us. Advances like this just shows us how close we must be to curing things like cancer, multiple sclerosis, or other chronic illnesses. "Khan Academy is an organization on a mission. We're a not-for-profit with the goal of changing education for the better by providing a free world-class education for anyone anywhere.All of the site's resources are available to anyone. It doesn't matter if you are a student, teacher, home-schooler, principal, adult returning to the classroom after 20 years, or a friendly alien just trying to get a leg up in earthly biology. Khan Academy's materials and resources are available to you completely free of charge." Says Salman Khan the founder and owner of Khan Academy. I think anyone can benefit from Khan Academy, students, teachers, parents, literally anyone! I think this is a great program if you don't understand a concept in a class, for example I don't completely understand my Economics class and I found helpful videos on Khan that were relatively short and easy to follow. They really put the concept that I wasn't understanding out there for me! I love it and would recommend it to anyone! |
