Educational Twitter

Twitter Knowledge

1: Twitter can be used for educational purposes in tons of ways first is by following certain things on twitter. For example a few years ago there was a conflict in Egypt and the way word got out from the Egyptian citizens was through twitter and that is how millions of Americans learned of the event.

2: Twitter can also be used for educational use like putting hash-tags like youth vote to choose your vote. They can be used for voting, and or put hash-tags for special events during school.

3:  Twitter can be used by teacher to student. The teacher can make  an account and use it just like a school website except making on twitter will make it easier for kids to see. So they can post homework assignments, projects, tests, etc.

4:  It doesn't even have to be linked to school. Anybody can make a twitter so that everyone can follow and learn something new. If anything this is better for education because people can learn at free will. They learn about stuff that interests them all around the world.

5: Twitter can be used for projects like pictures of the projects to post on twitter. You can also use the hash-tags for project if want to put in on the project.

RSS Assignment

1. The reason I selected all of these sites to subscribe to because they are all very interesting to me.
2. I think it was very easy because almost everything I wanted to subscribe to had a RSS feed.
3. Some of my Favorite sites were the ones that kept me updated with thee Baltimore Ravens and The Chicago Bulls.
4. You can use RSS Feeds even to teach of class because you can have everyone in your class to subscribe to your site so they can know the latest projects homework etc.
5. I probably won't use a lot of the news feeds but I will use all of my personal feeds all the time so I can know what is up.

Smart Guns

Smart Guns the newest step to gun control. What a smart gun is a gun with I guess you can call them sensors. These "sensors" will take note of thee gun owners grip or what the gun owner wears on his hand. Like a ring a watch etc. What the gun is suppose to do is it will only fire in one person's hands. This will increase gun control because there has been tons of deaths because a person's guns have gotten into the wrong hands. But with there smart guns it doesn't matter who's hands the gun gets in. It will not shoot an the hands of anyone but the shooter's.
