Net Gen 6

In this project it is going to be very important that we stay connected to each other and make sure we know what each other is doing so we can stay connected in the same topics.  When you work in a group it is important that you know that each other is doing so we don’t repeat thoughts and so that we flow together.  In this specific project we are going to need to connect to each other so that we can get to know each other and also so we can finish the group project that we have been working on.  Staying connected can help because if one of my group members finds a website that everyone can use than they can send it to us; this is a type of connecting.  When I am working on a blog they can use my blog and start a conversation.  If I find a website and I think it has a lot of information than I can show my classmate by posting it to my Diigo wall. By staying connected to the internet we are all connected to each other and we can be more of a group and work better than only connecting through our teacher.

Diigo can be use do talk to people from around the world or in your own town.  It can also be used to tag a website.  Some people can use Diigo to also write notes on a website that they see as useful to the group they are working in. This can be used on any device. Why is this? Diigo can be accessed from any device that has internet.  With internet you can also tag pages you like and post them into your Diigo website.  You can also use Diigo to highlight single words or paragraphs.  With the high lighting tool you can so your classmates or coworker what exactly what you want them to look at.  With screen shot you can show them the whole page and see exactly what you are looking at.  To make notes all you have to do is put a pin on your screen shot or on the link.  The pins can be commented on by others who have access to the edited viewing of the screen shot or link.  On Diigo you can see all of the websites that you save and/or have access to whether you are working with a group from school or a business.

My group is the Internet of things with customization.  I think customization is important to today’s day and age because many people have either phones or computers or even tablets.  On phones you can change the background to photos or colors of your choice.  On computers you can also change the background but you can also edit things online such as facebook.  On a computer you can be on the internet and edit a photo or video.  You can add videos that you took on your phone and downloaded to your computer.  Something new to us today is a new toy that is bigger than a phone but smaller than a computer.  This new technology is called a tablet.  On tablets you can not only change the backgrounds of everything but you can also access the internet and do as you will.  On tablets you can buy applications in an app market that help you work on the internet, play games, or write a paper.  This will someday be the only thing people need; the tablet is a portable computer and it will one day have a calling capability that will render cell phones useless to the future.  Cell phones will be a thing in the past along with no portable computers.
