Present

http://present.me/tour
present.me is a web page that they created to be able to record a video very easily just explaining something and you can record yourself but at the same time having pictures so that it seems like you're talking to someone face to face. its very good because you can see it anywhere and its like talking to someone face to face when its not possible because of any type  inconvenient. some people might say that that why Skype exists but for Skype you both have to be in at the same time while present.me you an just record it and the other person can see it later.
present.me would be very useful for school and students for projects especially group projects sometimes you can meet up with you're group and you cant decide an time for all  of you to go on Skype it could be very useful because you could record a video of yourself with all of you're ideas and even picture of your ideas and send it to you're partners.it could also be useful for a presentation you could record you're self and at the same time show pictures of what you're explaining so that its just like if you were presenting in class.
how to make it?
its very easy to make a present.me here are the steps:

  • first you need to now what you want to say
  • you need a slide show it can be a power point
  • then go to the create tab which is in the top right corner
  • in the create tab go to proceed which is on the bottom of the right side
  • in proceed upload you're slid show and wait a minute until the webpage process it
  • then you record yourself with you're webcam using the arrows and space to move slides forward in the speed you want
  • after you're finished recording you're done just save and there you go!!
I have to make an account and a web camera to do the video.

Digital Nation


Agree:

· I agree that people live in a technology world because we do everything by technology and we don’t even realize. I think we do this because it simplifies allot of things.

· I agree that teachers now have to find new more interesting ways of teaching to make sure that the students are not on the web and not paying attention because if they don’t its very easy for a student to get lost by logging into Facebook, e-mail etc.

· I agree that students can multitask and do more than one thing at a time because i think we can concentrate in more than to things a time.

· I agree that technology can be addictive because once we use it once we really like it because it makes a lot of things faster and simpler like doing a research or communication.

· I agree that its good to teach kids to use internet safely because internet can be good but it does have allot of dangerous things.

· I agree that people that were born in today’s world will be better with technology than their parents or grandparents because we were born in the technology world learning what it was and how to use it since we were born.

· I agree that being too much time on internet can affect your learning because in internet there’s a lot of ways you can get easily distracted but, i also think that if you learn how to use it wisely it can be a very good tool.

· I agree that teaching kids how to multitask is good because in today’s world it’s necessary to be able to multitask.

·  I think that the free internet place in Korea is a good idea because even if internet is really good and useful there’s a person who use it in excess and are addicted and need help.
  •  I agree that theres some kids are so involved into internet that they dicnoect from the world because theres people that are son invlved into technology they dont even now whats going around them.
  • I agree that games can be addictive because people really like the chance of  being a diffrent character and games can be intresting especially when you can keep playing for a long time.
  • I agree that people on virtual worlds are more socail because i think that by the internet they dont care alot because people ontknow who they are.
  • I agree that people prefer the virtuals world because they can have everything they dreamed about or really wanted to have and couldnt. 
  •  I agree with when they say that even when you are in the same place as someone they can be somewhere else because many people don’t pay attention to what they’re doing because they are very concentrated in whatever there doing with technology
  • I agree that people should spend less time on their phones because we start to get to involved and it can start to affect your personal live.
  • I agree that we should spent less time playing computers games because we get to involved and in is not real life.
 

Disagree:

· I disagree that there’s people that CANT live without technology and cant "disconnect" from technology because i think that if someone try’s they can do it.

· I disagree with saying that internet is like oxygen because there are people that don’t use internet and we don’t need it to survive.
  •   I disagree that relashinships that started online can be rally good because online anu=yone can pretend to be someone there not.

  •  I disagree that technology is bringing us together because before we talked face to fcae or met face to fcae and now with tachnbology you can pretend to be who ever you want and also with technology we dont  pay attention to whats around us, to people that are around us or even whats happening outside of the virtual world.
