Post #4

Chapter 4 introduces basic hardware to the class...just in case anybody still didn't know what a keyboard was for.

Okay, sarcasm aside, I'll toss some constructive commentary into this blog addition. In terms of relevancy to education, I'd point to CD/DVD burners as in interesting new addition to the teacher arsenal. The ability to create your own subject oriented video content is a powerful tool, and allows teachers (and students) to frame information in new visual and interactive ways. Of course, you'd have to be lucky enough to work in a school well-funded enough to have access to DVD burners in order for your students to enjoy these benefits.

For new lessons/personal info, see the last post....because I didn't learn or do anything new since I posted it!

DVD Burners would be a nice touch to the classrooms.

Interesting point you bring up with the CD/DVD burners in the classroom, sounds like a nice spin off of a boring lecture!

I agree CD/DVD burners are good additions to hardware.

Haha, I like the sarcasm though. But yes, DVD burners could be a quite useful tool. Especially if you're dealing in videos or some type of A/V composing.

I know, but for some it is good to know what the actual names are.
