Today I looked at other videos to get some ideas for my video. I also looked up sound clips and found a few that would enhance my video.

Flat Classroom Project Research

Today on the flat classroom project I worked out finding people who are in my group and adding them. I am trying to get in touch with people to see if they have any research done and if they would like to share it with me. I also answered people who commented on my wiki and met some new people. I did some more research on my project, but I have lots of cites and research , so I am just waiting to see if other people are going to get in touch with me. I have met two members of my group, but they have no done much yet, and I am waiting for ideas and research from them.

My name is Courtney! I am in group E and my top is Google. Group E is discussing how Google has affect art, leisure, and entertainment. Each aspect is very important in our everyday lives. Google has made a big impact on each because it is one of the most, if not the most, popular search engine on the Internet. Google affects art in various ways. Simply searching for "art" in Google will bring up millions of pages that have to do with art. You can find biographies about any artist and what they painted by simply typing their name into Google. Art is made easier because instead of going to an art gallery, you can see the paintings in Google Images and find out everything you need to about the painter. Google also takes away from art. If people only look up art on the Internet, then what is the point of having an art gallery or museums? Leisure is a different story because everyone spends their leisure time differently. Google is a great tool for leisure. You can put in a word of something you like to do an can come up with thousands of pages about what you like. You can quickly find something to do on Google and it will take you to the direct website. You can play games on Google and there is also many apps on Google that you can use. They offer great programs where you can make documents, presentations, and even your own IGoogle page. I think that Google is becoming more social. Each day they make new adjustments that fit people's needs. They also update their website everyday and change the Google logo around holidays and sometimes just for fun. I like websites that keep up with their page. You can search anything in your leisure time on Google. The negative side to searching things for leisure on Google is that you are sitting in front of a computer instead of doing something active. Sitting in front of the computer for a long time is not healthy for you. People spend lots of hours a day on the computer when they could be out doing other things. That is where cell phones and Internet on your cell phones help. Google on your phone is more convenient than a computer because you can access it wherever you go, and you do not need to be around a computer.Entertainment also goes along with leisure in my opinion. You can search games and videos and have access to millions of things that are entertaining to you. I like that you can search specific keywords, that way, you can look at something that you actually like and understand, and will enjoy! Google has negative and positive side effects. I think overall it is a very helpful site. I know that I use Google a lot personally and I know they have really developed and help many people, and keep improving!
