In between 30 and 50 words write what you would like to learn the most in this class. What does the acronym HTML stand for? What does the acronym URL stand for? (Tell me how you know for each) Find a Blog posting on the use of technology in education published in 2010. Copy the URL for the blog and paste it in your document. Using a search engine find an empirical study on the use of technology in a child care setting published between 2005 and 2010. Copy the URL for the study. What operating system is your computer using? How much RAM does your computer have? What is the current speed of your internet connection?
