Online entertainment

in the past 3 months i have used these websites for online entertainment:
www.youtube.com
www.secondlife.com
www.extreme.com
www.scuzzstuff.org
www.bbc.co.uk/sport
www.skysports.co.uk
www.animationfactory.com

i rarely go on entertainment websites because i don't really have time to on these types of websites however all of the information and entertainment on these sites very and can appeal to anyones taste... especially on youtube because there are many videos and animations that can be seen. im sure many people have visited youtube.com and they regularly use it.

Learning Object

once again the school is at fault.. the internet/ school will not let me access this site: http://http//www.adobe.com/macromedia/events/online/ondemand/index.html i do not know why? this has stopped me from finishing my research and the internet being painfully slow is a big problem. therfore i will have to do this in my own time because the computer will not let me access it.
i will be suprised if it lets me finish my work and lets me post this article.

Virtual classroom

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/elearning/virtualclassroom.html
the macromedia/ adobe virtual class room is excellent because of the amount of information it contains.. also it brings many people togetehr who want to learn about the same subject as it were.

the virtual classroom offers more help than a teacher can give you.. there are more solutions to the answer than a simple answer. also if you do not get the question the person can ask for help and they will get it..

anyway this can be a hinder to some people because they may not have certain software that may not allow the virtual classroom to run because of the out dated software.

anwyays.. thumbs up for the virtual classroom.

NetFrog-

http://frog.edschool.virginia.edu/Frog1/menu.html

first, i'd like to say.. this website is out of date. what i mean by this is that there are no moving animations, the website is very dull and boring (no colour, all leftsided, all monotone). if i was into dissecting frogs.. i wouldnt even want to do anymore because i would have fallen asleep due to the website. however the website is very informative making dissecting a frog very easy with short simple and understandable sentences. which for someone to follow are very good. also the images are fairly blurry.. but the are elidgeable which are a great use to people because they know where to make an incision.

http://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk this website is apart of the science museums online learning centre for A-level students... here i will be evaluating the site against its purpose and looking at what it teaches us about online learning...
This website is good for quick and understanable background learning.. however it does not contain great detail about the topics e.g. there is only a limited amount of text on each page also there are no text on some which means there has to be an audio player where someone may need speakers.. as i said before about not containing much about certain topics.. it does contain vital information about the history of computers and how they have
But however.. it shows largely how our world is adapting to online learning and how many people are privaliged enough to use the computers to read about their chosen topics and this informaion many people are reading can be changed and updated if new discoveries are found...
the website is great because it can be easily navigated around there are many links to different pages.. which is great because it saves everyone getting stressed about losing the page where they found their information about the history of computres.. where they need the address for their bibliography..

online banking could be improved in the future by having everyone having an online account.. therfore this would minimize the amount of banks... because i dont think too many people use banks nowadays.. because of new online services! the online service would be able to plan out the expendature and income of money every month and work out and average for each month.. this would help people.. also maybe giving advice to people on how they should use their money to pay bills..

this is the future...
