Part 2 Google to the Max

     The Internet is a reliable source when searching information about any subject, doing projects, and learning things you need to know for everyday living. You can find endless possibilities when searching the web for information and the way to search for information is very important.  is very important. WWW is one way to search for something on the Internet but it is not the Internet! WWW is something you can access through the Internet but the Internet is the brains of everything. A search engine is how you find information and "spiders" get that information. There are many different types of search engines such as: google, yahoo, safari, MSN, and many more.  

    Billions of people look for information on these search engines. The way of searching is very important to find the best information. Typing in certain phrases to get the most reliable information is the best way to go. That way you get the best information. To find information on the web using techniques such as phrase searching, truncation, special characters, and search limits. Using truncation is a 1 for 1,000,000 deal. Typing in one word will give you hundreds of others just like it. Pearl- culturing is another way to search information and get that information from a better source. Using one source will give you the ability to find other similar sources. You have to be sure when searching online you find the correct websites to search on. There are many people who post things on the website that are garbage and useless for those who are looking up information so finding websites that are reliable is very important. Completing simple tasks like these will help finding information more fun and more reliable.

Part 3 Google to the Max

There are no differences between the two.

The title page I am evaluating is called "Nuclear Armageddon, facts and information"

http://www.alamongordo.com/nuclear_armageddon.html 

info@alamongordo.com

I do not believe this page is as good or better then what I could find in journal articles of other published literature. There is a very low amount of information on this website unlike many other websites that would have more information and a better quality of information. In other published articles there is commentaries, better pictures, and stories from people who lived during that time.  

"Part 1 Google to the Max"

Example 1: What is matched on?

    

• PageRank Technology: PageRank reflects our view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that we believe are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results.

  PageRank also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value, thus giving the linked page greater value. We have always taken a pragmatic approach to help improve search quality and create useful products, and our technology uses the collective intelligence of the web to determine a page's importance.

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  

• Hypertext-Matching Analysis: Our search engine also analyzes page content. However, instead of simply scanning for page-based text (which can be manipulated by site publishers through meta-tags), our technology analyzes the full content of a page and factors in fonts, subdivisions and the precise location of each word. We also analyze the content of neighboring web pages to ensure the results returned are the most relevant to a user's query.

  
  

  Google page rank matches with google page rank calculator because the search engine provides words that allow the perfect proximity and placement to find what you are looking for. That is why it has brought us to the link because of the words or phrases used.  

  
  

  Example 2: Word order and word choice matter

  When searching a certain subject on the internet you can use many different keywords to get a variety of choices. Comparing keywords such as "snake grass, and grass snake" will give you two very different subjects. One talks about snakes while the other talks about a type of grass. When using extra words such as "in" and "the," the search engine will eliminate many pages that dont have anything to do with the subject your researching. When searching something word phrase and the type of words you decide to search are of much importance.

Haiti digital story

Terrified people all around. There was screaming, crying, and the death of many people. When the earthquake hit I knew something bad was about to take place. I then saw buildings collapse one after the other and I was in shock. Why was this destruction happening? The building I was in had collapsed, I saw the ceiling falling and quickly ran for cover. I was safe in a corner but I was trapped from the debree that had fallen. I was one of the lucky ones that was able to survive and was left with only some cuts and bruises. When i was rescued from the people helping I went out to see if I could find my family. I knew I wasn't going to be able to find them because of all the people who were lost. The destruction that took place was hard to believe. There was nothing but remains from buildings and people who lost their lives in this event. I felt all alone, as did everyone that lived in Haiti. My home was gone, my country was gone, and I could only hope that that didn't happen to my family. Search people, and volunteers helped the people in my country as best they could but it will take years and years to fix the problem that has taken place. Many have died, many have injuries and I am struggling to survive my daily life. I am thankful that nothing has happened to me except a few bruises but I hope that the people who are helping my country will continue to help till this destruction is over.

MY REFLECTION:

    While completing our digital stories myself and my fellow classmates have become more globally aware and have progressed in the learning of technology. While creating these digital stories I have had a better understanding of the global issues we are facing in this world as well as yearning to know more about other cultures. Using digital stories is not only fun but it allows us to express our thoughts to the viewers. Part of becoming a global citizen is being aware of your surroundings not only in the world you live in but in others as well. Myself and my fellow students are working hard to make this world a better place to live.

3)List the major points, facts, events, people, and/or ideas of your story:An earthquake hit Haiti in 2010. It destroyed peoples bodies, peoples homes, and their life. 

 

 

 

 

 

4)Why do you feel this story is important to tell? This story is so important to tell because throughout life people go through many disastrous situations in America but also countries around the world. Here in America we are so fortunate to have people like police officers, firemen, doctors, and every section of the army working day and night to protect us and when disaster hits we need to work together to Help! We need to branch out to other countries and realize how much they have lost in this disaster. When the earthquake hit, they lost everything. People came together to raise the money and supplies they needed to get back on their feet and people are working to this day to help. We need to realize that destruction isn't just happening in Haiti but around the world. 

 

 

5) What are some challenges of telling this story? (hard to find information, personal, etc)Since this occurrence happened not long ago  the information will not be so challenging to find. This story was a major one across the globe and many information could be found about it. 

 

 

 

6) List some images that come to mind when you think about this story? People in pain, the destruction that has happened to the homes of people suffering. 

7) How does your project relate to our CSI Graduate Portfolio?The graduate portfolio is made to not only sum up all the hard work my fellow students and I have done throughout the year but to also prepare us to become Culturally Aware, Aware of World Events and Global Dynamics, and much more. The earthquake that hit Haiti opened my eyes to see that I am so lucky to live in a world where i have everything i need to keep me safe. From the men and women in the army to the newest technologies of medicine, I am always protected. Other people out there don't even have the supplies to live let alone heal the sick when disasters like this happen. Now I am aware that i need to lend a hand.

Graduate Portfolio Reflection- Story 1

Making my first digital story opened my eyes to new and fascinating things. I learned many things from doing this project. Not only did I grow stronger in my knowledge of computers and working with I-movie, but I have also focused on becoming more of a "21st Century Thinker." Although my first project was about technology while creating it i realized how much change has come from our generation. In this generation, Generation Y, the world has been impacted by technology in both positive and negative way. Technology has advanced this world in ways i cannot even explain. With the technology in this world we are saving lives, but there is a downfall to everything at times. People around this world not only in our country but as well as others; people are taking this technology that was made for good o turn to evil. I have realized that there are so many important things in this world we need to be aware of and being more culturally aware of these things will help me become a better person now and in the future! 

Digitales Evaluation

The video i felt was the most globally competent is called, "They were the children of our world," by Megan Clements. She is a 10th grader in Illinois and recorded her voice on a PowerPoint presentation. This video like many others is most globally competent because it reaches many aspects of the graduate profile we are creating. Her presentation speaks of what the Holocaust did to children all over the world. She describes the importance of what the Holocaust had on the lives of children and the suffrage they went through. Her presentation teaches others about our History and our World.

My first digital story

Digital Story Script 1

_{Our generation today in the 21st century focuses greatly on two major things. Those two things are change and advancements in technology. There is so many new  gadgets and electronics people discover everyday to advance our generation. The most common device that our generation uses today is the computer. The computer is available for people to research, communicate, blog, and learn. If you ever needed to find information or facts the Internet will have it. There are many different types of Internet systems the world uses to find information, play games, or communicate. Some of those systems are Internet Explorer, Safari, AOL, etc. The computer comes in all different shapes and sizes. Cellphones are also very important to teens ad adults today. They able you to talk to friends, family, and associates from all over the world. Cellphones play a big part in communication in our generation. One technology that gives the world entertainment and news is the television. The statistics of watching television is increasing daily because it is such an addictive technology that people love. You can watch shows, news, play games, read articles, listen to radio stations, and look at pictures.  The technology in of our generation is growing and advancing everyday from the people who discover it. Thanks to those people our lives can run more easily.} 

    Our generation today focuses on change and making change for people's lives. Today many people and orginizations focus on helping people who are disabled or people who are in need. People want to chang peoples llives for the better and they are doing that everday with hard work and dedication. 

    _{People would not believe how much our generation is different from those of prior ones. Our technology is very different from what our parents and grandparents grew up with. We are so lucky to have the things we have today. Many years ago people did not have the pleasure of finding information about anything on the Internet or being entertained for hours and hours by watching a little box. People from prior generations were not able to listen to music on computers, download songs or images, and could not communicate with wireless technology. Not only has technology changed by the way it is used but its physical appearance has also changed. The television used to be a small box that you had to get up from the couch to change. Now, in our generation, television screens can be the size of houses and we can use the remote control to change the channel and it takes no effort. From listening to music on ipods to watching the hottest news on the internet, we live much comfortable lives because of the advancements and change our generation is apart of.}
