Technology Blog #2

For this second technology blog I want to focus on the the first Smackdown presentations that we had.There were many presentations and I learned about so many websites that I could utilize as a teacher or just in my normal daily life. From the presentation of Google Drive that Leke and I presented on to iflscience, these websites are a wonderful starting point for each Student within this class. Like I mentioned in my presentation , I utilize Google Drive frequently because I can't keep up with losing flashdrives and having all of my data just wiped away. I hope from our Google Drive presentations, people utilize Google a lot more in their daily lives to refrain being from losing that presentation last minute and having to explain that to the professor (trust me, I've seen it multiple times in class).
Another website that stuck out to me was mytripjournal.com . Since my girlfriend loves to travel, I assume that I will have to love to travel too in the near future. She's been to 11 countries and counting. Tennessee is the only trip on my resume. I asked her to utilize that website so she can track her traveling and get even more of an experience out of it. 
In addition to traveling, I do have a thing for science and iflscience.com also caught my attention. During his presentation, Brett mentioned that he liked aquatic animals and so do I. I scrolled through the website over the weekend and discovered so many articles. I read two articles. One was about how eating fish can lower depression and the other article was about fish being smarter than we think. Both articles intrigued me because we are constantly making leaps and bounds in the name of science and I'm gaining more knowledge about the fish, of course.  Overall, I enjoyed our Smackdown presentations and I cannot wait to see whats in store for our next Smackdown.
