App for that!!!

The app that I would think would be my favorite Is the app called flip it. I would choose this app because this app is very conveinent for the iPad. This app contains as many pages as you would like, and it can include anything you would like, whether it's facebook or twitter. I like this particular app due to the fact that you don't have to go on the Internet and search for facebook and twitter you can simply go on the app and all your information is there without the hassle of searching. You can flip threw the pages and all your preferences are right there. If you ever choose to get the iPad I would highly advise you to choose the flip it app!

Digital Footprints

Students are taught that digital footprints are just trails for bullies and sexual predators.  Scare tactics for digital footprints have a effect on student behavior, and the schools don't teach the students on the bad things that can happen involved with footprints. Such as an approach to Internet safety for the more targeted students online. The goods in computers are that, the computer can be used for a lot of good educational purposes, whether its talking to there friends about the school work. Students who see the computer as a good way of learning is unlikely, and if we try it, it is very risky, and is hard to see how students will handle it. It is also likely that if we let students try it, they say it is an encouragement to Digital Footprints and that would let them effect there true emotions on the Digital Footprints. I think that only a few percent use digital footprints as a bad source and that the teachers should trust us students more to be able to use computers in school and give us a chance to show that we are more mature than they think.

As if i were describing what each part of the school looks like. My 6 to 10 pictures would just be a tour, a brochure of bhs.

iPad set to replace restaurant menus and reduce staff

Ipads are set to replace staff and menus in restaurants.  Restaurants have decided to come up with the idea to use ipads as menus so customers can look and order there food right there at the table without a waiter, that will reduce jobs at the restaurants. The first restaurant to do this will be in southern California in May with two more restaurants to follow. The ipad will sit on the table in a case therefore allowing customers to look at the menu, pick what they want, and also pick what toppings you will want on your burgers, salads, and pizzas. They can select what type of meat and buns they will want by clicking and dragging on the ipad. When people are done choosing what they want there will be a screen that shows what everyone has ordered. The ipads also allow access to pay for your meal right there at your table. They say they were going to use laptops as the ipads haven’t came out yet when they were thinking of the idea so once the ipads came out they said it was a major breakthrough. They don’t want to make or call the restaurant the ipad restaurant they want it to be a normal restaurant just with the high tech way of ipads as their menus. They say if anyone would decide to steal the ipad at the table it has an alarm system that will go off as soon as it is located outside of the store the sound makes a similar sound as if someone was stealing something from a regular store. They say the ipads are also being used in different situations such as in New York plazas like concierge experience as well as in grand central terminals, used as a cash register. They say that as these ideas come to mind that the ipads will become more widespread in these specific situations.
