Tech Task 6

I used mindmeister to create mind maps because we used this app in the first ICT but never did anything with it. So I broke my connections down into four categories in which I listed the website or apps that I use. I probably could have made a few more categories but I didn't want the picture to be cluttered.
The second assignment was to create a mind map for the 21st century and I also broke this down to 4 categories and labeled them with numbers. I think what students do most now is connect and interact that is why it is number 1 on my mind map. Kids are using Snapchat and Twitter which connect more to people around the world then Facebook. These apps are made more to interact with each other where I find Facebook as a more advanced blog and photo album. We use Facebook to find information out on people or creep where as the other two apps we use to message or interact.

I find Students are more creative and have competition when you give the students a chance to use technology. Students will look up tutorials videos or Google how to change a back ground or add videos into their projects. Whereas the old student would have just used notes or poster board or a plain PowerPoint. Now students are looking to get a more advanced PowerPoint by adding pictures/videos or using Slideshare or Prezi.
