Peer Review

I marked this Blog: http://wiegerraveneism.blogspot.com/ .The strength in his blog was that he added a lot of information and details and examples in his last post, for his Animoto Video he has pictures of his hobbies and it had a nice design. He needs to improve by writing an about me paragraph, add a pictures of something he likes as a profile picture and add the post that is missing.

Investigating different Software Options

HTML: Good, advantages are headings are written you just have to fill it in, this way you are organized in writing something; disadvantages are you can’t change font/color/size which makes it boring.

Dreamweaver: advantages are it has the extra functions, available for both Mac and Windows operating systems. Disadvantages are Confusing Interface, Lack of Code and Hard Drive Space

FrontPage: it’s better than HTML because it’s the same where you organize the structure of the writing and extra you can change size/color/font/edit/insert and all those features.

I think the most suitable software to use is Dreamweaver.

Advantage of a digital portfolio is an online portfolio proves that the student is proficient with technology; it leaves the paper trail behind so online portfolios do not have the bulk, and it is easier to share with others.

Disadvantage of a digital portfolio is that if anyone has any questions about it, it is inconvenient not to be able to talk to the student right then. Also security is an issue with online portfolios.

Communication and the Internet part 2

Communication is very important in emergencies such as natural disasters. By communicating millions of people's lives can be saved. Not only that, medical supplies and other necessities can be sent from other countries to help the horrible situation.

Many different techniques of communication were used during Hurricane Katrina and Asian Tsunami. Ham operators were one of the ways that helped to communicate in hurricane Katrina using voice, computers, televisions and Morse codes. Some hams bounce their signals off the upper regions of the atmosphere, so they can talk with hams on the other side of the world; others use satellites. Many use short-range, handheld radios that fit in their pockets. Cellphones were a vital aid in communicating to get help. Families were able to text or call friends or other relatives in different parts of the world to get help. If they were to try to call the police the system would probably be overloaded. There are still many other sorts of communication used in now a day natural disaster.

The essential information needs to be communicated during a disaster or emergency are:

- The type of emergency, the affected areas and populations and the emergency likely progress.

- It's impact on health.

-The immediate impact on health services

- The extent of damage to other areas similar to health operations

During a natural disaster you can make precautions before it happens. For example, if there is a hurricane or tornado, you can get underground in a shelter to avoid the disaster. The tornado can't blow away an underground shelter. Even if you do this, you must take supplies like water and foods for this as you do not want to be stuck underground without any food or water and starve.

Stated down below are the hardwires and soft wares required to communicating online:

Hardwires:

-monitor

-mouse

-keyboard

-CD-ROMs

SOFTWARE:

-WEB BROWSER

-SAFARI
