Week 2

Hi 23-Thingers,

I hope you had a great easter and are not suffering Monday-itis on a Tuesday.
I had a nice break with some family friends out on Moreton Bay.

A couple of [relevant technology] things which struck me:
  • OMG! out of cellular (mobile) range... No FaceBook?! No online newspaper? O_O....
  • Wow mobile devices lose their charge quickly - especially when you're playing games or reading an eBook on your iPad
  • My iPhone camera is nowhere near ready to make digital cameras extinct as some technological pundits may suggest

SO - on to this week's tasks... all things Google.

Google had basically become the default way to find things on the Internet. They have branched out into a lot of other successes including GoogleMaps and YouTube. Their most recent foray is into Social Networking with the Google+ social network.

Google is an important established technology unbrella that our students utilise heavily. I hope you enjoy your investigations.

Jake =)
