Too much Technology?

Everyone knows that Carroll High School got Chromebooks for educational purposes, but are they helping or hurting us? One main reason why I believe that our school got the chromebooks, was because they were cheap and we made a deal with google that if we bought so many we could get a huge discount. For anyone who would want a Chromebook I believe that they are a very sound computer for the price.

The accessibility of these computers are great. They are easy to use, and very easy to understand. Anyone with little knowledge of computers could easily work Chromebooks. I have a understanding of technology, but I didn't even have to sit down and figure out the computer like I usually do with other small electronics. So if anyone is looking for accessibility with this computer I would highly recommend it. If anyone (like my grandparents for example) would have an easier time figuring out the Chromebook than their Ipad. I would get calls all the time asking how to change settings how to get to youtube, or any site. They would very much like how accessible the Chromebook is.

If people are worried about how user friendly the Chromebook is, they shouldn't. Super user friendly! One of the best computers for people who are worried about not being able to work the computer. The chromebook was designed with a very simple concept. Everything was made to be short and sweet to get the job done. But it can also do the very heavy duty programs. It can be used for any kind of use.  The fact that the chromebook is very user friendly makes this a very sound and secure for any use.

The look of the chromebook is very professional. It is also very thin. Very easy to move around. They only problem I believe is wrong with the Chromebook is the fact that the one that I use, the backspace button pops off and gets stuck. That has happened to multiple people, but it is also a very easy fix. The Chromebook is silver with black key's. Very clean cut and everything on it looks like it has a place. Nothing seems out of place, and the look is just another advantage.

Getting the right Technique

My new app (Getting the right Technique) is for all dancers. If you have trouble knowing what your are doing wrong technically, this app could help you tremendously. This app will have all tutorials of how to do different jumps, turns, and also ways to stretch. This app will also have weekly updates on technique and different ways to improve multiple things. Every dancer has trouble learning something, but it just varies from person to person. For me it was turns. Watching different tutorials helped me so much, and I can see the improvement as I worked.
This app will be helpful for anyone who is willing to work on whatever they need. If they want to work on cool jumps, these tutorials can teach you. Also it's only $0.99! One of the main tutorials will be from Just For Kix. which you can find the link to below for an example. They will walk through step by step through the jumps, turns, and flexibility tricks.
