The Internet is Beautiful
The idea for the Internet was born from the launch of the Russian Sputnik satellite in 1957. The US government was worried that the then Soviet Union possessed superior technology capability and could potentially strike the US with a nuclear missile. So it began to prepare for the consequence. The Internet essentially began as way to communicate if part of the country was destroyed.
In 1969 the technology was advanced enough to begin testing it at universities and the first successful test was completed between the UCLA and Stamford campuses in California.
It wasn't until around 1991 that the Internet was introduced for individual and commercial purposes.
Today we see more an more users clustered around the same sites. Facebook, Google, Apple and Amazon collectively consume most of our attention and that's sad because there is so much more to it.
For this post I want you to visit this site: https://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/ and as part of Digital Literacy find a website that you think would help you learn in one of your classes. Explore the website for a while and write a brief description of how you think it will benefit you and your classmates.
Example: I found a map that might help me learn Geography and Social Studies. https://worldmap.harvard.edu/maps/5565. This map helps me identify ancient civilizations in a more precise way than the maps in our book. You can also overlay other options on the map by checking the boxes on the left hand sidebar.

I found a map that will help me compare the sizes of different parts of the world. http://mapfrappe.com/. This map helps me examine the size of different continents in a more detailed way.
ReplyDeleteCurrently in Biology, we are learning about fossils and how they are classified. This website https://paleobiodb.org/navigator/ helps me see where there was dinosaurs or other animals. With this information, it can help us learn where we can find fossils of different animals. When you are on this website, when you click an animal, the website shows you the map of the world.On the map here will be colored dots an that is where your animals lived and where you could probably fond their fossils. This will help my classmates understand fossils and where they could be found.
ReplyDeleteI was looking and I found a cool map. This map will help you see and estimate how big each state really is. https://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/comments/9appw9/mapfrappe_a_website_that_lets_you_compare_sizes/

The website i found relates to history that can help me learn more in dept about what i learned about the past earth and it could also help others with study with their classes. http://timelineofearth.com/. This website gives information about how the earth started, for when the first water was discovered to billions of years after that. It starts from 4.60 billion years of information up to today.
ReplyDeletecurrently in history we are learning global history, and i found a map that helps us visualize all the country's and the territories and it describes the civilizations and explains it to you. worldmap.harvard.edu/maps/5...
ReplyDeleteI had found a site that might help with our French/Spanish/Latin classes. https://localingual.com
ReplyDeleteThis could help you if you're struggling in those classes. You can also do it for fun and learn about different countries. It helps you listen to the voices of the world which I think it could help us learn different languages If you point over the country it will tell you what language they speak.
When I was looking for a website, I found one that shows evolution and shows which era with their names and each organism and what time they were alive this site is called ,http://timelineofearth.com/

ReplyDeleteI think this can help me in life and in class. It made me think of all the animals that can be endangered in the world.
ReplyDeleteI found this website that can help me with my writing and grammar skills. https://wordcounttools.com. Writing and grammar is a very important subject in school for kids. Grammar help us to create sentences that makes sense to the reader so they can understand what we are trying to say. With grammar it helps us develop our writing skills by turning letters into words, words into sentences. Then with it into writing with sentences into paragraphs, and paragraphs into essay. This website can help correct my error that I have made and show me what I have done wrong so I can improve. When we go up a grade the work gets harder. Writing and grammar are the two subject that kids most struggle with so this website will be very helpful to kids. This will be very helpful so kids can express themselves perfectly.
ReplyDeleteIn Reddit i found a website called, https://resourcetrade.earth/. This site gives me a map of the world's trade routes. This can help me in my global studies class because it will allow me to visualize the information/facts that is being taught to me in class.
ReplyDeleteWhile looking at these websites, I found an interesting one called Timeline Earth. Timeline Earth is a website that shows species of the future and the past. I never realized that the earth could be so fascinating.
ReplyDeleteWebsite: http://timelineofearth.com/
https://worldmap.harvard.edu/maps/5565 I found this useful because it will help you see different civilizations and see history like trade routes and majors cities it has a lot of information that helps because it will also show river and CE. And you chose your base maps to help you see the points of view. It will show you landmarks. For classmates it will be useful for global studies and etc.
ReplyDeleteWhile I was searching through websites, I stumbled upon a wonderful site about the earths timeline. This not only helped me with my two major subjects ( biology and global ) but it taught me a lot I never knew. Obviously, I knew the earth full of many interesting details but i never knew i could learn about so many in one click of a button. The website took me through the earth evolution from dinosaurs becoming extinct to the first human's stepping foot on the earth. It showed me information from 4.60 billion years ago to now too!

A really helpful website that I found was the timeline of earth its a really cool website that dates all the way to the beginning of time and shows what the first things on earth and what things evolved and what things were invented in order of the years. This could help me in biology and global because it shows the first organisms and what events and things happened through time from the beginning of earth till now.http://timelineofearth.com/
ReplyDeleteA website that I found that can be very resourceful, showing the time line ad how things evolved from the begging of time till now. http://timelineofearth.com/
ReplyDeleteThe website I found was about viruses. It showed 3D models of viruses. This is helpful to me because in Biology we are learning about cells and viruses. So far we learned viruses claim hosts. In the future this website we come in handy ... https://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/virus-explorer
