Web Browsers

To be honest, I really did not know what a web browser was until this class. The only web browser I actively use or have used is Internet Explorer. I was not aware that Moxilla FireFox or Safari were web browsers. I find them useful since you have to have them to browse the internet. Web browsers help you find the sites that you are not sure of the name of the actual website. I currently use many addons, such as popup blockers, which is required by Blackboard. My experience with addons is pretty neutral. I am leary of some addons because you don't know if they contain a virus or something else that may harm your computer. Other addons are for the most part, cooperative. Most of them work smoothly and others either take a lot of time to install or make my computer function slowly. This activity matches starnard A:promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. It also matches starndard C: promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. This activity matchs standards A and C because it helps them learn more being creative and to be inventive. Also, it help promote student reflection by having them reflect what they have learned by using collaborative tools to show their creative process.
