Browser Comparisons

I have been doing a little research on browsers. I will be honest and say that I cannot tell the difference when I am searching. I don't think that I am computer savvy enough to make any concrete comparisons. I have used several different browsers; Google, Safari, Firefox, Explorer. Personally, I like Safari but mostly because it has come installed on my Mac and for that reason it is the most accessible.

As I continue to do my research I have found some interesting information. Apparently Safari is a memory hog. I know that this can cause a computer to slow down. I have yet to see any implication of this on my computer. The best security is under Firefox. I don't really know why but I do know that it is important to keep a tight security on your browser. Especially in this day and age, I do all of my bill paying and sales online. The downside of Firefox is that because it has such drastic security measures, it causes you to sign in every time on all of your frequented websites.

The one thing that is nice about Firefox is that when searching a website, it is very easy to find words that you are looking for.

Crazy Week

What a week it has been! I am starting to realize that the semester is coming to a close and I have a million things that I need to accomplish before I graduate. Yes, I am graduating at the end of the semester and I am totally freaked out by all of it.

When will I find the time to finish all of this homework? What am I going to do after a graduate?!? When am I going to finish my final lesson plans?

The one set of news that I can share is that I am one step closer to getting my certification! I took two of the three tests this past weekend. I think I did ok although I don't know for sure. I never do well in those situations. I can always narrow it down to 2 answers and then my brain gets all fuzzy and I get all freaked out. All I can say is that I will have a better answer for you in about three to four weeks...Fingers crossed!!!

Group Project

Our group met this week and we started working on our final project for class. I think things went very well. We quickly decided to create a website/blog that could be used for students to have up to date information regarding rehearsals. This is something that I have done for my own students but it will be exciting to see how my classmates can teach me how to create a really exciting, interactive site. I don't want to say to much more because it is just in the beginning stages. We shall see...

Additions To My Blog

Check out all of the new things I have added to my blog. You can read the blogs of teammates and I added a picture from an afternoon in Socrates Sculpture Park. Cheers!

Feeling Sick

It has been a while since I blogged because I have been awfully sick. I blame it on the time I had to spend in a medical clinic getting a flu shot. I goes it was my own fault since I didn't have to get a flu shot but it seems like a necessity when you teach in the schools. I am feeling much better now but still fighting off this darn cold. The coughing is incessant and doesn't seem to go away. I met with my tech project group this evening and I will fill you in on all the details tomorrow. For now, I am going to bed. Wednesday is my longest day of the week...17 hour day, here we come...
