Tech changing how students learn

In today's classes, technology is seen everywhere. From computers for each student to the new WolfVision which is similar to the old projector but instead is a camera and shows students and teachers work on a huge projection screen which helps students see better. I personally think this technology is helping students a lot because it involves the students more and gets them participating more. One cool new piece of technology is the clickers we use here at SU. They use a radio frequency which let students in class tune into the channel for the class and participate in questionnaires and even quiz's. I think that with the new growth in the educational technology that students will greatly benefit from it and help them perform better in school.

Technology in Accounting

Accounting is one of the hardest majors offered at University's and most accounting majors end up changing majors after taking the rigorous high level accounting classes. Learning accounting is like learning a new language because the average person has no idea about filling out taxes. This makes accounting a great field to major in because theres all ways jobs open for Accountants. With the inclining use and growth of technology, now doing your taxes and filling out required documents are becoming easier for the average person.

With sites like Turbo Tax it hurts Accountants and there job versatility.

How to efficiently waste your time on the internet

I waste my time on the internet a lot so I know which websites are good or not and Stumbleupon is one of the best. The reason why I like it so much is that you enter which topics interest you the most and the random webpages that come up will fit your interests. The pages that come up when your stumbling can range from funny pictures and videos to recipes of your favorite meal.

Achieving Goals

My name's Chris DeHoff, I'm a sophomore at SU and I'm taking Information Systems 211 this semester. My major is accounting and I hope to become an accountant when I'm older.

I went to Gaithersburg high school, where I played baseball and football.

Blogging is new to me, so figuring out how to work with it will be interesting. I'm not used to sharing my personal thoughts, especially publicly and on the internet. I'm hoping to get better acclimated with Microsoft Excel and Access so that I'll be able to use it in the future after college.
