My Class

         I am in Mr. Porfido's seventh period Web 2.0 class. This year i expected to learn more about computers and technology. So far we have learned how to set up a blog and how to post on it. Mr.Porfido has a simple grading policy. It is 40% formal assessments, 40% projects, 10% homework, and 10% class participation. Every Friday we have homework due on our blogs. we have to find an article about technology and summarize it.
         In this class we use portable computers. We use this technology everyday in class to go on our blogs and learn more about the computers. since we have not been in this class very long I don't know much about any projects we are going to do or any field trips we might go on. 
         My favorite thing about this class so far is being able to use the laptops. I want to be able to do a fun project with my friends. I remember doing one last time i had this class and it was really fun to make. I would also enjoy going on a field trip.

Smartphones Might Replace Hotel Keys

Starwood Hotels and Resorts in New York City and Cupertino, California plan to make hotel room keys virtual. They plan to debut the app in about two or three months. The app will be compatible with recent iPhone models including the 4s and newer androids. By using Bluetooth you will be able to enter your room with a simple tap.
