Today at St.Paul, J.Ashburn youth center we had math class we took a test in math class over fractions the test was very easy The website we took the test on was http://www.math.com/ . Every body in my math group got 100 percent on the test.
After our first break we learn how to set up an account at http://www.secondlife.org/. Second life is a virtual website where you can visit diffrent worlds and buy and sell property and talk to diffrenet people around the world like in China, Africa, and Canada. although we did'nt get to enter the virtual world we are all interested to see what it is like.
When the next break was over we learned about a website http://www.cybercareer.com/. This website showed us the diffrent things you can do in IT or information technology. We took a survey to see what position we would like to do in IT. I learned about a web developer. The web developer is the person who designs the website.

J.Ashburn youth center
During the summer of 2007 I was granted the opportunity to work at the J.Ashburn Youth Center. The program is located at the St.Paul Church 112 Jefferson rd. The Tech Corp program is there to teach youth about IT (information technology) and AT (assistance technology), as well as making sure we have math and english classes.
On Tuesday, June 27, 2007 Mr.Steve Jacobs came to our job to teach my coworkers and I about AT. He told us about how people with disabilites (deaf, blind, etc) use technology such as computers, telephones, and wristwatches. We were all interested in the different ways that the disabled were able to use technology.
Mr.Steve showed websites that the disabled used like musicovery.com, this website helps blind people learn how to make shapes by the tone that the lines make. He also showed us how the blind people can use AT with a computer that describes what is on the screen.
Mr.Steve also showed us websites like dreamlines where you type a subject and the website draws the image absractally. Another website called touchscreen.com that shows which websites orianate from which. You should join some of these websites out the are really interesting.
