Google world wide web continued

After blogging about how advanced google is I decided to resurch more into there doodles that appear on there home screen which has become an icon of the internet.i came across another interactive one which I have uploaded on to my blogg on a Video gadget.
It is amazing how google are so big and tecniqual.
When I think of web 2.0 I think of google. What does everyone else think of?

Did you know that the word google is in some dictionaries as it is now reconised as I verb.

Questions Imergin from my training/practise..... Task 2D

I want to teach children with disabilities but trying to find a job in a school is hard...even though we're out of this resection jobs are still at risk and job cuts are still happening so there is a lack of jobs.
When will jobs stop being affected?

Looks are important when auditioning. How often should we update our portfolio?

Web 2.0 is always growing and google is very advanced how much growing does it have left though?

Reflecting is important but can you actually learn something new every day?

Journal writing experience

Since blogging about the penguins and uploading the Vidio to my blogg, I wrote in my journal and reflected on how knolagable I am on web 2.0.
I wrote about the method I use when I do something new on the web. For example When loading the Vidio of the penguins onto my blogg. At first I didn't know how to load it on, I like to play around and look through things and work it out my self. From this I can see that in Kolb's learning circle I fall into the category "concert experience" ( doing/ having experience).
Once I loaded the gadget of YouTube Vidio on my blogg I didn't know how to change the Vidio to the one I wanted to show. So I reflected on what I had just done and the process I had taken. I reviewed how I loaded it and what options I picked. After reviewing what I had done I figured out what I needed to do to adapt the option given to gain what I wanted to show.
From doing this I also fall into the category " reflective observation " (reviewing/reflecting on experience.)

Kolb's learning cycle makes you more knolagable on the way you learn and how you reflect on the things you do.



 
I feel that because I do things the way I do I am more knolagable on web 2.0 than I relies.

Everyone is Is different and learn things in different ways. Don't mean your wrong.

Journal entry .... Google world wide web

Google holds everything you need and is the main search engine.
What ever you search it will come up with at least one thing.
Google change there header(or google doodle as they call it) quiet a lot sometimes they relate it to the day that it is.
Todays one just showed how technologically advanced google is compared to other search engines such as ask it was a integrative header there were tasks to complete. Was definitely the best one I've seen yet. There have been so many different headers.

Here is the link Below to access a page showing today's google header/logo
What do you think about google and how technologically advanced they are?
Is google the world wide web?

Reflection on 'do our lives evolve around the web to much?"

After writing the journal for about 5 weeks know I decided to look back through it and see if there was any patterns.
The one thing I noticed was that for my everyday life as a dancer trying to gain employment I use the web a lot to find auditions, resurch for jobs and auditions and for information. I looked. Back and reflected on my blog 'do our lives evolve around the web to much?" and relished that we actually don't rely on it we use it for our advantage to help us get jobs.
If we didn't have the web would we actually be able to get all this resurch and information?
The library's are only so big!

Nerves at the ready. Hair modelling and contacts ..(task 3)

I decided to do hair modelling for the first time. I was hair modelling for a hairdresser called Stacey Broughton who is very famous in the hairdressing world. He had two other models befor me. I was so nervous. Befor hand I had used google to look up his latest work and what he had been doing. I think this made me more nervous as his latest thing was 'cropping'.
It made me so nervous waiting as I was the last one used.
I was quiet lucky as I had another hairdresser as well as Stacey that I knew already through my dad being a hairdresser so I was quiet happy.
As I sat in the chair my nerves disappeared and I sat back and relaxed and let them literally chop away. Befor I had a long A lined bob, but know I have very short hair.
I really enjoyed the experience and I am so happy with my hair.
I shall get pictures up on flicker once I can get hold of digital ones.
In this intersty it is about who you know.
I spoke to the Paul Mitchell rep (who is one of my dads good friends)about doing hair modelling for his company when they need people. He was passing on my information to the person who deals with it all.
Everyone has contacts you just have to use them tactically and do your resurch.
Is there anyone you knew that has helped you gain contacts in the intersty?

Journal entry .... Lesson learnt

I was looking through my journal and reflecting on what i had done that week and what i had learnt about myself and actions i took. One thing that i had learnt was that Its all about survival in life no matter what species you are! I had thought of this after watching a documentary about penguins and deciding that even if your a dancer, actor, artist, hairdresser or even a shop owner. You have to be good at what you do and perform to the highest standard and fight for survival. I realised this and reflected on this after an audition a few days after which didn't go well. There are so many people that want the same thing and you have to fight for survival otherwise your cut!
I have found that looking back over my journal I reflect more on what I have done and what I have learn from it. I feel that I am more knolagable about things going on around me.

What things have you learnt about yourself or even about things that you have done?

Hair modelling for the first time :/

Today I'm hair modelling for Stacey Broughton who in the hairdressing world is famous. It's for one of his training sessions which is being held at FX hair studios. Waiting to be used is the most nerv racking thing I have done. Unsure what is going to happen to my hair but that is what comes with being a hair model you have to let the hairdresser do what he or she wants to do in able to show there full potential.
Nervous! I'll blogg after about how it went.
