(Explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection.)

There are two laptops in my network; one MacBook Pro (mine) and one Acer laptop (my sister's). There is also an Apple TV that stays in the living room along with the Wii. My dad uses a Dell desktop too.

(Reflect on what you learned about networks, did you have an OMG moment that you learned something new and interesting? if now write about what you learned.)

I learned that my network is extremely confusing and very expensive. I also realized that internet is not just some magical data, but  actually a complicated system.

(What would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network?)

I would tell them that they need to make sure they understand how to hook up their network and also that internet is extremely costly.

If you ever need to ask someone or tell some one who speaks spanish or if you just want to learn here is a quick way to learn to say the weather in spanish.

A few quick notes (the flash card should be at the top)
Hace is for sol, viento, frio, calor, and fresco.
Esta' is for nevando, nublado, and lloviede.

Easy ways to remember the words

frio' sounds like Freezing

calor sounds like calefacion

sol sounds like solar

viento sounds like vent

hu'medo=humid

Here is a video about speaking telling the weather in spanish.

I have many devices on my L.A.N. I have devices such as printers, phones, monitors, and gaming consoles. I learned a lot of information on networks. I, myself am not technologically savvy so, I got a lot of useful information from this. I had no clue that so many of my devices were connected to two things, a modem and router. Another thing that I learned was that the internet is the base of everything, network related. The thing I would tell people about having an I.S.P./Home Network is that the system is much more complex that you think. My view on the internet and how it work was nothing compared to what it actually was. 

For everyone who wants to know how to speak some spanish here is a guide to helping you ask questions about the months and answer them all in spanish

One way I memorized this is part of a song (I think). It goes like this.

Enero, febrero, marzo y abril
Mayo, junio y julio estàn aquie
agosto y septiembre
octubre y noviembre 
Su nombre es diciembre

It's very helpful when you forget how to prononce the months (which I do a lot). Anyway I hope this is helpful.
Here is a video about how it helps you in everyday life as part of my school project.
(Note: Viemo got hit by Sandy so it's taking a while to upload).

1) I use my laptop and phone to connect to the internet. 
2)I learned about how the actual internet connects, and that it is more than just my router. I never even cared or payed attention about how things that I use daily actual work. The main thing that I learned and found interests in was my ISP, which is connected with comcast.  
3)I would tell them that even if it IS expensive to have a home network, it does help a lot. But when you do get home network, you have to make sure that all your wires are plugged in and connected in the right places.

My LAN is consisted of three iPhones, three laptops, a Wii, and a Blu-Ray player. I didn't learn much that is new, because I knew a lot about networks beforehand. If you want to set up a network, make sure your router both has an ethernet out and a wireless broadcaster. The ethernet is faster than the Wi•Fi, but it's a cord and needs to be wired to each computer. For computers on the same floor as the router, ethernet would be helpful.

When you are in a new and strange environment and your'e pressed for time it can be difficult. In this lesson you will learn on how to ask what time it is  and how to know what someone's response would be. The chart below has been made so that you can try to learn how to say the times in Spanish. (note: when you say menos cuatro you must say the hour that is after the time, EX: 5:45= Son las seis menos cuatro). Below is a video demonstrating a real life situation of a student in a new school asking when to change times.

Below is a video on how two friends ask each other when there birthday is so they will  know when they should get them a a present. 

The difference between tú and usted is that Tú is informal (for talking to your friends) and Usted is formal (for talking to an adult). 

- the way you use the words can change the whole meaning of the sentence

• you dont always have to say tú or usted after you ask a question
• you only have to say it when the word is not in parenthesis 

These are some examples of how to use the words

click here for a real life situation of how to use tu vs usted.  

This picture explains the months. Just double check your spelling for the months, and the accents.
Also, a very important rule for las mesas: Make sure you don't capitalize any of the letters in the month's names.

For example:
May = mayo
June = junio

See? NO capitals!!

Other than that just have fun and memorize your months!

​When being polite in spanish, there are a lot of things to remember
There are three ways to say excuse me in Español: Disculpe, perdon, and con permiso. They all mean different things, as well. 
There are three ways to say thank you: Gracías, muchas gracías, and muy amable gracías. 
Finally, there are three ways to say you're welcome: De nada, por nada, and no hay de qué

  My Internet service provider is comcast. My modem is connected to comcast and then my router. There are many electronic devices connected to my router. I have laptops, phones, and television connected to it. I also have a airport express connected from the router and that connects my printer. 

   Something that I learned was if a document, picture, video, etc. leaves your hard drive, it is no longer yours. Also, I found out that something that you post on a website or somewhere on the internet can be taken offensively. That happens at times because you can't see that they're joking around or one could just interpret it in a different way than you meant to say. 

    I would tell other people that they should know more about how the internet works and as well as information about the ISP. Also, it is quite expensive so I would warn them to choose the right price amount to not to be so worried about the price.

I have a TV, multiple laptops, multiple phones, multiple ipads, multiple ipods, Printer, and a Xbox 360 . I learned that networks are much more complicated than most people think. There is much more work and process that goes on to give us our internet. I feel networks are more boring and confusing after learning all of this. If I were to tell someone something important about having a home network would tell people that it costs money but its very important so its worth the cash.

Imagine you are taking a trip to a Spanish speaking country, and you trying to figure out what to wear. But you can not understand what the weather person is saying. If you are trying to figure how to say simple weather then look at the chart below:
Example- 
English- Its raining 
Spanish- Está lloviendo

Below is a video on how a weather man predicts the weather in a spanish speaking country.

This video will be showing a girl in Mexico meeting one of her professors for the first time. She asks some questions using Udsted. 

I get my internet through cable, which uses wires to connetto peoples homes. The devices in my household that are connected to the internet are the family Nintendo Wii, and P.C. My parents i-phones, and my cell phone are connected to the internet. My dad's, and my laptop a connected, along with my  i-pod touch. 

I didn't really know about how internet connection worked until know. I didn't know that it worked in multipal ways. i learned about modems and I.S.Ps. I learned more about how the internet works. I would tell how an I.S.P home network works to people who needed to know because it is important. I would explain how internet connection works.

On my local network I have the internet provided by Comcast then my iPhone, my mac, and two dells. Off of my dells we have our television and speakers. When I finally figured out what the network was and how everything connected it was a very happy moment. I felt extremely smart, people had been talking about things that I had never heard about when when I finally got it I felt smart. You should be careful about how much you have hooked up because it will slow down your internet speed. 

Polite, August, home network



-This is a diagram of my L.A.N. network (local area network) is provided by verizon, but not FIOS. The internet signal is channeled through my router and my wireless apple airport extreme. From there it is broadcasted to the rest of my computers including our main Imac. The Imac has a port mapping software on it that can direct data from the minecraft server  to other people.
