February 4th

Hello and welcome back!

I hope that you all had a good weekend. Today we are going to do the following:

PART I

The first thing I would like you to go is to open up your survey form from last class and analyze the data. I am going to demonstrate how to create a chart out of your data and I would like you to create 3 charts in your google form and post these to your blog. I've posted an example below. Once you create three charts, I'd like you to answer the following questions:

Were these results what you expected? Why or why not?

In general, do you think using technology as a means of communication has a positive, negative, or neutral impact of relationships/community. Consider this and support your answer with reasons/ examples and a minimum of 5 sentences.


PART II

I'd like you to go to the following site and look at this information about internet usage in Canada.

1. Go to the Internet Growth Statistics page, and follow the links to find data about Canada.
    - HINT: Click on "World" and drill down from there.

• What percentage of the Canadian Population is online?


• What percentage of user growth was there between 2000 - 2008?
     
  2. Read the article about Canadians Online from the Toronto Sun. (Although I am not a fan of the Sun and it's legitimacy at times, it is a good article none the less).
  
  
• How do Canadians rank in their 'Net usage? According to the author, what is the reason for this?
• How much more time are Canadians spending on social networking sites? What are the top three sites?

• What are the top three web browsers?
