Case Studies

I though most of the group presentation today delt with technology in today's world and privacy issues. The only ones that didn't real fit that title were the librarian as a keystone species, and the one about the gardener. I was alittle lost on the librarian one because i felt that most of the conent was lost in the video aspect of the presentation. I also wasnt too sure about the gardener presentation, because i felt they didn't describe exactly what type of gardener they were talking about up-front. The other presentation delt with privacy of computer use of students, privacy with rooms of a job, and when is too much freedom too much.

After these presentations today i have a better understanding of what is expected of our iundividual projects and what else i need to focus on my research. I now better understand the keystone species and location. The keystone species is what is present to allow all of this stuff to take place. I also learned that locality is the objects within the ecology and how they are used based on the topic of your ecology. The computers used in the video servalenced operating room would be different from those kids that loved playing "Pueblo" and again different from the hi-tech school where the photo-shopped class was taking place.

Overall i enjoyed learning from most of the presentations today, i just found a couple of them hard to follow as the group presented based on thier choice of presentation style.
