Project 6

For this project i wanted to see how other colleges used technology and if they used it at all, so i contacted my cousin who goes to Texas A&M. I started off by facebook messaging him and asking if he minded it i asked him some questions, and explained the assignment. When he messaged me back saying no problem i let the questions roll. I first asked him if they used technology and if they did what they used. Well, he never messaged me back so i decided to ask him in person over the thanksgiving break. He told me that they use the normal PowerPoint for every class, and that they have a system like our USA online. He said that it is their own system in which they can go and print out their PowerPoint slides for class, get grades that are posted, and email their teachers. It seems like they have everything we do, not that much, just the basics. However, that is just with his classes, so they could have more, its just a matter of what classes you take, just like here at South Alabama.

It was cool to see that they have the same stuff we do but at the same time i figured they would have more technology seeing that they have a larger student population.
