This is my local area network. There are many electronics that are hooked up to the internet service that comes into the house. The internet comes in from the ISP, which is the internet service provider, and is sent to the modem. The modem send the signal to the router, and the electronics pick up the signal from the router and use the internet.

I learned that the internet is permanent, and anything you post will remain there forever, even though you delete it. I also learned how the local area network functions and what the ISP stands for (Internet Service Provider.) It was very interesting to understand how the network works, and learn about how everything is connected.

For people that need to know something about having an ISP/home network, I would tell them that they need to be careful about what they put online. That being said, I could say that they should definitely read a lot about it and ask a lot of people for advice if they need help because it's a lot of information to absorb the first time you read about it. I think they should definitely be educated in it before they get an ISP or home network.

2. Comcast, which is my I.S.P. is directly connected to the internet/World Wide Web. Then from the I.S.P. wires are coming out of it. The wires are going into the Modem which then connects to the wireless router. From the rowder a couple different things are used.The desk top, laptops, cell phones, home phones, Wii, printer, and T.V. 

3. I learned the difference between the world wide web and the internet. Also all of the different names and meanings for the machines/equipment that is connected to my home network. Such as I.S.P, modem, and router.

4.Make sure all of the wires are connected correctly. Also make sure you know the important things about having a home network and how to take care of it properly so you don't have to re buy different pieces of equipment.

1. Without looking at the chart can you name the 3 ways to ask what time it is?

Lesson Part 2

Now do you remember numbers #1-12

Lets review them 

Spanish	English
unos	1
dos	2
tres	3
cuatro	4
cinco	5
seis	6
siete	7
ocho	8
nueve	9
diez	10
once	11
doce	12

Ok know you remember the numbers 

So lets move on to time.

Spanish	English	Endings
Es lan una	It’s 1:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las dos	It’s 2:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las tres	It’s 3:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las cuarto	It’s 4:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las cinco	It’s 5:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las seis	It’s 6:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las siete	It’s 7:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las ocho	It’s 8:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las nueve	It’s 9:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las diez	It’s 10:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las doce	It’s 11:00	en punto (on the dot)
Es lan medianoche	It’s Midnight

Part 3

Endings 

...de la mañana ( in the mourning)

...de la tarde ( in the afternoon)

...de la noche (in the evening)

... y cuarto (quarter after)

... menos cuarto (quarter of)

...y media (half past)

... en punto (on the dot) when you use this its only when you have :00 

When you want to add 0:__ you put a y after you did son las or es lan 

Example: 0 y __

When you want to make it easier you menos it which means minus

Example: 0 menos __

LessonPart 4 

Adding 0:__ the blank. 

So lets just say you had 2:30AM.

You would solve that by putting all the components together.

So it would be Son las dos y media de la mañana.

Lets try another one a little harder.

7:55PM

You would solve that by adding son las or es lan in this case it would be Son las and since we are subtracting it so it would be ocho.

So all together it would be...

Son las ocho menos cinco de la noche

Lesson 1

Here's a video of 2 kids meeting each other on the bus-

2. To connect to the internet at home I use my phone and my laptop.
3. I learned about everything in my home and how my internet is connected I never payed much attention to it before, I learned about my own ISP, and a general understanding of the subject
4. I would tell other people that it costs alot to maintain having a home network, but it is very important so having internet is worth the deal, all depending on the customers service provider.

(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).
https://vimeo.com/52655852

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.

This is ment for some who is trying to figure out there friends birthday. 
Below is the chart is a chart to teach you all the Months in a year and the dates. 
Example-  

 English- My birthday is June 24 
 Spanish- Mi cumpleaños es junio de veinte y cuatro 

Chart of months: found at http://www.montessoriforeveryone.com/Spanish-Days-Months-and-Seasons-_p_291.html
Chart of dates: http://jmelendezsla.blogspot.com/2010/10/months-and-dates-in-spanish.html
*Please note 
31 is Treint y uno
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!
