Control:
Mean-13
Median-12
Mode-12
Standard Deviation-3.5
Statistical Significance-The statistical significance of the Control group would 68% of the data laying between 8.5 and 15.5. 95% would be another standard deviation away from those boundary lines.
Visualize:
Mean-16.05
Median-17.5
Mode-19 & 20
Standard Deviation-3.75
Statistical Significance-Same with control, the 68% of the data lies between one standard deviation away from the mean on both sides. One standard deviation for Visualize is 3.75.
Pronounce:
Mean-6.26
Median-6
Mode-8
Standard Deviation-2.15
Statistical Significance-Same as the other groups, 68% of the data lies between one standard deviation of the mean.

Class Experiment Blog: Assignment 1
Groups:
Control- The control group was, in my opinion, the understanding group because it had neither experimental concepts. The experiment was to see if visual learning or pronunciation would lead to better memory, whereas just understanding it was just asking if you knew what the teacher was asking. Correct me if I am wrong, but that is what I got out of the entire experiment.
Experimental-The experimental groups were visual and pronunciation groups because they were the groups created to see which would gain the most memorization from their ordered technique.
Variable:
Independent- The independent variable in this experiment would be the type of memorization they were ordered to practice. Therefore, the independent variables would be visual, pronunciation, or understanding.
Dependent- The dependent variables, or the ones that relied on the independent variables, were the scores of the different memorization techniques.
Single or Double blind?
This was a single blind procedure because the teacher know what was going on, and about the whole experiment, yet the students had no idea what was going to happen.

Technology Use in My Future
Technology will play a huge role in my education and future. Technology changes everyday, so I've been told, and its only growing at a faster rate. By learning about technology and incorporating it into my educational criteria and activities is very important on learning how my future will be like.
Technology will not go away or die down, so it is very important and very interesting how I am one of the few classes in Wisconsin, possibly America, to use Netbooks in a classroom and having our classroom discussions over blogs. It is all very new to me. Especially considering I am NOT a tech-savy person. This is all very confusing but it is a glance at how my future discussions, classes, and life will be getting into. Like I may have stated before, I am very excited to have this opportunity to incorporate this type of technology into my everyday education!

AP psychology blog-Writing Assignment 1
Q-Explain your expectations for this course. How have they changed over the last 48 hours? How have they changed since taking the first quiz on Moodle? What are you looking forward to and/or apprehensive about? Any other pertinent information you would like to share with your peers....
My expectations for this class was learning Psychology and going farther in depth than I did for the regular Psychology class. In the last 48 hours, my expectations for this class went WAY up. I had NO idea it would be this tech savy. That quiz on Moodle was rediculous! I didn't expect it to be that hard! I do look forward to working on the netbooks and getting to learn off technology.
