These terms are from the 2008 Jamboree session on technology. And if you want more terms be sure to click here. There was so much available Bonnie didn't have time to get through them all. So we will test your knowledge in a couple of posts:
Applet A software component that runs in the content of another program. A small application like a web caculator or a text editor. Windows media player is one....
Asynchronous Learning: An online classroom but one not in real time. It is not connected to a teaching human at the other end, but is rather a tutorial, like web junction. You take these 'classes' on your own time and at your own speed, by yourself.
Avatar: a 'cute' image of your alter ego when you're online in IM or 2nd Life.
Bandwidth: The maximum amount of data that can flow throgh a communication path at any given time. It speaks to the speed of your internet connection if you look at it as a garden hose.
DRM: Digital Rights Management. It is the transferring to other medi functionality after its been downloaded; like downloading a book from Wilbor to Media Player to your MP3 player.
Emoticons: The smiley faces used to express feelings when you are using IM or emailing someone.
FAQ: Frequently asked Questions. As in the NW FAQ page about Wilbor.
VOIP: Voice over internet protocol. Your computer receives voice transmission from another connected computer, not a long distance phone call. Skype is an example.
