Advertising

   In language class what we are learning is about advertising we are learning how people us different type of propaganda skills to make an advertisement. We watched alot of commercials and we are told to find out what are the different type of propaganda skills that are in those commercial. Most commercial we watch have mostly the same type of propaganda skills because it is require to do so.
   I think learning about these propaganda skills is really important in the future when you are doing business and you are trying to make a commercial then you know what to do to make a good commercial. So learning about how to  advertise in the real world I think is really useful in the future. I will post one of the video we watched below to show what are the type of commercial we saw.

New Sketchup

   This week in ICT what we did on sketchup is that we make a door knob and a second door. So it goes as usual where Mr.Pete will show us step by step how to create the door knob and the second door. The door knob is slightly harder to do but when Mr.Pete is teaching it step by step then it is easy to learn. I know that because the other day I try to do it myself and I can't do it because its pretty difficult to do it. The door knob look really realistic which is really cool.
    I learned that without Mr.Pete there teaching me how to make a door knob step by step it is really difficult to do it alone. Doing sketchup like I said before on other post its good to learn about it and its interesting but am I really going to use it for the future. Only if I'm a designer or something on that line. But nonetheless I still enjoy doing all these sketchup because its fun to see you making realistic things.

Internet safety: Rules for the kids

   Nowadays internet is really useful and everyone love it. In school if you have a permanent record its on your school but if you have a post or something on the internet it is permanently on that place. So what you post online is really important to what if you want the others to see it or not. For example in the document it says that if in 5th grade you having a username fatgreenwizard might be cool but when you grow up into the real world having that name will not get you a job. So it means that people need to think long-term instead of just where they are at right now.
   I think this is a very important for kids not just kids maybe even adults or teenager. We might know more than kids but the internet is still pretty dangerous depend on what are on it. If you have something that you don't want it to be said online then the best thing is to not post the thing on the internet. The reason is because what are the chances of that internet thing being online and you don't want it to be. You can't do anything about it because if you will have no control over it once something copied it somewhere. So I think this is a article where everyone who reads it is okay.

Flying Cars

   It has be proven that they can create a plane that actually can be able to fly. This machine has been tested and they said it has been around for over 3 years already but no one talks about it. It can run 400+ miles before it stop and so pretty much you can fly from New York to Boston. It is legal for people to drive or fly it around according to the street rules. As long as you have a license for driving or a pilot driving license you can drive it or fly it. They say it is easy to drive it too so its just like driving a car but now you can fly it too.
   I think this is a great invention for people for a new technology to show us people that anything is possible so I think this is great. Maybe the price will be really pricy but I bet people will still buy it if you have the money because it look really cool and you can fly it. If you don't feel like driving around or going through airport security you can use this flying car to get through all those problem. So overall this is a cool invention for human mankind.

No more Username and passwrod: OneID

   OneID is a new program create by Steve Kirsch, which he says that by using OneID it will makes it easier to log in or to buy something online. All it is is to make one click on the OneID thing and it will help you log in or buy something online. Once you click on the OneID button it will send it to your second device which could be a mobile phone. It will first be send to your second device and you will receive a code from that second device then you input that code into the active device which is the computer. This is how OneID work and how it process!
   I think this could be useful if we want to save our credit card information or something important that we use the thing. I personally think that it is a little too complicate for just to input in the username and password, I think there is too much work to do it. So personally I would not use it because it is too much work where I could do it easier with just inputting in the username and password. I know this would be a safer way to keep your information but I think it is too much work to just put in the username and password. So in my opinion it is a bad program because if I just want to keep my credit card I would use PayPal!

North Carolina Basketball

   North Carolina university also known as NCU is famous for playing basketball the reason is because the history of basketball there is one man who is very famous from that school which is Michael Jordan. NCU is really good at basketball and there rival is Duke University which is another famous basketball university. NCU and Duke had alot of good matches and I don't know who to pick because I like both. There is one player from NCU who I like which is Kendall Marshal but the thing is he is injured so he can't play for a while.
   NCU is a really good basketball team in NCAA. There alot of famous NBA star who is from NCU like Michael Jordan, Vince Carter, etc. Those player all are really good basketball player that is from NCU. The rivalry between NCU and Duke is building up because they have won some against each other and also lost some. So I think it will be fun to watch they play against each other again. I really enjoy NCAA basketball because it is really entertaining to watch.

LA Midterm

   I think I did pretty good on the test so I am not too scared of getting a low score. I wrote a 3 page and 2 sentence essay on it and I memorize all his personality and also my own. By learning others peoples' personality is a good thing to communicate with other people. It is also a great skill to learn and it will help us in the future if we do so. So I think learning these skill is good for our life.

   In the last Language art class we had we had an mid-term exam which we would have to write a 600 word essay on comparing and contrast our personality with a character from a book. The book was called a cat on  a hot tin roof, which is a play which is a corrupted family and how the family members talk to each other. Anyway we had to do a test on it and I need to write about Brick Pollitt, who is one of the main character in the book and I need to compare personality.
