Project Leviathan

A group of students from the university of sherbrooke in canada are working on a watercraft vehicle to break world records.

Project Leviathan is estimated to go at a speed of 23 miles per hour on water.

The team has spent a total of $30,000 dollars on this project.

The watercraft is controlled by a pedaling system similar to a bike

The vehicle is powered by human pedaling that drives a propeller in the water, the twin hulled-craft with two wings to gain speed.

The first test run will be in 2015.

What is an editorial? an editorial is an opinion piece. Editorials are supposed to reflect the opinion of peridical?(a magazine or newspaper published at regular intervals).                                    For example sometimes my web 2.0 teacher tells us to give the opinion on what you think of or my spanish teacher makes us say our opinion if we write a paper. It is someone writing an opinion on a topic. For example, every week in web 2.0 we do a weekly blog posting on a product ( technology based) and at the end i put a editorial a personal opinion about what i have based my blog posting about.

            Mainly all of my teachers that i have to research and write a report have told me to not use the wikipedia because it is unreliable. My teachers have informed me to stay away from it because not all of the information provided on it is reliable. For example, it can say that the civil war was in the 1934's because anyone can edit it. In my old school the english teacher did not count the work if you used information from the wikipedia.

           Do teachers allow you to use wikipedia as a source? yes, my teachers let me use it as a form of research. My teachers let me use it as a source because it is a good start. They say to get some information on it but not to base your entire paper on it because some of it can be false. Some of my teachers don't let me use it because they say it is not as reliable as other sites can be and won't grade your work if you do use it.

           After reading the article my thoughts of wikipedia has changed. It said in the article that hundred of thousands students use wikipedia and class rooms. Normally i use wikipedia but not as a reliable source but then it said in the article that over five-hundred class rooms use wikipedia printed out pages to teach their class rooms. I did not know that wikipedia can be so reliable and used so much by people, personally i thought of wikipedia as a last resort or maybe even a second option. Now that i know wikipedia is so used and ''relied'' on i will consider relying on wikipedia as a first source or a starting point in a research paper.

Google Glass

Google came up with a new wearable technology with a searching system at an expensive cost of $1500.


Memory:1GB RAM
Storage:16 GB flash total
Display:640x360 pixels 
Controller: Touchpad, My google glass ap
Camera : photos 5mp, video 720p
Besides the touchpad google glass can be controlled by using voice actions to activate google glass users tilt their head 30 degrees upward.

Personnaly, i don't like the google glass for many reasons such as its cost of over one thousand dollars and the way you activate it you have to look upward and talk randomly saying "ok glass".

Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Posting Sem Pre

Web 2.0

Class: English

The teacher i have for english is Ms. Hunter, Ms. Hunter is a nice understanding teacher that really interacts with the students. If you have a question you ask Ms. Hunter and she will happily answer the question and show you with detail what to do. She is also very forgiving and if you have a problem Ms. Hunter will help you.
  When i first stepped into the classroom and class first started i wanted to learn how to be able to write an essay that has no errors and is on task and well done. Also i wanted to learn how to read longer without getting bored to death. What i have learned so far? I have learned how to correctly format an essay but so far it isn't perfect. I hope to keep working on that in the future. Besides the summer reading we have not done a task when we had to read a book so i have not yet learned how to read without getting bored to quick and not wanting to finish the book.
           Ms. Hunter grades with a system out of 100 for example if you did bad you got a 48/100 she also uses a rubric on h w you performed, how many paragraphs and spelling and grammar.The most intresting aspect of Ms. Hunter's classroom is how she interacts with the students and for me that makes it very enjoyable. Ms. Hunter really goes one on one with the students and will take her time to help a single student. We haven't gotten the e-books yet so technolgy is just writing with pencil and she writes on the board. So far their has been no use of technology in her class room. I hope to learn alot of new things and be able to think great ideas befor the school year ends and i don't have her anymore because she is an only freshmen teacher.


One link that Ms. Hunter has on her website is a link to a website where you can find potery. http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/Word_Mover/

Another is turnitin where you put your work in it to see if you copied off something. http://turnitin.com/

Educational Technology and Copyright Law

I learned about fair use and what copyright is from the article Educational Technology and Copyright Law. For example i learned that mainly anything that you write or publish has to be copyrighted or it can be stolen. I learned that it doesn't matter if you thought of it first it has to be written down. For fair use i learned that if you want to use someones work you have to give credit to the owner. For example taking someones work and using it as your own is illegal but taking someones work and using it to teach a class if fair use. It's fair use if you use it to educate. When you are in a class room and you do an amazing work of art and the teacher decides to use it for an example to teach a class. You might think that isn't fair but it is part of fair use. You can only use a certain amount of a video too.
