Online A Exam Review

Country Project Reflection

I enjoyed this project. I liked looking at all the neat pictures of my country Australia. I liked that we made a power point. Making the slides and choosing the colors, fonts, and transitions was fun. 

I did not enjoy that the outline was just a brief summary of what we need to have. It didnt tell we needed to have facts about the 5 places. I also did not like that we had to grade. That is supposed to be a teachers job. The students just do the assignments.

I would just add too the outline if i could change this. 

I felt fine doing the presentation.  It did not bother me. I liked that we could have notes with us.

Ben Franklin Collage & Script

Podcast Powered By Podbean

     

 Ben Franklin was born in Boston, Massachusetts on January 17^th. His parents were Josiah and Abiah. Ben was the eighth child of ten. He had nine brothers and seven sisters.

·        He attended grammar school from age eight to ten and had some private writing and arithmetic lessons. At age 13 he was apprenticed to his older brother James, who had recently returned from England with a new printing press. Ben learned the printing trade and devoted his spare time to advancement of his self-education. Ben transferred to Mr. George Brownell’s school for writing and arithmetic. His later education came from his own reading and lifelong debate and conversations with his friends.

·        From school days on Ben Franklin wanted to be a sailor. His father sent him to his brother’s print shop in Philadelphia, where he learned and set up his own printing business. Ben was a printer and a postmaster.

·        Franklin made important observations about the Gulf Stream, came up with the idea of Daylight Savings Time, and contributed a number of inventions, including bifocals, the Franklin stove, and a musical instrument called the armonica.  Everyone knows the story of Ben's famous kite flight. Ben did not "invent" electricity. He did invent the lightening rod, which protected buildings and ships from lightning damage. His invention of an iron furnace stove allowed people to warm their homes less dangerously and with less wood. It was called the “Franklin Stove.” Ben Franklin invented a tool called a long arm to reach high books.

·        Some interesting facts about Ben Frankilin would be: During his life, he made eight voyages across the Atlantic Ocean. These journeys gave him a lot of time to learn about ships and how they worked. Bens son ,William, owned a Newfoundland dog. He was left handed. He married Deborah Rogers in 1730. And he died in Philadelphia on April 17^th.

Flickr

There are many advantages to flickr. It is very nice and helpful. It helps me find pictures without worrying about copyright. All the pictures are in the public domain. I like flickr.You are legally allowed to use most of the time 10%. Fair use guidelines tell us how much of the copyrighted material we can use without violating the law.

·         You can use up to 10%, but no more than 1000 words of essays, articles, or stories, of a single copyrighted work.

·         You cannot use more than 3 poems from a single poet.

Reflection

I think the most helpful topic that we covered was the online safety. We cover it so much but you forget. I think this was really helpful. When he came in to talk to us that was really helpful. I feel like he actually taught us instead of just saying here write this down. The best tool you have on the internet is common sense. 

I also think learning how to make a secure password really helped. I realized that when I make a password that it should be easy for me to remember but hard for others to guess. Now, when I make any new accounts I am sure to put more thought into it. Passwords are to be taken seriously.

 From now on I will take passwords more seriously. I also know now that online safety is very important. Overall I think that the above thoughts were the most important things that we learned.

New Technology

The new technology article I read is about picking up after your dog. They take your dogs DNA. This costs you $35. If you dont pick up after your dog they take the evidence. They get the DNA from it and link it to which dog it was. If its your dog they charge you $100. Plus, you have to pay another $49 to cover the fee of sending in your evidence. I think this is a dumb idea. Just hire someone to clean it up. Its not that big of a deal.
