Class Evaluation

a) I really liked how things we were learning related to the following lesson. I also like how we used code.org to do the work that way everything is saved and there is not problem becasuse it allowed you to complete work at home. 

b) I did not like some of the topics becasue they were hard to understand, but with the videos and Mr. Haymores help I did well. I'm glad I have a B in the class. It is an AP class, so I am happy with the work I did. 

c)I think more hands on activities would be great. We did some in the beginning and that really got us engaged in what we were learning. It was really fun and helped us understand the curriculum.

d) I really liked when we were learning about colored images. I liked it because I learned how to make my favorite color in coding. I also got to make cool images and that was fun. 

e) I feel I did do my best becasue I have a  B. I feel I put my maximum effort even though I struggled alittle towards the end with the last two lessons.

f) I am learning how to use skills for college and making sure I understand what my teacher is teaching. I am putting in maximum time and effort so I can be a CTR person. 

g) I do read it frequently, but sometimes I do miss days. I do not report it and I should start reading it more. I do add new goals and I am acomplishing my goals slowly but surely. 

h) Sometimes I know I am not perfect, but I plan to become a better person and I really want to focus on things that are important. I need to work on myself and really learn to be an Arete person. A CTR person I am also working on and I need to think about my actons more.

What is the Internet Giveaway?

Obama wanted to give the internet to Russia and China. Republicans agreed they wanted to give the IP addresses and internet away. This is not a good move because now the internet lacks security and this is a danger. Now the internet is for the whole world. I feel we were good the way we were because now that other nations share the same internet we will not have the internet to ourselves. The government is saying there is no dramatic change to our internet so far.

Nathan Sawaya

(1)Nathan Sawaya is an award winning artist, whop does beautiful and different works of art. His style of art is amazing because it is called brick art. This was a way of making LEGO art. This type of art is both playful and beautiful.

(2) This must have taken so much time and effort because LEGO's are very small and hard to connect the different textures at the top. This must have taken alot of time because art work needs to be perfected. If he were to mess up one LEGO, he would have to restart. He even makes letters, and round shapes will rectangle LEGO's.

(3)Technology allowed him to sell his products and when he did, the website crashed! That just goes to show how amazing his works of art are. This is a big step in his life. Even though he had a great job being a lawyer, he still wanted to follow his dreams of becoming an artist and doing what he loves.

                                 Blown To Bits 
                            Chapter 3

    Giuliana Sgrena was a Italian journalist she was held hostage for a month and was released on march 4, 2005. She was hold captive, one of the Italian agents named Nicola Calipari helped her release case. After her release a huge dispute ensured why U.S soldiers shot innocent allies from the Iraq war in a car, the soldiers claim that the car was speeding and did not slow down after being warned by the soldiers the Italians denied both claims the U.S made. The U.S made a 45 page report on what happened the day of the incident. The report enraged the Italian officials right after the Italians right after released their report about what happened and their version differed the U.S in  crucial detail. The programs they used are advanced in today's society. The report used a software that created PDF files and included a "Highlighter Tool".

Alex Hattori 

(1) Alex Hattori is an amazing at the yo-yo. He has won several competitions, and managed to get 2nd in some to! That is still a great accomplishment. He is now 17, and learned alot of his basic tricks through the Sunshine Kite Company yo-yo club. He mainly focuses on the level 3A. 

(2) Alex Hattori got to where he is now because of hard work and dedication. Without this determination he wouldnt have gotten to where he is now.
(3) Technology may have helped him becasuse in order for him to learn he must have seen videos or even wating TV shows might have helped him.

(4)

(5) After watching a video, I now see why it is so excellent. Its takes precision, determination and pracice. Not everyone can take up something like this, that easily. I feel it must have taken years and years of practice to get as good as he is. Determination and hard work pays off, why? It gets him to where he is today, 1st- 3rd place is great! This takes years of persistance, and now look where he is. 

"Blown to Bits" Chapter 2

~ In the chapter Naked in the Sunlight, I read something that was very tragic. On July 7th or 2005, There were suicide bombers who did four explosions. Sadly, 52 people died and 700 were seriously injured. Surveillance cameras did not record the terrorist act, but they were caught on camera. London did fortunately have cameras, which was useful. In the city of London it it said to have cameras everywhere. It is as if they are always being watched. Sometimes this can be a good thing, but when it comes to privacy this can be an issue. In today's society there is a lot of technology that it almost seems normal to be watched my cameras. There are always records on what you do and for example, how you spend your money. There is a wide variety on what information is kept about us. Devices are now smaller and portable, so technology is a necessity these days. In my opinion, after reading the article, I am not noticing how much we are being "watched". At times I think it is a good thing, but when it comes to privacy we all deserve out privacy. I feel if it is to protect us then it can be a good thing. 

Computer Science Innovations

(a) One innovation I found interesting was robot technology used for surgeries! The growth of his technology has been progressing since the 1980s. Scientists are thinking of new ways of improving surgeries to make it easier on doctors.

(c) This will solve probelms like death and staralized tools. I have seen videos on how they do this. The patient does seem concerned sometmes. But they feel relieved after, knowing they will have the best care. 

(d) I personaly like this innovation becasue it will help the world and cause less deaths in the world. And this can also prevent diseases because of staralization of tools used. It is more accurate with surgery because it is programed not to mess up. Doctors always leave unwanted tools in patients, this would prevent that. I like this innovaton.
