Tech Two Evaluation
https://www.mentimeter.com/
Three things I like:
1. I like how the voting occurs in real time. It is supported in all devices.
2 I like that it is very simple and easy to use. Does not require hardware installed.
3. I like also how it is very fast and has a simple voting format, so it would be very easy to use in a presentation for example.
Three things i don't like:
1. I don't like how there are only two themes.
2. I think they should try to make the way you get to a quiz much more simple, not just long id's.
3. I think they could do a better video on the video and the narrator could use a more clear voice.
Two ways to use the tool:
1. you can use it during a presentation to see if the audience paid attention, or understood.
2. You can use it after you present a job or provide a service to see peoples reaction on how well you did your job.

Three things that I like:
1. I like the what page because it gives a good explanation of their idea.
2. I like how it will deliver it for you in the future.
3. It could be use for things like remembering birth days or remembering goals.
Three things I don't like:
1. What if you change your email how will it be delivered?
2. The website has a scam appearance.
3. I don't like the if you are a human thing each time your going to send something.
Two ways you can use it:
1. you can send emails for peoples birthday to make sure you don't forget.
2. you can send an email for a teacher for a certain day before to make sure you don't forget.

Google Day #2
Goals:
-Find out how to get a profit from a server?
-Watch tutorial of how different mods can be downloaded, and what they change?
- Find out of stats or polls that show the interest of the "online gamers" in types of maps we plan to ma;e.
How to profit from a server HERE
This article and most of the articles about the topic talk about how the only real way to make a profit is through donations;however, making a server big enough to get a large amount of donations is very expensive. in general owners of servers are losing money.
Video of a mod HERE
the mod shows a completely different thing from what normally appears in the game. some of those things are objects, types of mountains, building materials, that don't exist in the original. they talk about how installing the mod is very difficult, because it has a lot of mods and so is to use the features of the mod. its interesting how the mod makes the game more realistic, for example you need to give the planes fuel which first you need to find coal for it to work. How ever at the end of the video i learned that mods cannot be used in online servers we will not be able to use it in our server if we decide it to put it online.
Info about adventure maps HERE
I learned from the forum that the way most of the maps work is that you put them on the page and then someone downloads them. if they like it they can contact you or give you a donation to make more.
today I learned a lot about mods even tough i was disappointed to see that I really cant use them if we plan to make the server online, also i learned that servers aren't the most profitable "business"
for next class I would like to learn how both of us can work on the same serer without using the same computer.

YouTube Quiz Feature
http://www.youtube.com/video_questions_beta
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOpYShynkT8&feature=plcp
If another student is making a quiz or a type of review for an exam like vocabulary they could use this for reviewing. Or if they are making a very long video they can put some questions to make it a bit more entertaining or even make a kind of quiz game for the class.
The purpose of the site is to
create more interactive videos. People can
make quizzes that can work for educational purposes. It adds questions to the YouTube videos,
making it easier for people to know if the viewer is actually paying attention.
This feature allows you to ask
question in a YouTube video where you choose when you want it to appear, and
you choose the answers. You can use the
feature when you are editing your video on the edit bar. After you have a video uploaded with the questions
you can see the summary of the answers that your viewers made through the analytic s page.

DIGITAL NATION
1.
I agree
when they say that technology and internet has changed aspects like the air
force because now they have drones and it isn't necessary for the pilot to be
on the plane he can be in a safe location.
2.
I agree when they say that students are now
usually looking on screens all the time because we can see that in our school
now and days were even teachers send homework on email.
3.
I disagree when they say that it is a disservice
using computers in class, because I feel that they are very effective as a
teaching method I think it depends more on the teacher.
4.
I agree when they say that you cannot multitask
because I have tried and I realized that I usually just pay more attention to
one thing, however sometimes I feel I can.
5.
I agree that it is more effective to work on a task
and only concentrating on that task because I’ve noticed that I write better
and more effectively when I’m only writing, not on Facebook or YouTube.
6.
I agree with how they say that video games can
be addictive because I have cousins that are addicted and they just can’t stop
playing.
7.
I agree that playing computer games affects your
grades because I noticed that my cousins that play a lot of video games have
worse grades.
8.
I disagree that it affects with how you
communicate with your parents because I feel that whenever I play video games
that doesn't make it for me harder to talk to m mom.
9.
I agree that kids seem to have natural ability
for technology because I have tried to teach my grandmother how to use a
computer and things that are so easy for me are difficult to her.
10.
I agree that technology is very important for
the future because most jobs require a good use of technology.
11.
I agree that computers can help kids in their
academic classes because I noticed it last year that we were allowed to use
more technology.
12.
I disagree with the principal seeing the kids in
stuff like photo booth because that is like an invasion to their privacy.
13.
I disagree that we are a dumber generation I think
that we just learn differently and are better in different areas.
14.
I agree that there are now new learning because of
technology is much more incorporated especially to elementary and primary
school.
15.
I agree that everyone suffers from distraction
because there are just so many options and things to see all the time on the
internet.
16.
I agree that there are people that need to be
more open minded, because the whole world is advancing so even if something’s
are lost we will get new stuff also.
17.
I agree
that if you can’t keep up with the internet for whatever reason you are left
behind because I noticed for example my grandmother cannot use the internet or
check email.
18.
I agree that people do exaggerate in those
massive online games because I have known people that are completely different once
they get into one of those games.
19.
I agree but I found it surprising at the same
time to see how much people consider people they have played with friends like
if they had known them their whole lives.
20.
I disagree that teachers feel that they cannot assign
long books projects because I have been assigned them recently and I also read
the book.

How can I get an athletic scholarship? Can I lose it? How?
-Topic or question you are researching
-correct label-CAREERS
-links to websites where you found useful information (at least 3)
-Summary of the information you found that answered the question/topic (this needs to be a well written, informative paragraph or two that others could read and find the answer to the question)
-New questions you have about this topic. (at least 1)
Links to useful pages
What I learned?
Getting athletic scholarships is harder now in days, and you have to start apply even before your junior year. In squash a total of 12 NCAA first division schools give scholarships. Scholarships can be lost for many reasons like bad behavior. If a student athlete does not have a high enough grade and he is competing for the school their whole season could be discredited.
New question?
How big are the ivy league scholarships?

M-banking or electronic wallets
What you know about topic before your research? I have no prior knowledge about this topic.
What you wonder or questions you have about the topic before researching? I'd like to know what the topic is about and what i can use it for. Also what advantages can i get from learning about this topic.
Links that gave me useful information DIGITAL WALLET LINK MOBILE BANKING ARTICLE
What I learned?
1. digital wallets are being developed to carry credentials to peoples phones like drivers license.
2. these could leaf to better fraud-proof ID system.
3. it could help stores allowing the store owner to do stuff like verify the age of the buyer.
4. M-banking can allow people to manage their finances through the phones, like making micropayments, transfer money, etc.
5. it makes communication with the customers easier.
Since I have used these technologies like e wallets in playstation stores now I can know how they work better. I also understand how they can be very effective and and facilitate many aspects of life.
Question I still have?
how safe is it giving all of this information to whatever company or keeping it online?

Google 20%
What I want to learn?
I want to learn how to make an interactive adventure map in a popular architecture/adventure game Minecraft. I'd like the map to include many diffrent stages, games, activities, etc. We would also like to have big monuments like statues and buildings. The players will have to journey through the map and get most of the bacon.
We are going to create a game of adventure it will have multiple stages, preferably each one represents a diffrent city, or country. The game will have multiple traps that we will use to try to eliminate the players. Bacon will be the most valuable item and it will define the players score and he will need to make sure he doesnt lose.
