Stop Motion Video

     -My stop motion video was just pure random whiteboard pictures and I thought that it was kinda cool.

-I did this for my project because I was falling behind and because it just might be fun to make

- If I could rate it on a 1 to 10 scale I would give it an 8 because I did not but much effort into it but it was cool.

- If I could do this over again I would make my board facing the camera and I would be more careful to keep my hands out of the shot.

- I believe that my stop motion was out of the box because It was just random pictures that I just  drew on the spot and not really anything planned.

- I believe that I deserve a 8.5 out of 10 because I was out of the box with weird pictures and drawing straight from the brain.

Unethical Practice

Why do you think that most people use unethical practices to cheat academically?

     I think that people do this because they do not want to deal with the amount of work that they have been given based off of other things in their calendar. 

   Which one of the four offenses committed you think should have been let off with a warning rather than expelled? Why?

The collusion offence should have been let off easier because Sandra was just trying to help out her friend and she did not know if he was copying the paper word for word.

What kinds of problems will follow the students with this on their record?

No collage will want to take them as students with these offences because they can't believe their past grades and they also won't be able to get a job because employers want someone that will do the job full and complete.

Sphero Investigations

     Sphero
           Investigations
               
                                         by: Luke Brown and Blake Agre


1,) Speed and Time

     In our Sphero investigation for speed and time we learned how to create a macro to make the sphero move forward. This gave us basic information on how the sphero and the app work together as a pair to create a control system. We created our macro by clicking on the roll option and increased speed to 10% and got it to move for three seconds by adding 3000 to the drag option. this taught us how the macros work all together to create the rest of this project.
                       
 2.) 3-D Shapes

     In this investigation segment we learned how to use the roll and rotate option to create 3-D shapes. We created this macro to make a triangle and later a pentagon. We created a triangle by first clicking the add macro button and named it ,"Triangle". After this we added the roll, stop, and rotate commands. This was a hard macro but me and the group managed. This investigation showed us how to use the basic command roll and rotate together in harmony to get the ball to do what we want it to.

6th Sense Tech...


     The future is around the corner when it comes to technology. The digital world and the physical world are starting to merge together as one. In this video I learned that even with old tech you can make something new (hand glove thing). With googles hololense coming out soon and oculus rift slowly being developed through the cracks, it is only a matter of time before they burst open the door between reality and the digital world. This truly blew me away when I watched because it was so engaging. Also the fact that it is possible to play videogames, work, design, and most importantly create on just a piece of paper, not to mention taking pictures out of thin air! Although there would be some problems with this type of new tech. This tech just like any other may need some development even after it comes into public hands. It may be to unresponsive for humans at first and it may need improvements before even touching human hands. All together this new tech will make the world a better place and our lives a little easier.

PSA'S

     A PSA is called a "Public Service Announcement". These are adds or announcements in the USA usually to inform the public of health or service problems.We use these to warn people of things people do that are dangerous. One of these is a video on texting and driving. It is very graphic because it's trying to get across a very important point.Check it out here. There also are tons of others like this one. That one talks about drugs and how dangerous they can be. Some of this may be surprising.

My Favorite App

 I funny is a very funny app used to interact with subscribers and post funny pictures of people doing dumb things. Connecting with friends is really easy to because it is a free app that has an account maker off of just email unlike other social sites that require you to tell the your zip code or address. Everyday there a featured pictures that go up on the main page showing off the bests posts in the last 24 hours. If you ever want a nice laugh head over to ifunny  .

1.) The speaker is concern because he is trying to protect not just his privacy but his FAMILY.
2.)The trackers are following your history to give you adds that you will click on.
3.) Although tracking can be helpful and give you adds that are not as obnoxious but some of them can be very annoying. On my gaming computer I usually Google stuff about video games and I get a lot of video game adds.
4.)No not really because I have known about these things for a very long time.
5.)mine would be a lot bigger than the ones in the TED Talk because I use the internet more than anyone I know.
