Cycle 2 Week 8

My five months of blogging have really helped me. I've learned so many different things about science and so many different contents of science.Technology has helped me build my learning ability. Technology has helped me find new ways of creating a project or doing research. I did very well in being creative and finding very accurate and helpful information. I could have based some of my post on science more like my game post. I would like to ask questions to my followers. I had done it before but I did not get the results I was hoping for. Using technology has sharpened my computer skills and my reading ability. I have really been reading a lot more and doing more complex things.

Comment 1 (Bryce) Week 8: Good response, I like how you included what you learned from someone else.

Comment 2 (Ashley) Week 8: I think you did a lot of thinking on your questions . you answered them very well and gave good ideas. I think we should use the blogs to study.

Comments Ashley and Jennifer

Ashley: I really like your information and the bridge you chose was pretty cool. Great job.

Jennifer: You did I really great job. You gave very descriptive details. I really like you letter are in blue because I thinks it's cool that the bridge has a blue arch over it.

Cycle 2 Week 7

A famous bridge that I know  of is the Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy. The inventors were people like

Jacopo SansovinoPalladio and Vignola. Another person that was said to have helped was the legendary Michelangelo. The Rialto is an arch bridge and it is made out of stone. The length of the bridge is 94.5 feet and that is  28.8 meters


Fun Facts:
The present stone bridge, a single span designed by Antonio da Ponte, was finally completed in 1591.
It was partly burnt in the revolt led by Bajamonte Tiepolo in 1310.
In 1444 it collapsed under the weight of a crowd watching a boat parade and it collapsed again in 1524.

Week 6 Prompt (Bryce)

I like how you related the electrical engineer to things that you enjoy.

Week 6 Prompt (Bashir)

I think you did okay but I would suggest spell check.
Engennering = Engineering
Trechnology = Technology

Week 6 Prompt

From Discover Engineering I learned that there are many kinds of engineering. There's one that we all might be familiar with called computer engineering. Computer engineering is the design, maintenance,and the construction of computers and other computer controlled equipment. Another on that really caught my eye was Agriculture and Biological engineering. These two forms of engineering deal with advancing agriculture and farming.


The career I would like to do is become a Biomedical engineer. I think this study might be most helpful because I want to be a pediatrician. Biomedical engineering is the study biology and medicine to strengthen the technologies related to health care. You can produce medical diagnostic machines and artificial organs. I really would enjoy doing this for a living.

Week 5 2nd Prompt (Furdois)

you did good explaining how the test felt but I think you should have focused more on the blogging.

Week 5 2nd Prompt (Tim)

Good job. I really like how you related it to how people chose to express the ways they learn.

Cycle 2 Week 5: Blogging in Schools

Now a days schools are using blogs to not only get their students prepared to use the different technology that high school requires. Schools are also finding how much their student is learning inside and outside of school. Schools can also get their students opinions on ideas through blogging.

Blogging is also a great to get  helpful criticism. I know that when students and teachers comment on my blog and give feedback it just makes my next blog post better. some ideas I found were ones like adding a picture for more detail or writing the resources so people can see the website you got information from themselves.

Some ideas I have is to try to make some things that you blog about come to reality. so for example if you have an experiment in your post like the lava lamp experiment. Try creating it and explaining what you did or how it looked. If you can take a picture of what you made or find a picture on the Internet of the same experiment.

Week 5 Prompt (Khyla)

Great job you really gave clear examples and great reasoning.

Week 5 Prompt (Bashir)

I think you did okay but you should have given more examples or elaborated.

Cycle 2 Week 5: My Blogging

The technology we use in class has really helped me learn about all the material I needed for the NJ ASK. Blogging has made me a better thinker and I have added new words to my vocabulary. Blogging has helped my writing by giving me more information about science and how I should write my responses to a scientific question. Blogging has helped me on the NJ ASK because during the course of all my blogs I have done a lot of research and a lot of positive feedback from my teammates that helped me answer my questions. All the sites like iGoogle and Gmail have made it easier to communicate with others. These tools have also helped me learn about all the ways you can produce or create a project and work with a partner without being next to the person. All of this has really helped me progress in school and do well on my NJ ASK.
