Blender

What is blender? Blender is a 3D Animation software something like the CAD programs. This software is used for multiple different things such as game designing, architecture, and just normal graphics things. We so far have use blender just for a learning experience and just having fun exploring the program. So far I find this program extremely fun and it is very simple to use once you get a hang of it.

 

This video above is just a very good intro video on how to use the programing and all of the functions.

ROTC

I don't believe that ROTC is one of the best choices if you are actually trying to go in the military. I believe that it is a good idea if you are trying to go into college and save money and possibly get a scholarship and go to school for free. I believe that ROTC is a poor example of preparation for the actual army. I believe this because nothing can actually prepare you for being in actual in combat situation. But on the plus side ROTC does come with its upside which is the four year scholarship program which is for students who intend to go to school for all four years for college. the requirements for this is that you have to be a US citizen have at least a 2.5 GPA and also you have at least a high school diploma.  

DGBL

DGBL- Digital Game Based Learning

DGBL is a way for people to learn in a more hands on way by playing games such as Leap Frog for younger kids or Pathways. This is a more interesting way for kids to learn because kids don't really like to sit in front of the teacher and just watch them run their mouth for 45 minutes *hint hint*. This is a more interesting way for kids to learn because it helps them out academics wise and it also relates to them more than a text book. Kids are more interested in this type of learning style because it is more hands on an interactive then what most teachers can just offer by just teaching the class. DGBL's don't even have to be involved in school. There are some of them are just used to help to learn how to do things in everyday life such as cooking games and music games that are more interactive like Dj Hero etc. Most people don't like this form of learning because they believe that  it makes kids spend less time pout and about or outside playing sports things of the more social area of life. A lot of parents would prefer their kids to read a book but a lot of kids learn in a different way a more hands on and interactive way.

Some Examples of DGBL's would be:

Guitar Hero

Leap Frog

Dance Dance Revolution
