Google Sketch Up

Google sketch up is a more hands on 3D modeling interface. It can be used for a lot of little projects such as making scale models of houses or just playing around. This can be very complicated for beginners but after maybe a couple days of playing around with the software it becomes easier for the users to start getting the hang of it. This software can be very beneficial to people who are trying to major in Architecture and all types of engineering.  

Firefox OS

Firefox OS is an operating system some what like the IOS for the Iphone. The IOS is more superior to the Firefox OS made by Mozilla, and to the more tech friendly crowd this is just not up to the job. Compared to the Android and IOS the firefox is to simple and not able to live up to the demands required of it due to the influences of the other two major competitors. Since it is a relatively  new system it runs just as it should. It runs sluggish and not very responsive. Personally the system isn't as bad as anyone makes it seem it is just vey new if you compare it to how the first few versions of IOS was you would see that it is actually a lot better then it may seem. I say if you give it a couple of years I believe that it would be just as good or maybe better than what the two competitors might be at, at that time.  

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

Google is taking over the world NOT!!!!!!

I don't think that Google is taking over the world, I feel as if that it is physically impossible. I feel that it is physically impossible that one company can take over the world, because off how many companies there are out there that run. Other companies such as Bing, Yahoo, AOL and other search engines of that nature. I do believe that they are working with the government and keeping  tabs on certain people that they are looking for or that they have a flag on  

This is the only way they are being used to take over the world shaking my head
