Current Event #3 

    Hey guys the title of my article is "Zookal will deliver textbooks using drones in Australia next year", the topic of this article is how Zookal will deliver textbooks to Austrailia this coming year, they will deliver them by using drones or robots, they will be equipped with motion detectors to avoid potential obsticales such as people or buildings or things in that nature. This is the first time that this kind of thing has happened, people have delivered things with drones but never textbooks. Zookal claims that "once the drone has taken flight a delivery can be made in as little as two to three minutes. To me if  I ordered a text book and it was delivered in two to three minutes, that would be awesome, If they can carry textbooks then what else can they carry? Think about how long it takes when you order somehting off of ebay or Amazon, it takes at least half a week and at tops a whole week or more. I feel that delivering things with drones will be time efficient, but on the other hand people may be stupid and try to grab them when the bot comes down to deliver the book, and that could start a big commosion between citizens and Zookal. This event effects me personally because I am totally jealous, I want a delivering drome, they should spread their product across to North Carolina no where else. This event Could be the next step to world wide robots or it could help them build A motor that runs like the drones and put it in a car.

Bi weekly Blog post #3

           Hey Guys today I am going to start off by telling you new terms we have studied:

• Online Predator: A commonly used term for someone who uses the internet to develop inappropriate relationship with kids or teens.
• Risky:potentially harmful to one's emotion.
• Manipulate: trying to influence someone to do something they do not want to.
• Stereotype: a popular belief about a certain race.

         A New 2.0 tool we have learned this week is:
           
           Animoto: Animoto is a like a powerpoint where you can add videos and audio clips and it is usually used to tell a story or for memories. It can also be thought of as a photo video collage thing where you have pictures of you baby's first words or steps. http://animoto.com 

Make your own slideshow at Animoto.

      The pros of animoto are that you can add photos and music or words that describe the pictures and it is easy to familiarize with the buttons and how to make and edit an Animoto. The cons of Animoto are how you have to make a copy of the old video just to edit it and once you edit the copied video you have to delete the older version of your updated version.

A Digital literacy component I have learned this week:

Risky Relationships: This topic covers how to avoid risky relationships by telling you how to evaluate a safe relationship and how to have a safe relationship with someone. It is going to help me by me being able to evaluate if the person I am in a relationship is safe or unsafe and it will help me pick my friends that will not drag me down but help me and give me good advice on things. It mostly will help me woth talking to people online because that is where most predators are because they can fake their identity very easily because you can't see them, I am glad that we have learned this component it blended well with our project for college becuase you have to evaluate peoples study habits.  This week has been a very complex week we have two projects that have been assigned but other than that it has been a good and efficient week.
