Wikis

There are many benefits into using wikis in the classroom. You can work in groups and update one page and everyone can see it. In this class, we could use it as a big collaborative project in which everyone in the room adds a little bit of information to one wiki. Wikis could be very useful if used effectively, and they should be utilized more. I have no experience with wikis, but wouldn't mind making one.

Do Now : Invisibility

If I could use an invisibility cloak for one day and preform a good deed, it would be to go and help people in need. I would go around the schools and the streets of neighboring towns and see if anything bad was happening. If it was, I would step in and do something to help solve what the problem was. I would try to help kids getting bullied as well.
The other thing I would do is to go to my grandparents house and help them with anything they need. If I see there is a problem in the house I would go and fix it. If something was falling in there house I would make sure it doesn't just to save them the trouble.

Floating Touchscreen Displays Keep ATM Screens Invisible to Others

• Next gen display technology developed by Asukanet 
• In its concept stage but if it gets passed that can be used to view a screen in a way only you can see

10.7 Do Now

     I think if I could add one class to our curriculum that we do not have it would be wood-shop. Within wood-shop there are many things to learn. It would help people with hands on learning and improve many skills for them. They would be able in incorporate other subjects into it, like geometry and even science with the types of wood you use. It would help students in many ways, and it would just be a really fun class for many people.
     This class would just like any other, you would be taking it within your regular schedule as an elective. You would learn about the different types of wood, and learn how to make different things out of wood. It would give students a chance to learn hands on and be able to display what they create to other people. The things they make could be used around the school or they could keep it. You can also incorporate it with an art class and be able to paint in during that class if you wanted to.
