Student Viewpoints on... 24/7 Learning

2007-09-11T07:57:00.000-05:00

You have been introduced to the power and potential for learning with a MacBook computer. Now, imagine the possibility of having this tool in your backpack 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. What benefits to your learning would this create? What problems, if any, would arise if every student had their own school-issued MacBook. Brainstorm possible projects, learning opportunities, and things that would change if O'Neill adopted a 24/7 Learning Initiative.

Podcast review

2007-09-05T08:31:00.002-05:00

The podcast that I chose is about football. In the begining of the podcast is making fun of one of the brodcasters because they had lunch with his family. Then they start talkin about Mike Shanahan and the say that he has some dirty tricks. My podcast is audio only. I think I would subscribe to it because its all about sports. I like to hear the latest news about sports.-Conner I.

Angel's Podcast

2007-09-05T08:31:00.001-05:00

My podcast is about Husker football. They have made 18 podcasts. The people that host this are Kevin Kugler and Adrian Fiala. What these podcasts bring to us are Big Red Wrap-Ups providing a weekly recap of each Husker football game, including highlights, and in-depth analysis. Former Husker running back Damon Benning joins Kevin Kugler and Adrian Fiala for a talk about the upcoming Husker season. They also talk a little about how the other teams are doing. They also talk about championships and bowl games. They have a new episode once a week. I like to listen to these episodes that they make, because I like the Huskers.

Olivia's Podcast

2007-09-05T08:31:00.000-05:00

My podcast was all about how modeles get their make-up done. It showed the artist putting the make-up on them and the models getting their picture taken. Then they showed a magazine with the finished product in it. The pictures were more enhanced, they probably used a program like photoshop or something simaliar. It was all music and video clips, there was no dialouge. It was about 2 minutes long. I checked the dates on all of the podcast submitted by Sephora and most of them were posted on one day, but there were a couple of random ones. I have subscribed to their channel to watch all of their upcoming podcast. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 9.

The podcast I watched.

2007-09-05T08:30:00.000-05:00

The podcast I watched was a Seventeen Magazine one. It was about learning how make-up and hair artists did hair and make-up for the models during New York Fashion Week Fall 2007. I liked this podcast because it's all about hair and make-up by my favorite magazine. There are 23 episodes that come have one out each week. These podcasts are hosted by Desi, the beauty editor of Seventeen Magazine. I rate these podcasts a 9 out of a 10!

Michigan Loses

2007-09-05T08:29:00.002-05:00

last thusday we just started on the podcast. I learned that it is like a radio on the internet. I learned that people can make any kind of podcast. I learned that it was free. Last week on friday we worked on the script or garageband. I learned that we can look up eclives to look up old podcast. we had a assignment to find a podcast and then fill out the worksheet but we didn't do it because it was taking to long . Today we're finishing our script and working on the imovie, garageband, smartboard.

podcasting

2007-04-12T08:27:00.000-05:00

okay, well yesterday im not going to lie to you i was kinda lost. not because we didnt have good direction from mrs.marrow but because i wasnt here the day before and because it seems like everyone in the class knows whats shes talking about. they've all tried it in grade school i guess. So mrs. marrow talked and covered some questions on a worksheet that she passed out at the beginning of class. questions like: what is a podcast? how does it work? what are all the different types of podcasts? then she talked some and showed us some of her other classes work. she told us what they did that she liked and what they could have improved on. Then she gave us the rest of the class to go to Itunes and listen to other podcast from there. Hopefully to give us an idea of what we're going to do for ours, but outside of class everyone is getting more excited as the oneill track meet and getting outta school for a whole day was coming fast. Im not going but everyone that is wont stop talking about it. so i hope you all have fun...
Later,
Casse

I'm not too worried about cameron but i think katie might give us a ride that we won't forget...just kidding. well it seems like everyone tells us what we're having for lunch.. so i thought i should be included also.. but the truth is i don't know what we're having for lunch.. but i know it won't be Casey's pizza.

In the last few videos of bluezones they talked about the eight secrets of longevity. They talked about the food that they eat to have longevity. They eat alot of fruit and vegetables. The people that live there do not eat meat as much as we do. They save alot of there meat for celebrations.

You wear it!! Today the bluezones team talked to a guy about his shoes, and how he has lived a long peace full life. I have noticed that every person that they have interviewed (that i can remember) has had a really strong faith, lived in peace, and mostly ate the same foods. Well I hope you have visited the site lately and see the man that man who has gone through many shoes. (I had a picture of some really cute shoes(Costa Rican too!!))

Today in bluezones we were supposed to work according to or rows. We divided the people into sections of the site to do the daily checks. I got to do the " Direct The Team." Today the team asked where they should go next. They gave me 3 choices, and I picked the one that sounded the best to me. Well, thats all that i have for now.

Daily Dispatch for Feb. 12

2007-02-14T08:22:00.000-06:00

Blue Zones Daily Dispatch for Monday Feb. 12 told about Nicoya's longevity formula. It went on to say that 2 heads are better than one. It tells about a book where a professor fills a jar with 850 beans and the class guesses on how many are in the jar. The class says there are 871 beans and only one person in the class had a closer guess. It gives examples to support that 2 heards are better than one in the stock market and in the democratic system. Even in the game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". The people who polled the audiance got the question right 91% of the time and those who phoned a friend got the question right 65% of the time. Then it told you the 8 top things that we voted on for the reasons on Nicoya's Longevity.

1. The Water
2. Emphasizing Family
3. Having Faith
4. Eating Fruit
5. Nixtamal
6. Passion for Work
7. Having a Plan de Vida
8. Finding Happiness

This is about it for Blue Zones Daily Dispatch on Monday if you missed it.

2007-02-14T08:21:00.000-06:00

To begin, I would like to wish everyone a happy Valentines Day!! On Blue Zones the team finished the quest at Costa Rica on Tuesday. Beacause of this fact, I got to really explore the website. General information about the secret to longevity was obtained along with info on Costa Rica's geography. Research shows that 30% of longevity comes from genes that are giving to you, and the other 70% comes from lifestyle you choose to live. From the geo. end today I discovered that Costa Rica is a rich tropical rainforests region that is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, Pacific Ocean, Nicaragua, and Panama. The map that is up at the top of the page may help you better understand the geography of this rainforest area. You can learn more about the secrets to longevity by going to www.bluezones.com and creating an account. So long and don't forget to have a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY.

February was their last day in Costa Rica. I wasn't able to watch the video because the video took awhile to load. So, I just read the daily dispatch and did the votes on where they would go next time. I thought that they should go to Crete because it would be a different religion (probably) then costa rica. Plus, the location is different too. Well I'm done with this blog so see ya later.

the point is about the how the researchers at bluezones are doing. They're doing very well with finding longjevity. In costa rica they are finding a lot of people over 90. They have done surveys and have figured out a lot about their history and their ways of staying healthy.

2007-02-02T08:32:00.000-06:00

The point of bluezone is to find out what longevity is and how it works. The people who have longevity live to be 100 or more.

Blue Zones in now visiting Costa Rica and is still trying to solve the mystery to longevity. Today we learned how the water might be linked to this. The reason being that it is rich in calcium. Other days this week have explained why their taco shells may also be a key to longevity. Having a purpose for tommorrow may assist in having a longer life. The message of this site is to discover how you can live longer.

Today we began by having some free time. During this time we could either work on our songs in GarageBand or work on our 60 sec. commercials for NETA. Jennie and I are the only ones that chose to create a project for NETA. The topic is The Winning Ticket. During are free time, Mrs. Morrow prepared a presentation to show us about power point design. From this we learned how colors blend together and how to not use to many colors on each slide. Out of Tech Trends the JH Boys play Valentine. We would like to wish you good luck.

Hi, Today we are working on our Isafe packets. The Isafe packet deals with alot of sutff, for example how to keep safe from online predators. For example, we learned not to give out any personal information at all, Credit Card numbers, home phone work phone numbers, street adress. So we all hope we could share this info with all of you people that chat on IM places or in chat rooms. So you can all still be safe but still be able to have fun. Thank you for reading my post :)!

Hello, this is "Tiny" Tim.Today Mrs. Morrow told us that next week we are going to do interviews on people with jobs that have progressed in technology. I dont know who I'm going to interview, but I'll figure out something. I wish I had more, but there's not much were doing today except mess around and go on garageband. Well I'm going to the game tonight, hopefully we win. My next game is at the high school gym and were playing Valentine. They have more people than the last teams we played so more players will go to the game. So more people will be happy and the team might be better with more people there so they can rest. Well, that's all for me. See yah all later.

To start off the day in technology class a few of us finished up our comic lifes and printed them. Then once everyone was done with that and we got the computer to work we looked at somethings that Mrs. Morrow could do with the computers. She then told us that today we were going to do a Meet My Macbook packet. The Meet My Macbook packet shows you how to take care of the macbooks. By Friday this week we have to find something on the macbooks that we didn't know about, and show it to the class. She also told us about blog entries and that I was the first one that would have to post a blog for today that told about what we did in class. So thats whats going on in tech. class today. Other news is that the 8th grade girls started their tournament team in basketball. We had our first practice last night. This year we are going to be in a lot more tournaments than we have been in past years. We are all excited about that. This is all the news for now in tech. class.
