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

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,

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.

bluezone By: Jericho

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.

The peninsula.

Today theywere focusingon longevite. Then they viseted the small peninsula of costa rica.

If the shoe fits...

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!!))
"live large,"

BlueZones 2-13 by Tim M.

I learned from the bluezones that a healthy life stile and steady exersize can keep you healthy. It also taught me that enof work to keep you buisy but not enof to get you stressed is more important than the money you make doing it.And that what realy matters is family.

Nicoya, Costa Rica

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.

BLueZones on Tues. Febr. 13 BY JAMES

Daily Dispatch for Feb. 12

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.

Blue Zones Update-2/14/07

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.

Heidi H.

Costa Rica behind the lenes

The video showed us how they lived and that they do some stuff that we do here in the US. Like they celebrate birthdays like we do and other things. It also showed us the kinda of food they eat. during the video it played a snong that they might listen to there.

February 13, 2007 bluezones by Tim H.

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.

Bluezone Blog By colon Eler

For here i have a couple of great wonderful people, this video was about this elderly lady and her life. She is rather old.

Jessica Marvin Febuary 14,2007

Bluezones told alot about how to have longjevity (that means live a long time) i watched yesterdays video and it was just a whole bunch of pictures that they took over the whole trip, they were really cool it also showed what they learned they learned about the 5 main ways to have longjevity. they are valuating people faith plant based diet hard work and a nice lifestyle.

blog by tim

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.

Bluezone By: Jericho

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.

Bluezones so far

What is the point of Bluezones?

It is about people reaserching how people in Costa Rica live so long.

What's the message from bluezones?

The message is that reseachers in costa Rica are making movies and a lot of other stuff and puting it on bluezones.com for us to learn about how the people live so long.

well that is all that we have to say about bluezones.com. If you wont to learn more just go to the website and go to all the links you are interested in.
SEE YA

BY: Jenni Forslund and Danielle Peter

bluezones.com

Hey peoples!!!
bluezones.com is an awsome website that that goes surching for a "myth". this round they are finding the source of longivity. if you go there you can see the movie of what they did today, vote how to solve a delma, a mystery photo, and more!!
I hope you visit it, you'll really like it.
LOL,
nrowe

Blue Zones So Far By: Heidi and Jennie

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.


Heidi and Jennie

BlueZones

The point of BlueZones is so we can see what they are doing and try to discover why they are living longer in that part of the world. To tech that people can live long if you take care of yourself over a long period of time.

January 23, 2007

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.

Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2007

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 :)!

blog by tim

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.

January 18, 2007

Today in technology we worked on our worksheet packets. We learned today that F9 shows you all your windows at once. We also learned that F10 makes everything dark except the screen you are on.

January 9, 2007 by Jennie

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.

Welcome to OPS 8th Grade Technolody Trends- 3rd Quarter!

Welcome 3rd Quarter Students!
For your first blog post and first assignment I would like everyone to create a post that tells the class at least three things:

1) Your current access to technology
(What tech tools do you own? )

2) Your current tech proficiency
(What skills are you strong at? What would you like to learn more about?)

3) Your prediction for technology in the future
(What tools and skills do you think will be commonplace and necessary when you are out in the real world workforce after graduation?)

You may try some formatting or adding an image, but MAKE SURE that you spell check before publishing your post!

If you finish early you may read previous posts to the blog from students during the first two quarters of 8th grade Technology Trends.

Today in class we worked on our Imovie. My group and I are working on Blackbeard the Pirate. I learned alot about him that I never knew. Blackbeard was a famous pirate. We acted out a skit! My technology choice is an article from http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/06/13/gentech/main1707449.shtml that talked about how technology makes life alot easier! They talked about how parents should be watching out for their kids. Technology is now a nice way to entain yourself! This article said they worry about kids and their little techno-toys! They said that technology's Myspace is just like hanging out with a neighbor. And instant messaging is meaningful communication. They said telivisions and computer screens shouldn't be put infront of kids intell they are somewhere older than 3-7 years old. Cell phones, computers, Ipods, etc. are far down the list from things to worry about kids. They also mentioned that the Internet is a big invention and that it is hard to measure such things in present tense!

Today December 20th, 2006 we finished our iMovie projects. Josh, Alejandro, and Myself did ours on the Spies of the Revolution. We had to make a storyboard, and a script because those are 2 of the 3 grades we are getting for this project. Today is our last day in this quater class, Technology Trends.

The Sony PS3 can either have 20 gigabytes or 60 gigabytes. 20 gigabytes costs around $500 online. 60 gigabytes costs roughly $600.

Today in class we worked on our imovie research and scripts. Blake was gone so I didn't have to do much. TECHNOLOGY IN THE REAL WORLD- the technology that I'm going to talk about is the new ipod remodeled. The new ipod nano is now available in 2gb, 4gb, and 8gb. They hold 2,000 songs and are available in 5 colors- black, silver, fuschia, lime, and turquoise. They hold 25,000 photos and play audiobooks and podcasts. They have 24 hours of battery life. It is still 99 cents for a song and they also made it 40% brighter. It is a slimmer design it is .26 thin, the lengh is 3.5, and the width is 1.6 all measurements are in inches.

Well today at technology class we talked about our "iMovies"
iMovies are kind of fun, because you can teach other people about history.
For our iMovies we get 2 grades one for our Technology teacher and the other one for our History teacher.
Right now we were just picking our topics, and talking about our scripts.
Well thats about if for our technology class

In the real world;
Last week the "Roboexotica" festival of "cocktail robots" took place in Vienna, Austria. Around 35 robots mixed cocktails
Winner in the Cocktail Mixing category was the External Combustion Machine that mixes drinks through a recycled fuel injector from a Ford car
The Cocktail Serving award was won by the flamethrower-toting El Espanol Borracho - it apparently makes a mean flaming Spanish Coffee.

Hey it's me Sam again telling you whats going on in the Technology world, The Real world, and in Technoogy class. I'll start with Technology class first. Well today all we really did was work on our podcast. Some of us added in music and pictures to our podcast, while others tried to finish up. Those who got done with their podcast worked on their imovie project by researching their topic that they have picked. In the Real world, or I geuss you could just say school, we had a Science test. Lately in History we have been studying about how America became independant from England. Honestly I find it quite interesting to learn about America's history. In the Technology world I found out that Nike and Apple computer worked together to form a sports kit. This sports kit is an ipod that goes in your shoe. It tells you the speed that you re going, how many caleries you have burned, and the distance you have gone. Researchers are afraid that thieves or stalkers could track you down with this device. They are now saying that it is safe now. Until next time, Sammi Hammi.

Hello everyone I am going to talk to you about last friday. Well on friday we finished up our podcast about whatever we wanted to make it on. Like I did mine on golf because everyone knows I love to play it. But a lot of people did other sports and other things that they like to do. Making a podcast is a lot of fun if you know how to use it, otherwize it can be difficult.
The technology I found on the internet was that kids are getting vilent video games that either show killing, cursing, and shows bad things about girls and boys. Some of these games are "Medal of Honor" and "Need for Speed Underground." So if you are not over the age 17 I would not play these games. Well this is Blake from Nebraska saying so long.

Friday, December 1st

It's Finally Friday!! Friday December, 1st. Today in Technology Class we are working on our podcasts. Some of our podcast's topics are on baking cookies, taking care of your hair, and how to shop! We are using Garageband to record our podcasts, and we will be publishing them using Itunes.

In other news, The Japan Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers wants videos, posted on the popular video site "YouTube" to be checked before they are published. Daily over 100 million videos are watched on "YouTube." Last month alone 30,000 videos were taken off "YouTube" at the request of the Japanese entertainment group. YouTube's policy has always said that it will remove any copyrighted material upon request. The Japanese group has written to YouTube asking for a screening system for all the video clips that are going to be uploaded. Other measures such as posting messages in Japanese about "illegal uploads." The group also wants the YouTube uploaders to register their details and even face bans if they violate copyright. YouTube, owned by the popular search engine Google, has negotiated with some major copyright holders, and they've reached an agreement, that will let YouTube post copyrighted music videos and other videos in exchange for advertising. YouTube has licensing deals with CBS, Warner Music, Universal Music Group, and Sony BMG Music Entertainment.
