Sixth Sense Technology

When I was watching this video, I was amazed. I was thinking of how people would use it in the future, and that it would be very useful. I would love to have one of these, because I could take a trip to some place, and take pictures whenever I want. I could also play, and get entertained everywhere I go. Finally, I could copy informatino of a paragraph or articles and save them. Having one of these awesome inventions would be awesome.

There are a big amount of great things about technology. Technology helps every person in the world. It helps them in work by investigating with it. It helps people to communicate. It also entertains everyone, technology is all around the world. Last but not least, it helps people to inform about things that happen in the world. Technology is a wonderful tool for people.

Open source is something free that can be changed. I have used Facebook, Moodle, Blogger and more. A pro is that it is free. A con is that people can modify it. Another con is that the information people can put cannot be correct. Finally a pro is that anyone can see it. Open source is very useful

Christmas Break









I did many fun things during my winter vacations. First, I went to Guadalajara to visit my family. While I was there my family made a dinner, in which we made a gift exchange. When it was our turn to give the gift, we didn't describe the person we were giving it to, instead we told a funny story about them, or something they did that helped someone a lot. After giving the gifts we had dinner. My dad and my uncle prepared onion soup and a rissotto for all of us. The food was delicious, everyone liked. Being in Guadalajara was something I really enjoyed.

Another fun thing I did was going to the beach in Puerto Vallarta. I had some family visiting my family here in Puerto Vallarta. They were staying in Playas Gemelas, which are apartments that are on the way to Conchas Chinas. Since it was december, the waves were really big (from 3 to 5 meters tall). My cousin, my brother and I was diving into the ocean, and they were throwing me into the waves so they would knock me down. When we got tired we decided to go to the pool. After an hour I left with my family to my house. The beach was awesome that day.

The last interesting thing I did in vacations was celebrating on Holiday Inn. First, when we arrived, I was talking with my friend. Pretty soon the band started to play songs. After about 30 minutes the food was being given. They served pumking soup, duck and beef medallions, and lastly raspberry mousse with chocolate cake. After eating everybody went to dance on the dance floor. The hotel distributed hats, necklaces, ballonds and all kinds of objects to clebrate and decorate. My cousins and I went to take some photos, doing tricks with cellphones. After some time the fireworks started, and Holiday Inn was the hotel that lasted the most throwing fireworks. The party was something unforgetable.

New Security Measures

I know that the new security measures on facebook want to protect people. I understand that facebook wanted people to feel safe. They were created, first of all, because people asked this social network. Also, because facebook wanted poeple to have security, and to make people access to facebook and dont be afraid. I think that these measures will make me feel safer. Plus, I think that they were very smart to put them. This will be succesful. This is because more people will create an account. This will make me have more privacy. Finally, I will feel very safe. The new security measures will be a great success.

Map testing

Map Testing is a really good distraction for other teachers. This is because they dont leave us too much homework because it is bad for us to stay up late. Also, we miss class in that weekend. What I like about that is that I dont have to mess with work of other teachers in more than an hour. Last but not least, sometimes we talk about map during class. This is why it makes me a little happy to have map testing.

Map testing also makes me get a little mad or bored. The reason for this is because I hate having to be in the computer more than an hour doing nothing and just clicking a mouse. I dont like to stare at it just to answer 52 questions. Plus, people start comparing thir results and start laughing at each other. Finally, sometimes I get a little sad when I see I go down. Map testing can get really boring sometimes.

It also helps students. They can see if they have to improve on something. Also, they can see where they did mistakes and learn them. After the test they can ask someone what the question was and how he/she can solve it. Plus if the student had problems in a question but solved it the student can work more often on it. This way the student will solve a problem easier.

This is what I think about Map testing. It is an educational program that helps students see how they are learning.
