Swiss school
Notes:
SUMAS
- SUMAS is located in Switzerland and students like it because they have a lot of festivals and parties. It is also a very safe place to live in.
- SUMAS is located in the green IUCN Building in Gland

Sustainable consumption in Bogota:
- School should use solar energy for all of their technology part.
- Avoid printing many copies of paper (use more technology)
- Solar energy for transportation.
- Make more bike routes and walking paths so people walk more and ride bicycle more instead of always using cars.
- Educate the teenagers and kids so they understand sustainability and apply it in their own lives.

GAFE
Youtube:
1. What is this?Youtube is a webpage where you can watch videos. If you don't have an account, you can watch videos but you can't upload, like, share, etc. You have to create an account so you can have more access to all the things Youtube offers.
- Account: The first step is to create an account. You will need a username and fill in some information about you.
- Search for Videos: The second step is to search videos. You enter key words, the username, or the of the video in the search tab. Also, you can choose any category you wants and choose a video.
- Playlists: When you find a video that you like you can like it, add it to favorites, or add it to a playlist you created and it will be easier to find. You can create a as many playlists as you like and the good thing is that you can choose the privacy setting (public or private). Another great thing that Youtube has is the "Watch Later" playlist in which you can add videos that you didn't have time to watch. "History" playlist works too if you want to go back to video you already watched.
- Share/Subscribe: If you like the video, you can also share it to Twitter, Facebook, and other social medias. You can also subscribe to the user that uploaded it and receive notifications of every new upload from this user.
- Comment/Like and Dislike: You can also comment on the video and like it or dislike it.
- Upload Videos: You can upload your own videos or even record them directly from your phone or computer. In the privacy settings you can determine whether you want your video to be public or private. You can also put a title, a description, and tags to let people know what your video is about.
- #Views/#Likes: You can see how many people viewed you video because underneath the video it says "# views". You can also see how many people like it and disliked it.
- Rent Movies: There is an option to rent movies. You have to purchase it and then you can watch it in your computer while you are connected to the internet.
- YouTube Mobile: There is an app that you can get for your smart phone and watch videos there.
- Captions/Subtitles: You can select a setting in which you can watch the videos with subtitle of any language.
- 3D: You can watch videos in 3D if you own a pair of 3D glasses.
- Recommended for you: Youtube recommends videos and channels to you depending on what you watch and to who you are subscribe to.
2. What else can Google do for users?
Youtube can improve the time it takes for a video to charge. Also it can change the setting in which you cannot watch some videos if you are in a certain country. That bothers me a lot.
3. How could this tools be useful to teachers and students?
This tool is useful for teacher because they can find videos as an example of what they are teaching so their students can understand the topic better. Students can use them for projects, and also to understand what the teachers taught them better if they didn't understand in the class.
4. How does it relate to CNG?
Youtube works for CNG because it can help teachers explain their lessons in interesting videos. Also, it allows students to have a bigger source of information were they can find videos about the topics they learn in their classes and it can help them with their homework instead of having the only option of communicating with the teacher via email.
Youtube edu:
1. What is this?
1. What is this?
It gives access to a educational videos to schools and universities.

Questions:
- What was it like living in that area?
- Are there many facilities?
- Which courses did you take?
- etc.
Goal 3:
http://www.risd.edu/Admissions/FAQs_Info/
The AP courses that you take in High School are accepted as a credit. If you pass the art history exam, you will get three credits and you don't have to take Art and Architecture History I which is a required course. If you pass the English Literature and Composition exam, you will get three credits and you don't have to take English Composition and Literature which is a required course.

Goals:
1. In what rank is the university RISD on?
2. What programs does this university have?
3. Cost and acceptance?
Research:
- First Goal:

White Hat Hacking
White hat hacking
What I know:
- I don't know anything about this topic. The only thing I can infer about it is that is a type of hacking.
Questions:
- What is white hat hacking? How does it work?
Links:
What I learned:
- White hat hackers are hackers who breaks the security with no harming intentions so they can improve the security.
- A competition was created so that white hat hackers were honest. This competition rewarded the ones who submitted the most information.
- It is very easy to hack because you can just get a software that will make the job for you.
- The white hat hackers are hired even by banks.
- There are also black hat hackers which are the ones with harmful intentions.
How the topic connects to my life:
- The topic connects to my life because everything has a good and a bad side but you have to choose one. So it relates because in life, you should probably do the honest thing. It is also a job because you are getting rewarded in a legal way instead of just hacking and probably sell it to the black market.
Questions I still have:
What if a white hat hacker doesn't submit the whole information and uses it for other harmful and beneficent intentions? And what if they find out who it is?

Design Project day 5
Our project was thrown away.
-What was the biggest problem you encountered? How did you solve it?
Our biggest problem was that the ramp wasn't inclined so the balls couldn't go through the holes. we tried to lower the holes.
-When did you get your biggest "AH HA" idea? What was it?
Our biggest "AH HA" idea was when we thought of making a way that when you throw the ball, it will come back to you.
-Who in your group resisted new ideas the most and why?
Laura because she knew how to fix the project by putting tape in the right spots so the project wouldn't fall apart.
-What doubts did YOU have about the project and how did you overcome those doubts?
We thought that the carton where the holes were was going to fall. Also we though that the balls wouldn't go through the holes. We solved these doubts by making sure that the carton had a better support so we decided to put a stick so it would hold it up. With the balls, we tried to lower the carton and incline a little bit more the ramp.
-Who in your group played "devil's advocate" (a person who questions everything, even good ideas) and how did that help the process?
Paula because she was questioning a lot if the balls were going to go through the holes and come back to the person. She also questioned if the carton wasn't going to fall. That helped us a lot because it made us worry so we would try to make it better than it was before.
-What did you learn about yourself, teamwork, and the design process?
Myself: I learned about myself that I am very persistent on my work and also a little bit perfectionist.
Teamwork: Sometimes it is better to work in a team because you can listen to other point of views and ideas to make the product better. Also, you have an extra pair of hands so you finish faster and easier.
Design Project: It is very difficult to design a project because you have it all planned and perfect in your head but when you try to make it, you end up making a different thing because it is more difficult than it seems.
Thursday, February 14, 2013
Design Project Day 2
1. - The model that has the most strengths is Paula's (front view) and my drawing (side view).
- Some details we should include is: The glitter on the skeeball so it attracts girls. The way the ball goes in the holes. And all the decoration.
- We won't take anything away.
The good comments about are project was that it was very challenging and creative. The structure was very well created.
The things we could improve were the holes and the ball so it is more interesting and fun to play.

Tech Tool Evaluation
First Tech Tool Link: polleverywhere
-Three Things I Liked:
1. It is very easy and clear to make a poll.
2. You have the options to let people vote more than 1 time or only 1 time. I think it is better if they vote only 1 time because then your data will be more exact.
3. It is very good that the charts are actively updated. Like as soon as someone votes, it is updated.
-Three Things I Think That Are Drawbacks:
1. It has the option to vote through text message and I think it is a little bit dumb because I doubt that people will waste their phone salary to send a text message so they can vote for a poll.
2. It works only in the USA.
3. You only have one free trial and then you have to buy it.
-Two Ways I Can Use This Tool:
1. To gather opinions from different people about something specific like for example: what is ice cream flavor do you like the most? And then people will choose the flavor they like the best.
2. You can also see the quantity of people that have something or another thing like for example: do you have blue eyes, green eyes or brown eyes? Then each person will choose the eye color they have and you will know what is the most common color.
Second Tech Tool Link: philterit
-Three Things I Liked:
1. All the logos of all the brands will show in your email when you receive an email from each brand.
2. It's free.
3. You can easily install it in your computer.
-Three Things I Think That Are Drawbacks:
1. You have to download it so it will take up space in your computer.
2. When you install it, you have to follow directions very carefully because if you do something wrong, it won't work.
3. You can't use it in smartphones.
-Two Ways I Can Use This Tool:
1. Organizing your mail visually.
2. Organizing your mail by brands.

Google Day 5 (Last Day)
I decided to not do a music video because it is very complicated to find someone who is willing to sing infront of the class. I decided I am going to try to make a music video of the song "Red" by Taylor Swift with other videos of her. If it is impossible, I will take a music video that is already created and make a cooler version of it.

Google Day 4
Goals:
- Make the script and put every effect I have learned in the video.
Script: "Red" by Taylor Swift (Sofia Aldana is going to sing it)
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
Faster than the wind
Passionate as sin, ended so suddenly
(Singing in a car, and videos of a Maserati going fast)
Loving him is like trying to change your mind
Once you’re already flying through the free fall
(Looking at the sky, birds flying)
Like the colors in autumn
So bright just before they lose it all
(Her singning and behind her trees in autum)
Video of trees: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMg3w9Zcthg
Losing him was blue like I’d never known
(Dressed blue and blue video)
Missing him was dark grey all alone
(Dressed grey and grey video)
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
(See a picture with a question mark in it)
But loving him was red
(Dressed red and red video)
Loving him was red
(Dressed red and takes out a red book)
Touching him is like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
(Video of holding hands and looks at a picture of him)
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
(Green Screen like notes with her in the front)

Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there’s no right answer
(Frustrated solving a crossword puzzle)
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out love could be that strong
(Stop what she is doing and sing)
Losing him was blue like I’d never known
(Dressed blue and blue video)
Missing him was dark grey all alone
(Dressed grey and grey video)
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
(See a picture with a question mark in it)
But loving him was red
(Dressed red and red video)
Oh red burning red
(Dressed red singing)
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
(She is thinking and then a lot of images go through her mind)Tell myself it’s time now, gotta let goBut moving on from him is impossibleWhen I still see it all in my head(Singing to the camera)Burning red(throws a photo to the fire, then zoom in the fire)Darling it was red(sings to the camera)Oh, losing him was blue like I’d never known(walking, singing, wearing blue)Missing him was dark grey all alone(walking, singing, wearing grey)Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met(walking, singing, wearing white)Cause loving him was red yeah yeah redWe're burning red(singing wearing red)And that's why he's spinning round in my head(in the things that spin in the playground)Comes back to me burning redYeah yeah(lying down singing)
Cause love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street(singing, film in the front part of the car)

Google Day 3
Goals:
- How to close up the video without zooming the camera while you are filming the video.
- Clips at the same time on screen
- Change color of the video
Close up the video:
I learned that with imovie you can use the key burns effect to zoom in, zoom out, crop, and fit.
Clips at the same time on screen:
This video helped me learn how to put 4 clips at the same time on screen using imovie
Change color of the video:
I learned how to change videos and colors to make a 3D Effect
I learned how to change the color of the video as many times as I want.
What I learned:
Today I learned that you can close up a video while your editing your video instead of having to do it while you are filming it. Another thing I learned was how to put as many clips as I want on the same screen. The last thing I learned today was changing the color of the video so the viewer will find it more interesting. The best part is that I can use all of these effects on imovie.
Next class...
I want to start doing my script and choose all the effects I want to include in my video.

Google Day 2
Goals:
- Change the velocity of the video.
- How to clone things in a video
- Green screen effect
Change the velocity of the video:
This is an easy way to change the speed in a video using imovie.
How to clone things in a video:
This link helped me a lot because I think it is very cool to clone things in a video and it is easy because you can do it on imovie.
Green screen effect:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=ChlFYd4FN3s&feature=endscreen
This link helped me a lot because it is very specific and detailed explanation about making the green screen effect in imovie. I love to use imovie so it is a very helpful tip.
What I learned:
Today I learned that you can change speed, clone, and add green screen effects in imovie. This is a great thing because I usually use imovie to make my video editing. I didn't know that you could do all these things in one single program. I also learned that it is very easy because it is just like inserting videos and customizing them.
Next class...
I want to learn how to close up the video without zooming the camera while you are filming the video. Also, I want to learn how to mix two images together for transition.
