Lawsuit against Google.

This article talks about google and the invasion of privacy that it brings. Four college students at UC Berkeley was sick and tired of google always invading their privacy so they filed a lawsuit on Google. Inc. In the end as the lawsuit went on google states that educational use was being invading. All of the four students received 10,000 dollars. Except one student did not think that was enough and states that it was not fair that Google got away with invading personal privacy.

I would be just like the student. Even though the students got paid, google is still getting away with invading people's personal privacy. I personally do not want google invading my privacy. What is even the point? Why in the world would they want to invade peoples privacy. In the end people are constantly getting mad at them and suing them.

#9 Google

In this article it informs you on what google has been doing. Google and chrome have been invading students privacy for quiet sometimes. They have been warned to give students privacy, but the article states that google did not get the hint. In 2012, had to pay up to $22.5 million because they broke their privacy contract. In the end google agreed to period privacy for adults as part of a settlement.

My personal opinion on this article is that I think that this is completely wrong of google. I personally do want anyone invading me every single time that I get on google. I believe that everyone is entitled to their on privacy and no one needs to be invading the privacy of others. So why in the world is google wanting to invade private of people? I believe that they would freak out if we invaded their privacy.

Life on Mars

When we think of sMars we think of just a red planet in the sky that has no life on it. We think of a planet that has nothing on it, with no water, and no people. This article proved otherwise. On this mission a crew set from Hawaii going to live on sMars. They lived on sMars for quiet awhile and learned how to live without all the necessities that earth provides. Living on Mars the crew learned how to communicate differently with people, and with people on Earth. The crew living on Mars also had to learn how to live on a planet with no life. Living on Mars they had to live in a dome that was kept sealed. They were not allowed to walk out the door every time they wanted to. I believe that this article was so cool because you learned a lot about all the position of the crew members that lived on Mars, and what they had to do to live on the planet for so long. I believe that it was also cool that the crew had to wait a while to communicate with people on earth.

IPADS IN THE CLASSROOM

In the article "What does research really say about iPads in the classroom?" they talk about the use of iPads that are being used in the classroom. The article talks about how professors automatically assume that student teachers know how to use technology and iPads. The results show that student teachers do not know a lot about teaching with iPads and technology. New teachers are also not professionally trained to teach their student first on how to use the iPads. Teachers only have the time teach, and allows the students naturally to get on the iPad when the students have free time

I personally believe that teachers need to learn more about teaching with iPads. I believe that kids now days kids can work an iPad better than most adults. I believe that when you give a student a iPad that the child will automatically be wanting to play games, but if you make your learning interesting then the child will want to learn. I believe that it would also be fun for students if sometimes you turn your lesson into lessons that goes toward technology. In the end kids will learn lessons, learn more about iPads, and no more about downloading apps, etc.

John Hunter

John Hunter is a very smart man. When he got the job as a gifted teacher John Hunter wanted to teach how he wanted to teach. When he asked his employers what they wanted him to do they said, " What do you want to do." John Hunter wanted to be a teacher that the kids loved and that the kids wanted to be with. John Hunter taught with much love and inspiration. He took the inspiration and love from his past like his mom, his father, and his teachers and wanted to teach his students with that inspiration and love. With John Hunter's inspiration he did not want to be a boring teacher. He created a game called, The World Peace Game. The World Peace Game was based on the wisdom table that was in the principals office. The World Peace Game engaged students to learn history, world peace, global warming, science, countries, armed forces, policies, etc. During the game you are being taught but you are also having fun. If the students come to a point in the game where they do not know what to do, John Hunter has taught them not to ask him but to figure it out themselves. The World Peace Game teaches the students how to get out of a bind. In each World Peace game each of the students finish the game feeling different things, but most of the time they feel like have conquered.

Top 10

In the new article, 10 Most Engaging Uses of Tech Integration, the author gives 10 great examples of how to engage students with tech. The article talks about how teachers need to know how to use tech, not tech geeks that know how to teach. The 10 things that the article talks about are 10 things that get the attention of teens today but also engages them. One of the 10 things is audio feedback. audio feedback can be a teacher or a student allowing them to engage and get personal through audio or video. This is a great way because teachers and students have proven that it can be more informational.

In this article, it list the many ways to engage students using tech. I personally loved when the author talked about social media. Social media is a great hunk of teens life in today's time. It is very smart when teachers allow students to engage in learning by using social media. Social media has been proven to have a positive correlation with teens today!

Tracking Emotions and Mindsets

Many researchers have tested many students on their emotions, mindsets, personality traits, and cognitive processes. Many of these test were based on the students facial expressions, heart rate, posture, and many more traits. Many of the researches took these test and saw the interest and boredom that each student had. Emotions and personality traits have a powerful influence on how students learn. The article also states that there were many things that happened in a classroom and labs that you cannot gather from a webcam or online classes. Teachers can see more emotions, mindsets, and personality in person. Many teachers do not know who you are when they teach you on a webcam or a online class. Teachers do not know how nervous you are to take a test, how excited you are to turn in a paper, and how glad you are when class is over.

I agree with the article. The research that has been tested were correct in my eyes. When you are sitting in a class, your teachers can see the emotions, mindsets, and your personality. I have taken many online classes, and I did not even feel that I was in a classroom. I did not get to talk to my teacher and  I did not get to see the other students emotions and personalities. I most certainly did not get to meet people.  In classrooms and labs you are see the teachers emotions, personalities, and mindsets by the way they act. These traits can be so helpful.
