advice to parents 

- do not get in to your kids accounts unless you think it is totally necessary. If it isn't they will get really bothered and your relationship may suffer. you should also put some rules that involve the time they will be in and  what they can see. if you want you can add them as a friend on facebook but don't worry if they don accept you they just want privacy. 

unlike topic 

- for me the most unlike thing would be someone killing thyeirself this has never happened to me.

Swiss school


Sumas:
This is a school that gives special and different courses even though they are the same they add sustainability and this is what makes the difference.

 Sustainable consumption & production:
This video shows how an organization is trying to alert the public to use eco-friendly products so that this industry can grow.

An Inconvenient Truth:
This video is a trailer from a movie that talks about global warming how we stated it and how it is going to impact us in the future.

Video 4 and 5 was about some European engineers that invented a plane that flies on clean solar energy. In the first one they were talking to the graduates of a university and they gave them some really good tips for life and they explained their proses. In the last video they show their first flight and all the complications and difficulties they had but at the end everything went well.  

Sustainability can easily be used in our country. I think that the best place to start would be in the motor industry. It is the main cause of global warming in Colombia and we could start using solar energy.

Alpina:
Alpina has generated a 7 point list of goals they want to achieve to improve their sustainability they are:
#1: try to have a good relationship with everyone
#2: improve business for actionists and consumers
#3: good working environment
#4 conserves the geography and prevents global warming
#5 all products are nutritious  
#6: sustainable business
#7: good relationship and treatment for all consumers (equally)
Most of alpinas points are more to the side of having good relationships I like this but I would also like to see more points that talk about global warming.

Google Day # 3/ presentation


Goals:












Research universities that have my Major 




Texas Tech University &Purdue University:
This Universities are good for me because it has the major I like they also have golf division one and the GPA is perfect for me. The location and the buildings are very good


This Naviance link helped me get the best universities for me 
















WHAT I AM GOING TO PUT IN THE VIDEO:










This Universities are good for me because it has the major I like they also have golf division one and the GPA is perfect for me. The location and the buildings are very good.


The good thing is that most universities in the U.S. have these courses

To get started you need a big capital but after that if you make decisions you will win a lot of money.

It is a big risk and you can lose a lot of money

Money will vary depending on the job

Major I choose: the career I chose is stock broker. After searching and looking at different options of careers I chose this one mainly because I feel it is really what I want to do but also because if you do this in a low scale you can also have many other businesses.

If you study business and marketing you can also preform different jobs it can open many doors.

phishing


What you know about the topic before your research:
I don’t know anything.

-What you wonder or questions you have about the topic before researching:
How can you do it?
How to prevent from falling

-Links to where you found the most useful information:

http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/P/phishing.html

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_phishing

http://www.infosecisland.com/blogview/4070-10-Ways-To-Prevent-Phishing.html

Bullet list of things you learned about the topic:

Be suspicious of any email with urgent requests for personal financial information.

 To prevent from being a victim ensure that your browser is up to date and security patches applied

It can be any web page

Some web browsers have anti phishing features that may help you.

It means: to try to obtain financial or other confidential information from Internet users


This topic connects and relates to my life in different ways the most important fact is that I use the internet regularly every day and now I know phishing exists. Now that I know that it exists I can start using internet safely because now I know how to detect the suspicious behavior.


One question I still have is if they can hack the real link to make it their own.

Design project day 5


One of the biggest problems we encountered was making it stay straight this was hard because the material was really week. To make it work we got a wooden stick and placed it in the middle of the game this was a perfect solution. This was also our best idea without that wooden stick the whole project would have collapsed. I think that Lorenzo was the one that gave most of the ideas and he probably was the one that worked the hardest. Our biggest doubt was will it be fun and we just realized that we had done the best we could so we should not be afraid of what others would think. I was the one who played the "devil's advocate" because at the beginning I really thought everything was going to wrong so I used to question all the ideas. I learned how to work with new people have fun and still get the job done.

aeiotu


Ayer fuimos a la fundación de aeiotu es muy chévere y están haciendo una labor muy buena. Hablando con una trabajadora de haya nos contó que desde que nacen ellos van a las casas y les ensenan cosas para que cuando entren más tarde ya conozcan las rutinas. A mí me toco archivar todos los papeles de los estudiantes ahí podía ver los trabajos de los papas su edad y muchas cosas más voy a seguir haciendo esto hasta el miércoles el jueves y el viernes cambio de actividad

Ayer también me toco organizar los folders de los estudiantes termine con los aventureros que son los más pequeños de la fundación. Hoy me va a tocar estar con ellos o hacer cosas en la clase de arte. Que me tocaba hacer es chequear todos los portafolios de los niños y ver si tenían todo en orden como los papeles de la matrícula y los recibos de la luz. Esta fundación está haciendo una labor muy buena y están ayudando a muchas familias que los necesitan.

Ayer en aeiotu me cambiaron de actividad aunque fue dura fue muy productiva cuando llegamos yo y otros dos amigos fuimos al jardín a cuidar las matas podemos todo y luego quitamos una que había invadido tolo el jardín. Después fuimos a la carpintería y empezamos a construir un laberinto con madera es duro y no pudimos empezar bien por esto vamos a terminar hoy.


Ayer en aeiotu me toco con una clase. Con la profesora me pidió que armara unos tubos hechos de botellas recicladas.  Los quería para  hacer un juego con los niños.  Para hacerlas tuve que primero conseguir 16 botellas.  Después chequear que fueran del mismo tamaño. Después cortarlas en las dos puntas. Pegarlas con silicona y con cuerdas después las tenía que limpiar no termine yodo la profesora necesitaba 2 y nada más he hecho una termino la otra hoy

Hoy en la fundación aeiotu estuvimos con los estudiantes mi profesora me pidió que hiciera unos tubos. Después me toco colgarlo en el techo tuve que pedirle ayuda a varios amigos por que casi no puedo terminar después de colgarlas las armamos para que nada se cayera y pusimos los juguetes que querían adentro después me fui a las 11.

TO DO-Day 3


CHOOSE phase
They do match our game because  it is fun new and creative and I still believe this are the qualities that make things fun.

The idea that it is 2 games in one I think is the best and everyone is going to like it.

I think we have made our game as simple s we can if we take something off it will damage it.

IMPLEMENT phase

To do the project we have to first look at the drawing and do every part alone then put it together with nails and tape and construct it
Martin: gun
Lorenzo: tape
Carlos: nails candy

Epic Fails

·         long time without knowing what to do and had to start and start again the project because it was really bad

·         start recording voices and then forgot to save the recording, had to start again

·         laugh many times while recording had to to record again and again.

·         choosing a movie to use with the recording then we realize they didn't got along a take long time on finding movies.

List of Tool we Found Helpful:

 

Mac and  i movie: this help us to make our project in a faster and easier way because with the i movie program that is specific for videos and movies we got all the tools for an excellent presentation and we could also record our voices and put animations and special effects.

Google/YouTube: this both pages help us on our research of how to do a good video with special effects and excellent quality also answer our questions about the project

iTunes/movie: iTunes help us with our final decision on the limitless movie then we cut some scenes from this one and start putting things together in i movie.

 

List of useless things:

Movie Maker n PC:  This program was useless to us because of the slow it was and it was really difficult to use and 2 times the PC restart so we lost some info.  

 

Downloading pages for recording or doing videos: these other programs were useless because some came with viruses and were really difficult to handle also because you needed to downloaded you finish up downloading a lot of them because later you realize they are useless.
