Technology has helped me as a student because for one, I'm much better with using technology. It has also helped me because I got to finish my work quicker and faster like if I need to make a word document I can do it on Google Docs and send it to my teacher. I've done very well in our science class technology class. I've kept up and I excelled in the learning of technology. What I did well was my blogs. In our blogs, I learned how to use some good websites, another way of communication on line, and I learned a lot of science by working on blogs. Since I gave my best, I don't think I could have done anything better. My suggestion for blogging in the future is to have teammates post questions, and their teammates can research it and comment answers. That way they all learn something new.

The oil spill I am writing about is the Ixtoc 1 spill. The reason why this oil spill occured is because the Ixtoc 1 oil well suffered a blow out(uncontrollable release of crude oil after the pressure systems fail). Cause of the spill: the crew workers were removing the pipe, mud flowed out and following the mud came oil and gas. The oil and gas met the operating pump motors which exploded and caused a fire. The location of the spill was in the Bay of Campeche off Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico. The type of oil that was leaking was a heavy crude oil because it came from deeper within the ocean's floor. The amount of oil that leaked in this spill was about 140,000,000 gallons. Another fact I learned was that this spill was and still is ranked the largest oil spill ever. I also learned that this spill was hard to clean up because it mixed in with the water and became a thick liquid.

Comment for Reesha Taylor:I agree with Tinkerbell. What influenced you to become an engineer. You did a nice job though. But you needed a little more detail.

Comment for Jhoel Lemus:Nice job Jhoel. You were very descriptive. You did good.

Some of the careers engineers are involved in are involved in includes working with mechanics, the environment, and marine and ocean life. These careers all show a different side to engineering. They also take us a little deeper into the many different qualities engineering can give. In mechanical engineering you can create new inventions, ranging from toys to car engines. In environmental engineering you can come up with new ways to help save the environment and keeping it safe. In marine engineering you can make boats and anything else that deals with the ocean. If I had to choose between any careers in engineering, I'd choose environmental engineering because then I could come up with ways to save the earth. But I don't really want to become an engineer.

Comment 1:Reesha Taylor: Hi Reesha. Nice idea.It could be really useful to our class. You made a spelling mistake though.

Comment 2:Jose Carranza:Hey Jose. You were very descriptive. I can tell you read the blog carefully. Good job.

Schools are using blogs for learning purposes. If a child didn't understand his/her school work that day they can go to the class' blog and read it over to try and understand the work. They are also using the blogs to post projects. I looked at the blog for Mrs.Stoddart and saw she posted up reminders for her class and also some different science topics. Some ideas I found for using blogger in class was to help us with science. We have different topics to write about ( related to science) and I've noticed it has helped our understanding of science. Some ideas I have for blogger in class is for those with questions to post those questions as blogs. Then people can look on them and leave their answers as comments. It's a way for communication, learning, and help at the same time.

Comment 1: Jhoel Lemus: I can relate to that actually. Nice job. You did great but with a spelling mistake though. You spelled influenced wrong.

Comment 2: Queen Divine:Hey Queen. I understand what you are saying. This paragraph would be excellent if not for spelling mistakes. Good job though.

Cycle 2_Week 5 Post 1

The technology we use in school has influenced me to learn a little bit more on how to communicate with technology. During our technology session, we made emails to help understand our science assignments. Blogging has not improved my writing. Blogging is just another form of writing. It's not like an entire vocab improvement book. Blogging did help me on the NJ ASK because of the assignments we had to write on. We had to type on different science related subjects. It helped me to remember some science materials we studied but other than that nothing. The technology we used in class did connect me with me classmates and such. Ex. IGoogle, chat, blogs. These are my thoughts on our session in technology. My overall experience was fun.
