RSS Feeds

  1. Why did you select the sites you subscribed to?
  2. Was it easy to find feeds and to subscribe to them?
  3. Which sites were your favorites?
  4. What else can you use RSS feeds for?
  5. How likely are you to continue to use RSS feeds in the future?
 
  1. I selected these sites because I wanted to stay up-to-date with the world news, sports news, and government events.
  2. It was easy to find most of the feeds.
  3. My favorite sites were mainly the sports sites.  I liked the yankee site the most because baseball is my favorite sport.
  4. Anyone can use an RSS feed to help save time reading the most recent events on a site.  You can just read the title of the article and if it sounds interesting, you can just click on it and read it instead of; typing in the URL and looking throw all the articles.
  5. I am most likely not going to use RSS feeds in the future.

  2. The Creation of Baseball
  3. The material used in the first ball
  4. The wood used to make bats
  5. The creation of stats & how they work.
  6. The Negro Leagues and African Americans in baseball

The Smart Video technology utilizes the front-facing camera to track the viewer's eyes to automatically control playback of videos. For example, looking away from the phone will cause the video to pause and returning your gaze will resume the clippp.  In addition to the Smart Video feature, LG has introduced a dual-camera function that simultaneously snaps photos from the front-facing and rear cameras. Creating a picture-in-picture imagee, LG says this allows users to become part of the story and not just an observer.

Tech Article 3/4

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. The word "vitesse" means speed or velocity. This car reaches up to 200+ mph, therefore the "vitesse" was used apporpriately in the naming of this car. It has a 1200-bhp quad-turbo W-16 engine.  This propels the Super Sport to 268 mph, the current world record for a production car. The car will likely slingshot to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds. Although the car will likely be limited to just 258 mph for tire reasons.

Do Now 3/1

If I could go back in time, I would go to my last Little League All Star game.  I would change  the end of the game by fielding that last ground ball and throwing the runner out at the plate.  We would've went into extra innings and most likely won.  Then we would've gone to the District Finals for the second year in a row and could have won, that would make us the first Wood-Ridge Little League All Stars to win Districts back to back.

Do Now 2/19

I would make a class about baseball.  Students would be required to do research on past games such as The World Series or rivalries.  They would also read biographies and autobiographies on players.  They would have to do papers on the biographies they read.  They would also learn how to write out stats and keep track of a players stats over the course of the season. They will also keep up with all the news going on with players like trades, contract extensions or retirements.  This class would be an elective that could be taken any year the student pleases.  I believe it would be a fun and easy class that almost all students would enjoy.

My Weekend

This past weekend, there was a blizzard in New Jersey.  So I took advantage of the snow and went snowboarding.  Me and a few friends went to a local softball field where there is a ginormous hill.  We rode down it many times and had a lot of fun.  I can't wait to go back soon!
