How can we use the Internet to help us against natural disasters

Our Guiding question is: How can we use the Internet to help us against natural disasters?
Well the Internet has loads of sites on how we can protect ourselves from natural disasters. You can go on any search engine (I suggest google) and search on these sites. You can type, How to defend ourselves from hurricanes? on google and will come up with 1, 030,000 pages about this topic. The first link might not be what you are looking for, but keep going on. In this case they do give info about this topic. Click here for the first link. This site shows us what FEMA offered for us about defending ourselves from hurricanes.

The Design Cycle II

This is my second blog post about The Design Cycle. In this I will explain in more detail about the 4 stages of this. These 4 are Investigation, Plan, Create, Evaluate. In the Investigate section are supposed to Identify the problem, Develop the design brief, and Formulate a design specification. The Design Brief is where you briefly describe what you are going to do. The design specification is a rough draft of the plan you are going to do. Now lets move on to the plan. In the plan, you must design a solution to your problem and also you must plan on how you are going to do it. In the Create section, you must create what you have planned. You have to use appropriate techniques and equipment. Also you have to follow the plan. In the Evaluation section, you have to grade and write a reflection of your overall project. You also evaluate over how well you used the design cycle.
This is my blog post about the design cycle.

The Design the Cycle

The Design Cycle is a MYP technology is a way of organizing projects. There are 4 parts of this cycle, Investigate, Plan, Create and Evaluate. Investigation, is where you identify what you are going to do. Plan, is where you plan your work. Create is where you follow the plan you made and Evaluation, is where you grad the project and look over it, as well as evaluate the work.

Final Evaluation

Our original idea was actually to make our animoto with the pictures we got and then embed the photos to voice thread. When we tried to do that animoto did not let us so we could not do it. We uploaded new pictures and also we added voice. The weakness of our project was that our voice kept getting cut off and also it took us a little while to actually get the pictures again. Our strong points were that as soon as we finished we could upload the animoto and the voice thread immediately to our blogger. Our voice thread could be improved because we added text so we could have removed the text and also make our voice clearer. For the voice thread we could have also embedded the pictures from animoto into our voice thread. Overall this unit was actually quite fun because got to use something we can use again in the future for fun. I would recommend this project for the next year because they can also use this project and also they can use voice thread in the future for their selves as I will quite soon.

This is my Final Evaluation.

My Voice Thead

This is the last image on our voice thread. We have still not talked a about it but this is what we will say. From this phone you can access the internet without even opening the phone.

This is a blackberry phone. It is the second picture on our voice thread. As you can see on the screen you can see the GPS which will help you in geography. it will help because you can find anyplace and study any part of the world

My first voice thread picture

This is my first picture on my voice thread. This is a Nokia N95 phone. It has a good internet so it is like a laptop but smaller and without Microsoft word.

My Voice Thread 2

We have not finished are voice thread because our voice thread did not open. We have completed most of it and only need to talk about our last picture. Therefore we cannot present. I tried open it at home but it did not work either.

My Voice Thread

Well in our voice thread we have mobile phones which can help you learn. They all have internet capabilities which lets you go on the internet. Also they can be used as homework diaries like do home work. Have math homework etc. You can even go on wikipedia and Google. This is good because you don't have to go the multimedia labs to do work. We have uploaded all the pictures with the voice thread but the only problem is that it wont record our voice, but once we have fixed that we will be finished.

My animoto

Animoto

My animoto for I.T is about new technology that can be used for learning. Our technology is about mobiles. The phones are very good and can be used for learning. They have internet capabilities and also is child safe. These phones are the GPS phone and the Nokia N96 and other phones.

What is this phone used for

This phone could be used to help you find your way around a new country if you are lost, you could use the GPS system to do this. This could also be used for accessing the internet in order to find information. All students would not need one but ones that need the internet could use this phone. This could inprove the lesson because you would have more internet capabilities and more GPS systems to know your way around Qatar, this could have helped us in the first unit about Life in Qatar.

Nokia Nseries N95

This is a reccomended phone for everone. It is brilliant. It has the Internet, Photography, Live T.V, music and even A GPS system. This mobile is called Nokia N95.

INVESTIGATE

The technology we are doing are mobiles with internet and that can educate us. You can use it go on the internet instead of the computer. The GPS phone cost $40 to use the internet. The navigation costs about $30. The brand of this phone is Pharos. It could be used for learning at school because you can go on the internet using it and it also has google which is a major search website and will help at school.
