     Today in Tech lab we got to choose which game we wanted to play. My friends and I played Launchball. Lanchball is a series of challenges to get a ball in to a goal. It simulates the mind since I place special tools to guide the ball towards the goal. Some examples of the tools are: conveyor belts, batteries, copper, fans, magnets, and springs. Some of the games had a some sort of a challenge you had to surmount. Others were really easy.

Thursday Tech

In Tech lab today we went to BBC school two so we could practice some skills from school. Instead of Math like last week though, we focused on English and science. We would play the game and then do the quiz. Mainly I stayed on the English games, where I learned and reveiwed how to organize a report and use better vocabulary. Then I flipped over to science and did a sound game. That is what Tech lab was about.

Today in tech lab we used the same website as last week, only we did different activities on it. This time, it was about angles, measures, 2D shapes, and 3D shapes. Using interactive games, we solved different questions having to do with the topic. Then, after the game, we would take a quiz consisting of ten questions on the topic. I found out that I need to work on 3D shapes, more than everything else.

   What I learned (reviewed) in Tech lab was about mean, median, and mode. This even relates to what we are doing in class! I needed a little bit of work on median, and I got a little lesson on it yesterday. We even got to start on probability.These skills help people later in life with scores of twirlers doing their solos'. Also,

   Today in computer lab (tech lab) we played a virtual game called WFP. WFP is a game that sort of teaches people about the simulations that real people actually do. Some of the games you play, can be really tricky, but others are so simple you just have to follow the direction. There was about six games in total and each one of them was timed. The first game is where the player has to locate all of the stranded people, who have no food. The second you have to find the right amount of food for a nutricious meal. Third, you drop food into red ranges to get people their food. Next, you buy enough food to last about six months. Fifth, the player has to manuever the cars to deliver the food. I never made it to the last level though.In the end, I didn't know that it was actually real. That real suprised me!

          Today in Tech lab, Mr. Jost showed us a video about a really small computer, that just came out. It was only a microchip sort of computer, that you would plug in the computer, the mouse and keyboard, and a cell phone charger for energy. After the video, we visited BBC- KS3 Bitesize Maths, to practice our math skills. Sumanjit and I worked together and did some frations, integers, 3-D shapes, perimeter, and area. Each section was a revision, an activity, and a test. I passed almost all the tests, except on one I missed one and almost two. The last ten minutes of Tech lab, we went on a website that teaches math in games. I got to refresh some of the math skills in Tech lab, that I needed to work on.

Tech Lab

On Thursday, March 15th, we visited a few sites that are related to learning. Mr. Jost showed us some of the websites and explained what kind of subject or subjects each of them taught.One of the places was Khan Academy!!! Then, Mr.Jost  let us go to any of the websites he showed us. A couple friends and I, went to a website called Wonderopolis. Wonderopolis had a bunch of videos, that would teach you about that topic. I watched a couple, but one sounded really interesting to me. The title of it was "Can you grow candy corn?"  It really wasn't that interesting of a video though. We learned a lot in computer lab by looking at different learning websites.
