The process of sharing our project began after my group and I basically adopted a theme we were all interested in. It wasn’t that hard to come up with a theme because we were all shifting towards the same thing. After combining our ideas, we came up with the theme of technology. In upcoming weeks we did our blog posts individually, helping each other as the week went on.

The experience was pretty confusing but was overall a pretty good experience. We all pretty much knew each other so it wasn’t that difficult to communicate.

After presenting, I learned that preparation is key. In order to deliver a good presentation, you have to know your audience and adjust your topics among their interests.

I enjoyed watching everyone’s presentation. Everyone’s presentation were interesting and had topics that drew me in. Many were funny, which kept me awake.

The overall experience was pretty cool. The topics my peers had chosen were attractive and helped me learn about things I didn’t really pay attention to.

1. Our group’s presentation was not too complicated, we just picked random articles to share articles. Also, the person who blogged about the article, read the article.
2. Overall, I thought the presentations were fine but I was a bit nervous.  I would have done much better if I wasn’t nervous because I already knew what to say before we got up and presented.
3. I learned that I still need to work on presenting and public speaking.  I believe that as I get more experience presenting, the better and more comfortable I will become.
4. First, I tried to understand what their presentation was about.  Then, I tried to see if both their articles and pictures related with their topics.
5. Watching my peers was both entertaining and interesting because there were some funny presentations and there were also presentations that were about something that I already followed.
6. I learned many different things from all of the presentations.  For example, I learned about things like technology, food, and sports.  They all were very easy to learn form because they were topics I was interested in.

1) The sharing process was based on whoever did the articles. I presented each of the articles I wrote myself, and my group members did their own. We basically reread our own articles a few times to try to present without looking at our site.

2) The experience was good since we all need practice presenting for future classes or jobs we might take. Presenting the project sort of helps get rid of stage fright.

3) I learned that presenting isn’t always easy. At times I forgot some information so I had to look at the site to help my memory.

4) I think my peers did well and had fun presenting. No one seemed nervous and they were ready to present the moment they were called up. It’s good for experience because you can see and compare your presenting skills with others.

5) The experience overall was fun. You get to see how others present and it’s always entertaining when presenters crack a joke.  And again it’s always good to present to get some experience for future classes or jobs.

6) I learned about the events and news the class presented on. Many of them went to the club fair, which I didn’t go, but I sort of understand how the event went after they explained it. As for the news, I learned about things that I haven’t seen on TV, and it’s always nice to be kept up to date with news.

The process of sharing our project began after my group and I created a Facebook page to discuss the theme of our project. It was hard to think of a theme. After spending many hours researching articles we finally decided on the theme of education. In the following weeks we did our blog posts, went to the Club Fair, and made the blog site. Finally presentation day arrived and we presented our project individually by taking turns.

The experience was awkward and confusing at first. We didn’t really communicate until the blog post assignment, which was posted three weeks before the project. However, as time passed we got to know each other better and felt more comfortable discussing the project.

After presenting, I learned that I need to improve my presentation skills. I didn’t have eye contact with all of the audience and could have used hand gestures to make my presentations more effective.

I enjoyed watching my peers present. The presentations were funny and interesting at the same time. My peers did a great job presenting. They were effective at picking interesting topics and showcased new information to me.

The overall experience was delightful. I was interest in every presentation. The topics my peers had chosen were appealing and open my eyes to things which I never knew about.

From my peers presentations I learned about many interesting things. I learned more about the rivalry between Facebook and Twitter. Additionally, I learned about the process of making a marshmallow. Overall, the presentations developed my interest into new topics which I may research about in the future.

  I learned a lot of new things that are occurring in the world currently.

There has always been the problem of people balding. Either from genetics or just plain bad luck. But now, scientists have found a new way to grow hair, that can treat baldness. This technique has only been tested on mice but its managed to grow hair on human skin grafted onto animals.  Transplants can only  move hair follicles the back of the head to the front , but does not increase the amount. Success is small right now however, at the moment they are only getting a few hair’s . Introducing new hair is challenging, but this practice might not be far off.

This article talks about the Japanese telecommunications provider, Softbank buying a little more than half of the Swedish mobile video game developing company Supercell.  Supercell is responsible for the successful titles Clash of Clans and Hay Day. Softbank most likely engaged in this risky transaction due to the growing popularity of mobile games, especially in Asia where they are an alternative to traditional console gaming, where the governments have embarked on heavy censorships of games they deem unsuitable for children. Another reason is that mobile games are more accessible and relatively cost less than that of console video game that allows the player to play while on the go wherever they may be.

In Nevada a Middle school student shot and killed his math teacher. He then shot himself afterwards . The teacher was only trying to protect the other students from the armed boy. The teacher is Michael Landsberry , he is a military veteran with a wife and 2 stepdaughters. As of right now it is not clear why the shooting started. The Governor of Nevada , released a statement that he was “Deeply saddened to learn of the horrific shooting”  This event was truly tragic, that no one wanted. All middle schools in Washoe County has implemented a “safe zone” policy which allows any student who feel threatened to go to a designated classroom staffed by a teacher.

This article talks about keeping penguins outside and how it will affect them. Zoo penguins are threatened by malaria. If this is left untreated, the disease will kill at least half of the penguins it infects. Despite how bad it seems, it doesn’t affect us humans. Dr. Paul P. Calle, chief of veterinarian for the Wildlife  Conservation Society says that because mosquitoes that carry malaria, tend to bite birds or reptiles and not mammals. The zoo has to dose the birds with pills in the summer to make sure that they will survive.

The world views the moon jellyfish as a problem to the environment. They invade ecosystems, and are a pain to swimmers. American researchers however are saying that they may be the most efficient swimmers on the planet. Scientists are saying that the moon jellyfish has a 2 phase swimming motion. In the first stage the jelly contracts its open bell and pushes water behind it, it would then return to its original shape and fill water again. This finding would be useful to the Navy, using such a low energy- high efficiency thrust.
