For the final part of our Virtual Reality project, we will be putting them on display at the Maker Fare on December 3. Most likely will will have our project available to watch on cardboard so that people can see little demos. This would be a very productive way of displaying our projects because of how exciting and tedious the process of making this possible was. Hopefully we would be able to impress and even inspire others to see how the future could look with the use of VR. If we can get people;e to feel this way then we had done our jobs well. I think this will personally show my commitment to new ideas and ability to learn because of how new this idea of virtual reality is. Blog response English: This week we had learned the ideas of a philosopher named John Dewey. He had very unique ideas on how we view education and how it should be viewed. His ideas on education learned more on the student taking it upon themselves to learn things in a way that reflects who they are and how they want to learn. He is opposing the school's way of teaching because of how structured it is and how it makes students remember facts that kids are just expected to memorize, there is very little choice in how they can learn. This VR project follows the philosophy of Dewey in the sense that we had a lot of freedom to choose what we would want to contribute and how we wanted our final products to look. Blog response English: Today we watched a Ted Talk about motivation and how it can revolutionize the way we handle work in the business world and at school. It talked about how we use our own personal drive to get good at something we take pride in. Once a company tried something new, they had their employees have a more lax environment where they could feely work on whatever they want, how ever they want, with whoever they want. The result was amazing because of how much this practice had benefited the company in one day. The workers had come up with new products and made a lot of progress on projects that had. If we were to try this in a school environment then we would probably see something amazing happen. we woud be able to see more students take pride and have more passion in there school work and progress.

I was ultimately able to find out the issue was that my footage was too long and would have an error when downloading because of the large size, my videos are no smaller and have higher quality. Although it was frustrating when I would lose footage that I had been recording for 20 minutes.
10/7/2016 0 Comments Blog Post #3So far this virtual reality project has proven to be a challenging project that tests my patience, willingness to learn, and my willingness to adjust to new situations. So far my biggest problem would be the issue of using the 360fly camera because of the complications with editing videos. I have been watching many videos on how to solve this issue and I should be able to resolve it.
Although I am working constantly i always have to face the issue of distractions in the classroom, these distractions vary from friends, loud noises, and the other stressful things that can keep me from working productively. Currently i find quiet places with other students that share my problems and are willing to work productively. I feel like the people who work hardest are influencing more in the classroom. 9/30/2016 0 Comments Post #2Engineering: This week he had a read an article about how the world is changing and how the technology we use changes with us. One of the predictions in the reading was about self driving cars, this is a massive breakthrough in the way we define our means of transportation, in a way we are giving up control of the way we get around and trusting it to our wont technology.
Job Project: This week we had a job fair, this means that we have to negotiate with project leaders and tell them why I would be perfect for their project group. I thought that this was a fairly authentic way to simulate the competitive environment of the job market. 9/30/2016 0 Comments Blog Post #1Engineering: This year I will be learning how to take a 360 video with a 360 camera. I have never worked with 360 footage before so I will be trying to understand how to edit it. I need to have this understanding in order to have the project job of a videographer.
English: This week we have learned about political propaganda and how it is used. Propaganda use forms of doublespeak, this means that in a way they manipulate words in order to appeal to us in a certain way. Doublespeak is often used so much and sometimes we can tell when someone is influencing us, my question for this would be: do we have original ideas/ thoughts anymore. |
