REFLECTION_TINKER BALL

Today i played the tinker ball game. I played it on the invention game. It was
a fun game. The main idea of the game is to get the ball into the cup using different
items to get it in. You can rotate the items and  place them where ever you want as
long as it gets into the cup. With me it took about three times to get it right. I used
a wooden item with a screw, two tunnels. a gear, and a hockey stick. The first time i
put everything together it didn't work because i didn't have enough items.
Then the second time i did it i almost had it but not quite. The third and final time i did
it i rotated and moved things around then released the ball and it work. Yay! That was fun.

what i learned from about power points

i learned  that it is a presentation graphic package. it's helps you to present
a profeessional power point. you can make presentations, slides, speaker notes,
handouts, and outlines with power points. i learned that place holders are there
to help you format items to be added to your presentation. i leraned that task
panes are a list of power point commands. i leraned how to use a place holder
for a power point. i leraned the quickest way to play your slides is by clicking the
slide show button. i learned that if you want to get out your power point just
click the esc.(escape) button. i learned that there are 27 different slide layouts
 from the task panal. and i learned how to add a new slide by clicking on new slide.

what i learned from the wind turbine

What i from the wind turbine project is all the steps of the design process .
I learned about the positive effects of a wind turbine and how that it offers a alternative
source for energy . And it offers a cleaner way of fuel. I also learned that wind turbines,
although good for the economy, have negative effects like: noise pollution, and are bad for birds.
I learned how wind turbines work and how and they  benefit the economy. I learned how wind turbines convert kinetic energy to mechanical energy , and how by positioning the blades a certain way it can determine if  the turbine moves clock-wise or counter clock-wise.

 i really don't like blogging like that but it was a nice experience to make a blog. i lerarned that bloggs are an outlet for people who want and can talk about anything they want to. a blogg is something that people use as freedom of speech. it can be used to talk about politics school\business related topics, and bloggs are a good way to help promote things and help people get a real feel;ing of how somebody  views a topic. and you can understand people and their lives by reading their blogg so in actuality bloggs help conect people through tecnology with others around the world.
