A virtual tour is a tour that allows people to use laptops or ipads / phone's to take a virtual, self-guided, room by room tour of any place they wish to have a look at. The highlights of having virtual tours are that you don't need to leave the comfort of your home and if you are someone that doesn't like to walk around for hours this is perfect for you. In each room there is different videos and things to read all about the place and most of them are in 3D which is really cool. I think that virtual is an awesome Idea because you get to see place that you may not be able to go because of some reason most of the tours are in good quality not blurry or anything like that, A problem with virtual tours are that on some tours they are only black and white or it is Blurry and sometimes you can only look around in one area not move on and look at a different place. I really liked the virtual tour of New York time square because I have always wanted to go there and the tour just gave me a better image of it. So in conclusion I think that a Virtual tour is a great idea it just needs to fix some things and it will be good to go.

My trip to girls collage.

Today we had our visit to Tauranga Girls College. I learned a lot about TGC and I got a lot of the questions I was thinking about answered, I don't think I will get as lost now not saying I won't get lost because come on it's me we are talking about anyway I am really excited about making new friends, the sports and also seeing my old friends and friends that go to other schools. I am kinda upset that it's an all girl school because I have some really good guy friends that I like to hang out with but that's alright. Today my group meet the head girl for next year, the art leader, deputy head girl and sports caption. In the future I hope to be one of those girls. We had really nice girls that showed us around the school so all in all I had a really good day.  Some of the questions I had were, what do we do for pe? the answer was all different sport, my second one was what do we do with our bags? the answer was you have to carry them around EVERYWHERE my poor back. To be honest the school isn't as big as I thought it would be but it still is pretty big. I LOVED THE LIBARY it was awesome there was lots of books.

SAYING THE WRONG THING

Give your opinion on what happened here. Explain your opinion in full.

I think that even know he unintentionally offended Lorde it is still really mean and he should learn to keep his opinion to himself.




Think of a time you ‘put your foot in your mouth’ (said the wrong thing and unintentionally offended someone)? What happened?

My Auntie had just brought a new house and she was in the kitchen and I was like "do you even need a kitchen" she got a bit offended but I said sorry and it was algud.

Has advancing technology helped or hurt us?

Do you think advancing technology has helped or hurt us

I think that there is good things about technology but there is also some bad things.

Helping

I think that technology helps in schools, businesses, hospitals and community and it saves trees. Technology is fast and easy to work so it doesn't waste your time it's also helpful to all ages for example in schools teachers are using technology to help there kids with research and making learning more fun and 2400 trees where saved because of it.

Hurt us 

On the down side of technology it uses so much power and it causes people to become lazy and because of that they become fat which is not good also lots of people are getting bullied on social websites like facebook  for example there has been 1 million suicides this year due to tech.



In conclusion I think that technology can be good sometimes but not so much other times. I think that it does help us in lots of ways but also it hurts us.

Life ed summary

7 step ladder

In life ed I learned about the 7 step ladder. The 7 step ladder is a ladder of puberty, it takes 7 years to go though puberty. Normally you start puberty around the ages of 10 and 15, it is like your brain runs an imaginary tape measure over your body and if everything is good the brains tells the pituitary gland to begin releasing the hormones.  

Delay the decision

Also in life ed we learned to delay the decision which means that if you are thinking about taking drugs or stuff like that, what until after puberty too or even then wait till your brain is fully grown which is about that the age of 25 and even then make sure you make a wise choice because it can change your life for ever.

how do drugs affect your brain.

Mr J mice 

m = Memoryr = Reasoningj = Judgment m =Mechanical skillsi = Intellect c = Concentration e = Emotions 

They are all things that get affect when you take drugs. Your brain memory is split into 4 different spaces, First is future thinking  then todays thinking then short term memory and long term memory. When you take drugs your short term memory and future thinking gets affected.

Here is a story that we heard about in life ed. 

There was a girl that lied to her parents and went out with her friends to a club, she had to much to drink so her friends ditched her because she was slowing them down, she was found unconscious in the back of a random car, she was rushed off to hospital, she was ok but it was still really silly thing she did.

Translation

Explain what a translation is 

A translation is an object that changes its position but not its size or shape. 

Explain how a vector works. What does it look like? What does the top number indicate? 

A vector is numbers in brackets ( ) that moves the shape up or down left or right

the top number is left or right, you move it left if it is a negative number - and right if it's positive.

What does the bottom number indicate?

The bottom number indicate if the shape goes up or down

if it goes down then it must be a negative number and if it goes up it a positive.

Give a real life example of when translation is used. 

You use translation when you are in a elevator because you go up or down
