Do Now 11/30

             Three people I am most grateful for in my life would be my mom, dad and my younger brother. I am most grateful for them because they have always helped me through the hard times. Every time I felt down my brother would always be there to cheer me up and tell me everything was going to be alright. Each time I didn't do so good on a school assignment my parents would be there to help me. I will always be most grateful for these three people because without them I would be nothing.
             The best Thanksgiving I have ever had would be Thanksgiving of 2014. This would probably be described as my best Thanksgiving I have ever had because it took place at my house and my favorite cousin came over that I didn't see in about a year. My mom prepared the food and table really well. My cousin came over and we ate like we have never eaten before. We then proceeded to go to my brothers room where we threw pillows all around and overall just had a good , after that we went up to my room played some video games on my xbox and then went outside to play basketball. After that my cousin left and I immediately fell asleep.
             My family and I usually prepare the table and the food in the living room. We set up all the plates, napkins, and glass cups a few hours before the guests arrive. We then prepare all the food and place it on the table so it is ready for the guest and lastly we bring out the Turkey and eat.

Fit App

Google on Thursday announced an update to its Fit app on Android. The health-tracking software will now provide real-time information on your walks, runs and bike rides. The Google Fit app will record your speed, pace, route, elevation and more using only your smartphone. This on top of its ability to already track steps, distance, active minutes, and calories burned throughout the day.

You will also be able to use Google Fit with your Android Wear smartwatch to track strength training. The software will able to detect activities like sit-ups, push-ups, and squats and then automatically add them to your daily workout stats. This is similar to functionality we have seen from third-party apps, such as Wear Fitness Personal Trainer.

Ten things I found that were incorrect/outdated on the Wood-Ridge High School Wikipedia would be...

• The page says that the principle is Dr. Sue DeNobile. When clearly our principle has been changed and is now Mr. Petrocelli.

• The Wikipedia website says that Wood-Ridge High School still does golfing. When actually Wood-Ridge High School haven't had golfing for years. 

• The Wiki says Wood-Ridge High Schools still has Tennis, but Wood-Ridge High School does not.

• The Wikipedia is missing Administration members, it says there are two Administration members when in fact there are many more.

• The number if students in the High School is outdated.

• Outdated student to teacher ratio.

• The name of the High School is incorrect it says it is Wood-Ridge High School when in fact the name is actually Wood-Ridge Jr./Sr. High School

Do Now 11/9

                During this 4 day break I didn't do much. A new video game was released, so of course I played it. Most of my weekend was me just sleeping in bed. I went to church hung out with my friends and played some basketball to kill the time. I was also able to celebrate my birthday party were I hung out  with my best friends and played basketball and video games.

                 In addition I spent a lot of my time watching YouTube videos from famous YouTuber's such as RomanAtWood,Ali-A, and more! Overall I was just lazy and did pretty much nothing. But it was a good break and I'm looking forward to many more!

New Shopping App

The newly added category is called Shopping, it includes apps that have to do with marketplaces, auctions, coupons, price comparisons, and other aspects of e-commerce. Apps for these retailers will be included in a "Save While You Shop" section within the new Shopping category. A “Shop for Everything” section featured at the top of the home page breaks up a large number of apps into further categories like “Shop for Cozy” or “Shop for Gifts” to provide a few extra help in tracking down the right types of apps for the products shoppers want to buy. Developers can now also assign the category to new apps and app updates alike.

Educational Technology and Copyright Law

                    As I read through Mark Brumley's article titled "Educational Technology and Copyright Law" I very quickly realized that Mark was explaining very clearly the purpose of copyrighting work and how to use a copyright file correctly. This article is very informational and helped me learn a lot about copyrighting. A few examples of what I learned would be...

• You do not need to file for copyrighting. The instant you create something it is copyrighted!
• You can use other peoples photos for educational purposes such as to present project during class
• Factors in determining if you used the work fairly includes the purpose of the use and the potential market value in it
