Class Evaluation

1.  Things that I like about this class: First and foremost, My favorite teacher Mr. Haymore. I liked starting out my mornings with him on even block schedule. I liked the assignments he gave us like computer science innovations posts, the Arete posts, and working with partners on the lesson worksheets. 

2. Things I did not like about this class: Where I was seated for most of the semester, and I hated doing presentations. I don't like talking in front of huge groups of people, because I get nervous, flustered, and I start stuttering. I was okay with the small group presentation for the flash talk project, I felt comfortable doing that. I just don't feel comfortable talking in front of the whole class, hopefully that will change next semester. I don't mind presenting just in front of Mr. Haymore because I can do that with confidence but I can't do it with the whole class. I also hate the drafting method I get so much anxiety.

3. Recommendations for improving class: Besides less presentations, none. I would enjoy writing in our life planning journals in class again please. And I would also like for us to have ctr card checks more often. Study guides for our assessments would be helpful. Everything else is just perfect.

4. Highlight for me in this class: Just listening to Mr. Haymore explain the lesson to us. Another highlight was that the class may have started out as challenging but as time went by I became more into it and it got easier so I'm glad. 
5. I think I almost did my best in this class. I could have studied more for my assessments and completed some assignments that I missed out on. Next semester I will put my all into it.
6. To qualify for college credit I will study diligently for the test that we will be submitting to the college board at the end of the year.
7. Of course I am reading my life planning goals for at least five minutes daily. I have missed out on reporting but I'll have to get back on that. I always add a victory each time I accomplish a goal. I really want to write at least 200 goals by the end of the next semester. 
8. I am so committed to being a CTR person. I am working hard to keep my grades up, I am hoping to get better at being nicer to the people that surround me, I am hoping to clean out my circle of friends and be involved with people that are only willing to choose the right, and lastly I am determined to stay away from the boys who don't benefit me and will lead me to choose the wrong because I know I don't deserve that. 

Innovation
Bionic plants
These bionic plants have carbon-nanotube-based nanoparticles in their leaves that give off infrared light and are sensitive to the presence of nitroaromatics, and key components of several explosives.
This innovation can impact anyone since it can detect explosives, these plants are able to even save a life whether it's human life or wild life.

Internet Innovations
"The internet changes the world"
E-commerce
Electronic commerce is how we buy things online.
The launch of amazon and ebay was in 1995. The two sites would come to define the web in the 1990's and continue to be leading sellers of goods online. Because of electronic commerce, whatever you can buy in a store, you can buy online. This impacts tons of different people in many ways. For example if you're too lazy to go all the way to the nearest best buy you can just order something online. Problems that this innovation solves everyday is that now with just a few clicks, we can not only find the best prices for travel, but also book our flight, hotel room, or renter car without any complications. I really like this innovation because when I am in need of items e-commerce has made life so much easier.

Computer Science Innovations

Augmented-Reality Helmet Could Give Cyclists Extra Eyes on the Road

This helmet gives cyclists a 360 degree view of the road. Cars have a rear view mirror, and now cyclists will be able to ride a bike and they can have the same feature that the car has but instead with the helmet. In addition, the helmet has a GPS navigator.

This helmet can impact anyone, even people who don't ride bikes.

This innovation will solve the problems that cyclists face on the road. It will help prevent accidents.

Computer Science Innovation
Automated screening for childhood communication disorders
This computer system could help identify subtle speech, language disorders in time for early intervention. The system analyzes audio recordings of children’s performances on a standardized storytelling test, in which they are presented with a series of images and an accompanying narrative, and then asked to retell the story in their own words.
This will obviously impact children with speech disabilities.
I really like that this innovation was created, it is nice that now children might be saved from these disabilities.

Computer Science Innovations

Send Passwords Securely Through Your Body Instead of Wi-Fi

So instead if relying on blue tooth signals, researchers have developed a system that uses the human body to securely transmit passwords. They have found a way to send the signal from a fingerprint scanner or touch pad through the body to a receiving device that is also in contact with the user. Since they are on-body transmissions they offer a more secure option than passwords. 

This will impact anyone who is very insecure about their business being invaded by others.

It will solve security and distance problems.

I think this innovation is cool and would like to try it myself. 

Computer Science Innovations
EQ-Radio
The EQ-radio is a device that detects a person's emotions using wireless signals by measuring subtle changes in breathing and heart rhythms, EQ-Radio is 87 percent accurate at detecting if a person is excited, happy, angry or sad. 
This could impact anyone for now we would know how a person really feels without us having to ask.
Possible problems that it could solve is figuring out if a person has anxiety, or depression, or post traumatic disorder.
I like this innovation and would like to try it on my self to see if it really works and to try it on my friends.

Computer Science Innovations

A. Electric Bus can travel 350 miles on a single charge. It is able to complete a full day's work without needing to be recharged. 

B. I think this innovation will impact travelers and bus drivers.

C. I think it will solve the problem of wasting gasoline.

D. I think this innovation is cool and hopefully the next step would be a car.

Computer Science Innovations

Perfect Memory Camera

This is a wearable camera that allows you to capture moments that you might have missed. It is a 12 mega-pixel device that's pocket size and light-weight. With a tap of its touch screen, it can record video, audio, and is capable of full-high definition 1080p video. 
This can impact anyone whether they have an interesting life or not.
Problems it may solve could be like something really exciting, or important could happen for instance and you probably wanted to save and cherish that moment and with the perfect memory camera you won't miss a thing. Also in case you were the victim of a crime now you have all the evidence on one camera.
I really like this innovation and would like to have it for myself because there are so many moments in my life that I wish I could rewind. 

Computer Science Innovations
Magic Picture Frame

A. An invention called the "slow dance" frame opens a window into what it might look like to see things in slow motion in the real world. When you put something in the frame, the movement of the object appears to happen at a fraction of their normal speed.

B. This will impact anyone who is fascinated by slow motion someone who actually cares about the rate that things move.

C. I don't think this innovation will solve any problems except for if anyone wants to see the slow movement an object really bad because it might move too fast for your eyes to see like i wish i could rewind life all the time.

D. I think this innovation is cool because I have always wanted to see a cinnamon roll being unrolled in slow motion that would really satisfy me.

"Computing enables innovation in nearly every field"
Liquid Crystal Display 

This is the technology used for displays in notebooks and smaller computers, it is made of liquid crystals activated by electrical current.

This innovation will impact everyone that utilizes it because it is a flat panel display that uses LCD which is a screen that's more energy-efficient and it is flat enough to hang on a wall. 

Problems that I think this innovation would solve would be the weight since it is light it will be much easier to carry around.
I think this innovation is cool.
