You’re refection on the Flat Classroom Project? Include good points, bad points, and how it could be improved?
1. The Flat Classroom Project was very confusing to me. I thought that having a group meant that we were going to all work together and make one video, but then later found out that we are all making a single video over the same topic. I think that the project could have been more straight forward. There was a lot of different websites and a lot of passwords and instructions to follow. I think that the best part was making the video for someone else because you know you helped them out and they could be halfway across the world. I think the worst part was the organization of the project. It was difficult to understand and there was really no set deadlines except for the final project so videos and other things were made according to when the person felt like it.
What is your favorite internet tool used in Class
2.My favorite tool used is probably the website maker or powerpoint because I like exploring things and seeing what I can make. They will also help me with other classes if I need to make a project and share it with other people.
How can the subjects talked about in class be useful in your future? In school and out of school?
3.The subjects that we talked about made me more aware of the internet and the sites we used helped open more doors than me just using google all the time. I think that I will be able to use more tools and figure out more things outside of school just from this class. I also think I will be more aware of the internet and the things I can do and discover.
What does collaboration mean to you? How is it useful? What are some things that get in the way when you collaborate purely online?
4.Collaboration means to me how things fit together and how well everything works together and how easy it is to understand. I think collaboration makes things more organized online and makes searching things easier. Some things that may get in the way of collaboration are viruses, computer problems, distractions, or anything that takes your focus.
How do you think the internet will affect the way you and possibly your children learn 10 to 15 years from now?
5.Learning about the internet now will help me because I will be more aware when the future and technology starts to change. It will be easier for me to adapt when all the changes come. I think that my children are going to have things a lot easier because of all the new technology, but atleast I will have a basis to guide them in the right direction when it comes to all things on the internet.
Why is it important to cite your sources when gathering data from the internet?
6.It is important to cite your sources mainly because if you find it online, that means they are not your ideas and not facts that you found out. You would be taking credit for someone else's work if you were to take their ideas off of the internet. It is copying.
What are some ways to insure your safety on the internet? (min of 2)
7.One way to insure safety is to learn more about the internet. No what to do and what not to do when you go onto the internet. Another way to insure safety is to not go on anything you think is not right. Don't chat with people in chat rooms and don't visit any sketchy websites that you are unsure about. Then you would not be opening your doors to danger.

Your Weight on other Worlds: On this exercise, I figured out my weight on other worlds. I learned that I would weigh 243 pounds on Jupiter. I learned I would weigh the least on the moon, only weighing 17 pounds.
Your Age on Other Worlds: In this exercise, I used my current age to figure out how old I would be on other planets. I figured I would be the oldest on Mercury, being 67. I am the youngest on Pluto, being .065 years.
Squirming Palm: On this, I stared at a group of dots as they are spinning in the left direction. After 15 seconds of staring at the center dot, I looked down at my palm. My palm not only had the pattern on it, but the dots were now spinning to the right also.
Changing Illusions: In the exercise, I went through a serious of 5 illusions. They really made me think. I had to do steps like line up the lines, make the dots the same size, and a couple of other different exercises that tested my brain. At the end, the answer would be revealed and you can see how close your perception was and you learn a little bit about why your brain can play tricks on you.
Fading Dot: In this exercise I looked at a blue dot that was surrounded by a thick green circle. After staring at the dot for awhile, you can see that the dot changed from blue to green to match with the surrounding circle. This exercise hurts your eyes!

Your Age On Other Worlds: Here, I typed in my birthday and pressed calculate. From there, my age was calculated on all nine of the planets. I learned I would be 67 years old on Mercury and .065 years old on Pluto.
Your Weight On Other Worlds: On this site, I figured out what my weight would be on all of the planets and the moon. I figured out that I would weigh the most on Jupiter being 243.4 pounds. I would weigh the least on the moon, being only 17 pounds.
Squirming Palm: Here, I stared at a pattern for 15 seconds as it was turning to the left. After 15 seconds, I looked at my palm. Not only could I see the pattern on my palm, but it was spinning in the opposite direction also. I learned this is called the waterfall effect.
Changing Illusions: In this exercise I had to look at five different illusions. Using a dial at the bottom of each illusion, i had to test my brain in a series of steps such as making shapes appear the same size, placing the circle in the middle, and lining up sets of lines. I learned that perception is tricking your eyes during illusions.
Fading Dot: I stared at a blue dot in the center of the screen which was surrounded by a larger green circle. After moments of staring at the blue dot, it eventually turned the color green like the circle that was surrounding it. It kind of hurts your eyes though!
