  3. Some teens create a different person online without their parents knowing.
  4. Some teens insult themselves through myspace.
  5. Teachers use turnitip a program that detects if students are doing plagerism form the internet.
  6. While people are online they tend to be more agressive because nobody knows whos behind the computer.

  3. Also some webpages do an aptitude test and tell you what is the best way to commit suicide.
  4. Not so many kids accept a message or request from an online stranger
  5. Some parents have the internet so restricted they ask for passwords.
  6. out of 7 kids only one is stalked by a sexual predator.
  7. A girl after knowing the mistake she made by showing pictures of herself online, goes back to the internet to show pictures.
  8. Some parents support their children in the missuse of the internet because they think it is the only way they can express themselves.
  9. Some parents do not carae about what their children do on the internet.

Google Maps and Google earth.
Google maps is a a page from Google that has maps of all the world. It has street maps of almost anywhere, you can also choose the option of satellite map.
Google maps has many characteristics:

  • On the right side
    • You can place any direction and it takes you there
    • You can see your current location
    • You can also ask for directions from one place to another, print it and share it.
  • On the left top corner
    • You can see multiple pictures of some places
    • You can also see wikipedia articles of some places, like cities, countries, and museums
    • You can check the climate of multiple locations in the world
    • Videos
    • Traffic
    • And the topography of the world
Some advantages of Google Maps are:
  • It is fast and efficient
  • You can view any part of the world
  • You don't need an account
Google earth is a 3-dimensional map of the world, more like a digital globe. It isn't only a globe of the earth it also has a globe of Mars, the Moon, and it has a sky map of the stars. Some characteristics are:
Well the best way the school could use this is in social studies classe studying maps, climate and all the characteristcs that this gives. Also for an astronomy class the sky map might be helpful.

Google day#3

Goals:

  • The previous classes I only looked at engineering. So today I want to look into architecture and medicine.
  • Find the salaries for each.
  • Then I want to see colleges for the careers.
Links:
  • I medicine I am only interested in being a surgeon or a anesthesiologists. The salary for being a surgeon is above 166,444 dollars yearly. An anesthesiologist also makes 166,444 dollars yearly.
  • An architect's salary is 91,700 dollars yearly.
  • Architecture is a very risky career because there is an unemployment rate of 10% for this career.
  • The best ranked universities for engineering are: Princeton University, and Stanford University.
  • For Medicine the best universities are: Oxford University and Harvard University.
Goal:
I don't really have a goal I just want to see to which colleges of engineering or any of those careers I can apply to with my GPA.

google day#2

Topic for research: I am going to compare and investigate investigate in depth 3 careers consider another, the careers are: Surgeon,  architect and engineering.
Goals:

  • Learn about the availability of each job 
  • also see a little deeper at what each job does
  • Then tips that may get a job easier
Links:
  1. Avalability:
    1. Aerospace: 2230 job openings each year.
    2. Bio-medical: 1,490 job openings each year.
    3. Chemical: 780 job openings each year.
    4. Civil: 11,460 job openings each year.
    5. Environmental: 2,790 job openings each year.
    6. Industrial: 8,540 job openings each year.
    7. Nuclear: 540 job openings each year.
    8. Petroleum: 860 job openings each year.
  2. What each job does:
    1. Aerospace: designs: spacecraft, aircraft, satellites, missiles, etc.
    2. Bio-medical: study engineering, biology and medicine to be able to improve the procedures for certain medical treatments like laser eye surgery.
    3. Chemical: Design: the equipment used to make multiple products such as paper, plastic, drugs.
    4. Civil: plan, design, and supervise the construction of large projects
    5. Environmental: study engineer and science to design solutions for the environment.
    6. Industrial: help businesses to use their resources, equipment, and personel in the most effective way.
    7. Nuclear: research ways in which we can use nuclear energy and radiation.
    8. Petroleum: design: equipment to extract petroleum.
  3. Tips it is recomended foir all engineers to study a course that is credited by the abet.
NExt class i want to learn about architecture and medicine.

google day 1

Goals

  • Find a topic probably it is going to be very hard because i don't know to much about what i want to do in the future.
  • Well find info about the topic.
  • Then work in the topic.
I think i am going to compare to investigate in depth 4 careers maybe more if i consider another, but the careers are: Surgeon,  architect and industrial engineer, civil engineer, or probably just an engineer.
  1. There are many types of engineer but many dont call my atention the ones that do are: Aerospace engineer, Agricultural engineer, biomedical engineer, chemical engineer, civil engineer, environmental engineer, industrial enginner, nuclear engineer, petroleum engineer.
  2. Salaries for each engineer (annualy in dolars): 
    1. Aerospace: 97,480
    2. Agricultural: 71,090
    3. Biomedical: 81,540
    4. Chemical: 90,330
    5. Civil: 77,560
    6. Environmental: 78,740
    7. Industrial: 76,100
    8. Nuclear: 99,920
    9. Petroleum: 114,080
  3. Avalability:
    1. Aerospace:
