I built a simple room that uses very few different materials. I used lots of glass to allow light in and embody the Mies van der rohe architecture style.
1) The TED organization is a group that allows people to spread their ideas no matter what they are.
2) The purpose of the site is to allow anyone with the ability to access the web a chance to listen and see these ideas and they do that by allowing you to search by what the video may be considered by others, jaw-dropping, ingenious, funny, etc.
3) I like the technology section because thats where a lot of cool new technology shows up.
4) Videos like Jack Choi: On the virtual dissection, Lucy McRae: How can technology transform the human body?, Tal Golesworthy: How I repaired my own heart are all videos that someone in engineering may find interesting. They are all about problem solving which is a key feature in engineering.
5)
-Wii remote technology can be used to make a normal white board interactive
-used technology to make glasses move the view on screen to your point of view
6) I would just have to do some research on the web in order to figure out how to use the technology and just by playing around with it, I could learn how to apply it to my life.
I'm a senior this year and during either the first or second semester we have to take economics. That concept can be very tricky and it also hows a great role in everyday life. I decided to watch the video about how China is buying US bonds. I thought this video was very helpful I actually understand a little better what china is trying to do when they are buying US bonds. Something Sal could change was maybe putting all the videos about this topic into one video rather than having 5 separate videos. It makes it easier so you don't have jump around and get out of order. I think this would work and that we should flip the classroom because I felt that by watching this 2 minute video it instantly made sense what he was discussing.
