What is the guiding question forthis unit?

• How can we use technology to address global warming?

What answers do you have for the guiding question?

• Make videos that many people can see to raise the awareness

What is the Area of Interaction for this unit? Do you think it was a good choice? Why?

• Environment. It's a good choice because Global Warming effects the environment.

What questions have your research brought up in your mind?

• What is going to happen to Earth if the Global Warming continues?
• What are serious problems happening right now?
• How long is it going to take to completely stop this?

Have you been able to find answers for these questions? What are they?

• Yes, some.

1. If the Global Warming continues, some islands might sink because of melting icebergs and rising of the sea level.
2. There are new diseases showing up.
3. I'm not sure of this because it will depend on people's reactions.

Have you learned anything that you did not know before?

• Yes, I learned about some diseases that are caused by the global Warming.

Are you happy with your performance so far? Explain.

• I think I'm doing fine with my work. I did a lot of researching and I like my story board (for planning the video). Also, I found the window video maker program quite easy to use which made me happier with my works. I hope it will turn out nice because I really had put a lot of efforts in these works.

Comment on your motivation, independence, and general positive attitude, giving examples.

• I think they were all quite satisfying because I worked hard on the works I did and I tried to work independently, not depending on someone/something. I also think I had a positive attitude doing the project because I found them very interesting in many ways and tried to do my best.

Comment on your safety, coorperation, and respect for others, giving examples.

• I followed the instructions given, coorperated with my peers when needed(When we can't figure out what to do or give feedbacks and advises to each other) and respected each other in their ideas/decisions about their works or the feedbacks I received.

I finished my storyboard at home and for today we learned how to use the window video maker.

It was my first time using this but, I thought it was quite easy to use.

I enjoyed trying with some sample pictures that were saved in the computer
(Like putting transitions and connecting the pictures...).

I also thought about how I will make the transitions in the videos.

Next time I will be making the real video and I hope it goes well.

14, Jan

Today, I did couple of things for my prject of making a video.
I wrote down 5things for design specification(like "the prduct should be interestin")
and I made a story board for the video but I couldn't finish it.

Process Journal In Technology class 17th of Dcember

Today, I researched some about my topic and found some information in WMO, EPA etc.
And also, I fouond some pictures too.
I think these information will help me to do my project.
And next time I will do page 16 and 17, writing the 300 words essay.

Tachnology Process Journal

10th of December

Today I choosed my topic for our new project and answered some questions below.

My topic

• "What are some of causes and how can we help to reduce the global warming?"

Why did I choosed this topic?

• I choosed this topic because I thought this would help others and also me to get to know better about global warming and what we can do to save the environment.

What Areas Of Interaction would be addressed?

• Environment/Social - I choosed this because the whole thing about reducing global warming is about stop polluting where we live and how the people can help each other to make a better place to live.

I watched a movie about global warming and greenhouse affects. While watching the video, we took some notes down. In the movie it showed how much the people were causing the global warming to get worse. And how bad it got in several decades.This made me to think again about what we do everyday like riding a car and not recycling the garbages somtimes. I thought I should work on some of the things I do to save the environment.


Just some notes

• 33% because of transportation
• some animals being endangered

Evidence of global warming

• temperature rise
• sea level rising
• droughts
• new diseases (tropical)
• distroyed nature
• some crop failiures
• hotter summers
• snow caps melts

Causes of global warming

• transportation(burning coal etc.)
• power plantsF
• clearing forests
• toxic masses

What have we already done?

• studying about global warming
• musicals about global warming
• hybrid cars

What can we do?

• get used to the present
• reduce greenhouse gases as much as possible(like walking or riding bikesb instead of using cars evryday)
