My Great Fall

Plagiarism

In the video made by the Dubai University, the reason everyone plagiarized was because they were too lazy to do the work themselves. They wanted to do other things like play video games or just relax. Sandra however only helped her friend copy off notes. She never actually full on ghost written. She should not have been punished but just given a warning. On everyone's record there is plagiarism. Most Universities don't accept people who have plagiarized.The William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Kansas will punish anyone who plagiarizes by failing them in the course or expel them.

Plagiarism has been committed by some famous people too. Joe Biden had to leave office as vice president because he took parts of other peoples speeches and used them and claimed them to be his own.

Sphero

Time,speed and distance: I learned how fast the sphero can go with different speeds percentages. It can go pretty fast when on 100%.

2D Geometry: In this lesson I learned what percentages of the colors red, blue, and green to use to create other colors. I didn't know to create the colors you have to add 100% of each color to create another.

This video really amazed me. I did not know you could make a motion sensor to put on your hand from four little parts of a computer mice. Its cool how he took pictures just by making that camera gesture with his hands. I like how if your lost you can just pull up a map on a wall and find out where you are. Bringing in real life objects into it too is very amazing, But bad things may be used with this too. People could more easily disrupt others and these devices may be used to find out who people are and could get information from you. 

Public Service Announcements

Public service announcements are a very good way to get information out to the public. When there's an issue that people need to know about a commercial is made about it that usually points to a place that will give you even more info. Like the http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/24/cdc-smoking-ads-video/11306343/

which is a commercial for anti-smoking by the CDC. Another is the ones about not texting and driving which I believe these two are very smart announcements.
