Technology – Post #2

Today we learned about circuits and how they work. I found this very interesting, especially when Mr.Calvert told us to go to www.nearpod.com for our daily “do now”. Nearpod is a website that Mr.Calvert introduced to us at the beginning of tech. This time, he gave us another link to a website which gave us a menu of things like batteries and wire. He wanted us to try to make a circuit before he explained it to us later on. WHat I found interesting about ht website was that we could build a circuit on the computers just like we could build a circuit in real life, just a lot easier and a little faster than building a circuit in real life.

We also learned a little bit about what we are going to be doing tomorrow. THere were things in the tray in the middle of our table like these:

We had also learned how to use wire cutters and this is what they looked like:

I think that I am going to enjoy building circuits  very much and hope to be doing it tomorrow on the thirtieth of November! 😜

Hi! I am going to tell you about my first day in the tech room. It’s so amazing! There are lots of different tools in there, like the hot glue guns and the cabinets where all of the things are stored. The items that mostly caught my attention were the posters on the wall because they had quotes that were really interesting on them from different famous inventors. Here is one of the quotes I saw on the wall by Thomas Edison:

I found this quote inspirational and a lot of questions crossed my mind. For example, a big question was “What are all these things everywhere?!”. I was very confused at the beginning but I understood it better by the end of the class. I am definitely going to have a great quarter in tech! I’m so excited to learn more and have fun!
