London Virtual Tour

University of California

A virtual tour is a simulations of an existing location also known as a panoramic view. All it is, is a 3D view of a building or a place in the world. For example if you wanted to go to a famous persons house you can go online and type up virtual tour of who ever you are wanting to see, you can also type up virtual tour of a museum in paris or something like that. It is like going on a tour but you can't move around just look around. Some of the bad things of a virtual tour is you cant move around, it can be in 2D, it can take a lot of your internet, it can be very laggy and lastly it might not tell you things about the tour that you are going on. My opinion of a virtual is that they are really cool but they still need a bit of work.

Tauranga Girls College trip

Today we went to Tauranga Girls College we  had to leave at 8:45 to get the bus down. When we got there we all sat in the hall and meet the new head girl, deputy head girl, sports directer and arts directer. What impressed me was that they have a swimming pool and if you dont swim you have to walk around the pool for the hole period. I was quite surprised that the school skirt cost $98. I didnt have any questions. I was sitting with Aysha and Zoe so I got to be in the same group when we were going around the school. I have many mixed emotions I felt happy and scared and exited because I am a bit scared because I might not be with my friends and then I wont know anyone. And then we started to come back at about 11:15 and got back at about 12 ish.

Remember to include some of Michael’s awesome stories about actual people affected by drugs.

In Life Ed this year we have leant all about drugs and what it does to your body. There are some sayings that is MRJMICE which stands for M - Memory R - Resoning J - Judgement M - Mechanical Skills I - Intellect C - Connection E - Emotions. We also leant what the four parts of the brain is which is Short term, Long term, Future thinking, Two days thinking. The point of Life Ed for drugs is to delay the decision until you have finished the ladder witch is about when you are 25 or over. We also leant that your body can get more damaged when you are younger then you are older because when you are younger your brain gets more damaged because your liver can not break down it without water so it gets water out of the other things in your body so then you start to slow down you body and then you cant get messages out from your brain

Hi I am Hannah.

Well this is a cool website for you.

Is The Book Disapearing

Do you think books are disappearing, I think books are disappearing because people are buying more technology and getting more apps to get ebooks.

It will be much easier to have your books on your technology because you can have more than one and it will be much lighter to carry one tablet instead of 10 books. You can carry your ebooks anywhere you go.

The bad things with ebooks are if you drop your ebook it might smash and you will have to get a new one all the time, if you drop your book they it will not brake because it does not have wires in it. It is also bad because if you get your ebook wet then it will also brake and if you get a book wet it will brake or get water all though it, it will be fine.
