Virtual tour

Virtual tours, they are a good use of sending knowledge and experiences over the internet. A virtual tour is a simulation of a place around the world that allow you to experience: pictures, videos and much more. While the tour is going it will give you information of the place you are visiting.The highlights of virtual tours are that they are very accessible on the internet, they give you high definition pictures and give you important information to the specific topic you are touring. My opinion on virtual tours are that they are an awesome use of knowledge to people that would like to visit other countries but haven't got the money to, though with every project there are flaws. Some problems with tours are that they can be outdated, really slow and you don't get the feeling of being there. A great site for virtual tours is http://www.youvisit.com/ . It has a wide variety of places you can explore for example hotels, restaurants, travel destinations, real estates, businesses and events and venues.The site makes you feel you are there at that exact moment. Another bonus is that there is a voice recording that speaks to you and gives you plenty of useful knowledge.

Life ed movie

For each heading explain how well this aspect was done

What was done well?

Our camera stillness was good and didn't shake so often.

What wasn’t done well?

Our acting wasn't good and we needed to speak louder.

What would you improve if you had more time?

I think we would improve the script and the acting skills because most of our main characters were away and had to deal with other situations.

Sound quality: I think our quality was ok because sometimes it would vary between different shots. There wasn't as much background noise in our videos so that wasn't a problem.

Camera skill:

Acting:

Editing:

Poem:

Quality of the life education message in your movie (the Script): realism, was it a good message?

Is our books disappearing?

Is the book disappearing as we speak? We'll in a way yes and no.A lot of people that read normal books know that normal books are disappearing and ebooks are the most efficient way to go. For example three million trees are cut down every year for the America alone which makes normal books look bad from the environment point if view. People have even started estimating when books will be in a museum. The most popular estimate is 20 - 50 years time.


Books and digital books both have their ups and downs. For example digital books can be easily damaged by dropping them on the ground but with an ordinary book it just lays on the floor. Normal books can also destroyed but by ripping the pages, with the digital books you can't rip pages which eliminates that hazard. Digital books are more environment friendly than normal books because of the amount of paper that are used to make a single book.So as I have said digital books and normal books have their ups and downs but personally, I like using the good old normal books. But remember the decision is yours digital books or normal books you decide!

Rotating Shapes

What 3 things do you need to say to describe a rotation?

1.Where the centre of the rotation is?

2.How much it has turned through(1/4, or 1/2 turn or an angle)

3.Weather the rotation has turned anticlockwise or clockwise.

Explain what centre of rotation means

The centre of rotation is a little dot or cross on a grid which is where the shape of the rotation should turn on the line where the dot is.

Now use these 3 things to describe the rotation on Page 1 of the myimaths lesson (i.e. describe the rotation of the triangle)

The centre of this triangle is at 1,1 on the grid. It has turned 90º or 1/4 and has turned clockwise.

Rotational Symmetry

In your own words explain what rotational symmetry is.

Rotational symmetry is a shape that can be turned around in a 360 degree and in that rotation the shape will match itself.

A shape has an order of rotational symmetry of 2. What does this mean?

This means that the shape has matched it self 2 times in the 360 rotation. That means the shape has rotational symmetry.

How is rotational symmetry different from line symmetry?

Line symmetry doesn't rotate, there is a line that separates the picture in half to see if they are the same on both sides. rotational symmetry rotates the picture in a 360 degree which sees if it can match it self during the 360 rotation.

What do you do to check if a shape has rotational symmetry? 

Rotate the picture at 360. If it matches itself it has rotational symmetry.

Find pictures of 3 real life objects which have rotational symmetry (not shapes, objects e.g. foods, logos) and paste them into your post

Complete this table

If a shape has rotational symmetry of order 3, how many degrees would it rotate to match itself? Answer = 120 degrees

Order	Degrees of rotation to match its shape
2	180
3	120
4	90
5	72
10	36

MUM

Why I think my Mum is a great Mum because she tries her hardest to get us where we want and she will encourage to try new things. Secondly, since my brother and I have soccer every Saturday morning and the times of our games could vary she always gets us on time and has never made us late. Thirdly, my Mum has a night shift work so that means she works at night not in the morning. As I said that she will encourage to do new things most of those activities needed parent supervision but since she is so tired she can't help me do the activities. Overall I think my Mum is a great Mum because of all those thing she does.
