How Has Technology Changed The Way We Do Things

Technology has changed many jobs, tasks and everyday activities we do. This is because the technology has advanced  and allowed us to do things much easier than before. For example, technology has now changed the way we communicate with others around the world. Back then we used post cards and it would take too long for the other person to read what message you sent them. But now we can easily communicate with other people around the world using our phones. Another example is how we used to walk or ride horses to get to places. But with the advancement of technology we have fast cars which we drive to get to different places. Not only that, the cars now can drive itself and don't need any fuel to work. Another example is how we get our information. Back then we use to go to library to read books and find out what we want to find out. But now we can search it up on google using our phones and it will come up with the answers we needed to know. These are just a few examples on how technology has improved things in our everyday lives.





Here are 20 examples on how technology changed the way we do things.

INTRODUCTION

Hi I'm Danne and in DTE we have started our progress into making our video game. Each groups have three memebrs. We are allowed to make any game we want as long as it's not inappropriate. My team decided to make a geometry dash type of game. We had to research games like geometry dash and we took ideas from those games. We put our ideas on padlet and coggle.

Digital Learning Objective

REFLECTION 

I found padlet and coggle very helpful. Padlet was very simple and easy to use. Coggle on the other confused me at first, but as I used it more I got use to it and learnt how to use it properly. It became simple and easy to use. I also think my team did well on this project. We talked a lot and listed a lot of our ideas. Even when we first started we already had a lot of ideas and right away we knew what game we were going to make. Overall I think my group did well and we had pretty good success on planning our game. I think we will succeed on making this game.

The Atlantic Slave Trade Triangle Paragraphs

The Atlantic Slave Trade Triangle was a cruel and disgusting trading system that started in the
15th century. This trading system was an evil trading system because it involved Africans being taken
away from their homes and being sold into slavery. The Europeans would bring guns and other weapons
and trade them to African Kings in exchange for slaves. The slaves involved men, women and even
children. This part of the Atlantic Slave Trade Triangle was called the first passage.
They were taken from their homes and country and put on slave ships like animals.

In the next passage they were forcefully put into ships. In the ships they were treated badly because
they were now in control of the traders and they did not have show them any human rights.
They would get whipped for trying to fight back and a lot of slaves died. Some slaves would starve and
some would get thrown out into the ocean. The ships would travel across the Atlantic to reach their
destination. This passage is called the middle passage. Once they arrived in America, a life
of punishment awaited them.

Once they arrive, they were auctioned as slaves. People would buy the slaves for different purposes
because the slaves were no longer free but property of the person who bought them.
Some would buy them to make them work on picking up cottons on the field.
Some would buy them to make them work in their kitchen and some would buy them for sexual purposes.
Life as a slave was very hard. They would work for hours and hours on the field.
They wouldn’t get paid and were even punished if they didn’t do enough. The slaves would also sing their
own made up song while working. The songs helped them work because it expressed how they’re feeling.
Some slaves tried to escape and if they are caught they would get killed. Then all of their stuff they
harvested like tobacco and cotton would get transported to Europe.
This passage is called the third passage. This would complete the Atlantic Slave Trade Triangle.

What is your writing about?
My writing is about the Atlantic Slave Trade.

What did you most the most interesting about this topic?
I didn't really find anything interesting.

Out of 10 how much did you like or dislike the topic?
I would rate it a 5 because It's not really the stuff I'm interested on but I also don't dislike it because I got to know about how the slaves thing started.

Interland Analysis

INTERLAND BY GOOGLE

Introduction

Last week in DTE, we had started looking at a game called Interland. Interland is a game that was designed by Google. The game basically teaches you about how to be safe online. It has four levels, and each one of them gives you different tips on how to be safe online. We have played and have done our research about the design and what the objective is.

Reflection

There were four levels and we had to play all of them. Each level teaches us different tips on how to be safe online. Kind Kingdom teaches us how to spread kindness to people. It also teaches us not be a bystander and to help people that are getting bullied. Mindful Mountain tells us which people we should share our own things and you have to avoid the pedophiles. Reality River gives us questions about a scenario and you have to pick the best answer possible. Tower of Treasure teaches us how to make a strong secure password and if you make a mistake you get basically get hacked. Some games are side scroll and some games are not. For me Kind Kingdom was the better level than the rest because it was easiest and it wasn't laggy. But overall the levels weren't that good and could have been made better especially the graphics.
