What are the advantages/benefits of using the elements that Web 2.0 covers?

An advantage that Web 2.0 has is that people can talk with ;their family and friends easily when they're in different places. Also, if people want to know the answer to a question they can easily find it using Web 2.0 with a search engine like Google. Or if you need a job you can find one with Web 2.0.

What kind of People use Web 2.0?

People of different age groups use web 2.0 such as: Teenagers, business men/women, teachers, kids and elders. Teenagers usually use web 2.0 for communication and sometimes researching homework (rare, can be or even blogs (school work or twitter). Also people use web 2.0 as a daily update video vlogger such as:

How did Web 2.0 develop in today's society?

The Web 2.0 develops in today's society by people using it too much as to getting addicted to it such as:

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Tumblr
• Instagram
• Pinterest

However, it is used for good purposes such as school and work. Research is also easier as in the olden days they used books and it took longer time to research as they had to search through a lot of books to answer one question or investigate. But now, you can type the question on google and a hundred of answers of every question come on. It saves time and some of it is reliable.

Web 2.0 is social media which this generation uses unlike the previous generation which used books with no social communication. It allows anybody to communicate through the internet or social media accounts and pages. You can blog, post and update worldwide. You can also talk with your friends and family from long distance to the other side of the world. The last generation's communication was one sided now this generation is two sided!

My Reflection on my Tech Fair Project

My tech fair project wasn't successful at first because the foil wrapped around it got ripped and it didn't work until later when I figured out how to fix the foil. However, I had to wrap the foil around the sponge because the sponge alone didn't work so I had to investigate as I wasn't ready to make a new project. The difficult part in creating my project was squeezing the sponge in the pen as I needed help in accomplishing that part.The easy part about my project was cutting the song and removing the rough part off the sponge.

If I had to do this all over again, I would have investigated more because foil had it's flaws and there might be better material that can still make the stylus work. Next time I would work in a group because it was a bit challenging working alone as I had to investigate and create all by my self. Also, I think I would have done a lot better because I didn't think my idea was entirely linked with technology and my group member would have pointed that out.

Next year, I am planning on making a music video with different scenes with the same person singing every where just like this:

Design

This is a design of the stylus pen :)

Final choice

My final choice is creating the stylus pen for ipads and iPhones. This is due to it having more advantages than the 3D glasses and it is more original and easier to make. Also, there are many apple product users than 3D video watchers and 3D glasses are much more cheaper than an actual stylus. This product is aimed at all ages.

Hardware or Software used

The stylus pen:
I will use:
○ A ballpoint pen.
○ A sponge/foam.
○ Scissors.
● An Ipad/iPhone.

The 3D glasses:
I will use:
○ Plastic sunglasses
○ Plastic packaging.
○ Scissors.
○ Red Permanent marker.
○ Green Permanent marker.
● 3D video.

Advantages and disadvantages of the objects

The stylus pen:
Advantages:
-The stylus pen isn't only used for Ipad but iPhone too.
-It is made from recycled items and can be reused.
-Used by any age group.
- Very easily made but an excellent affect.

Disadvantages:
-The ends may not be sharp.
- There can be a difficulty in squeezing the sponge into the pen.

The 3D glasses:
Advantages:
-They are aimed for any age.
-They can be used on any 3D video.
-Saving money instead of buying one.

Disadvantages:
-They won't fit every body.
-Will have a difficulty colouring every single part on plastic.
-May not work as a professional one.

Two Ideas for the Tech fair

Ideas for the Tech fair

One of the things I have decided to make for the tech fair is a stylus pen for an Ipad and an Iphone. It is very easy to make because the only equipment used is a ball point pen and a foam sponge. So, I am reusing and recycling what I have at home to a very useful object.

The other object I am creating are 3D glasses. The equipment needed are plastic sunglasses, plastic packaging and red and green permanent markers. Also recycled things.

Peer Review

Peer Review

I peer assessed my partner Dalya's digital portfolio which we were all told to make on Weebly website. We were all told to mark each other's Digital Portfolio. Some of the strengths Dalya had was that she had 3 paragraphs reflection for each subject and she had a photo representing each subject on every page. Some of her weaknesses were her Grammar and her spelling mistakes. Also there wasn't enough information about her self in her home page.

Next time, she needs to add examples of her best work in every subject page. However, she didn't add her best work because she had problems downloading her files or pictures because it always say that the file was too big.
