Digital Citizenship Warriors by Eleanor

Today in Technology we are talking about digital citizenship. Mrs. Brown showed us a presentation that had slides about digital citizenship. For example, one slide had a picture that was called the digital citizenship survival kit. It included things that represented what you should/shouldn't do. Also, we are sharing stories about things that happened to us that have to do with digital citizenship.

Making Prototypes by Noah

Today in Technology we are making the products we invented. We are making them out of cardboard, paper, markers, scissors, and glue. This will show what our product is. By thinking with our hands we test our product and make sure there are no problems with the product.

Using Twister to Advertise Our Products by Matthew

Today our class is using the website-maker Weebly and the Twitter-like website Twister to do things for our products that we are working on. Twister is a website that is kind of like twitter with posts and hashtags and you can add pictures with your post.  Weebly allows you to create a website telling about your product and how you invented your product.  Weebly can be used for other thing besides products as well.

Websites & Infographics By Eleanor

Today in class we are continuing creating our websites and infographics. On our websites, we are adding a home, about, and a contact page. We are going to put our infographics on our websites. Some people continue to work on their sketches for their business plans by using either AwwApp or Sketchpad.  This is all part of our social media campaign.

Social Media Advertising Campaign by Kady

This week in technology we are making spreadsheets, infographics, and websites for our inventions. We are making our infographics on a cool website called piktochart. We learned that when making a piktochart we don't want to use too many words.  We want to use more pictures. Also to create our websites, we are using weebly.com, which is a great experience to advertise! This week has been so much fun trying to use different forms of technology to make our inventions great!

Creating Business Plans by Daniel

Today is the last day of creating a business plan and everybody is working hard. We are creating an invention to help the world. People have to include the cost, marketing plan, and the idea itself. We're also supposed to draw a picture of our invention to show "investors" what our product looks like. This project is very hard because it is hard to think of an idea, what it is about, and what can be done with it.

Invention Convention by Nate

This week in technology, we split up into to groups to create an invention. In my group we are creating a phone that can be implanted in your arm just by eating a piece of candy. On the phone there are many different futuristic apps that my group has thought of. For example, one of the apps is an app that lets you face time someone with a hologram. I think this is a good activity because it opens all of the students minds to create anything we want.
