Google Day 3

I am an ambassador at CNG and had an urgent meeting during Computers. Thus, I wasn't able to do Google Day 3.

Google Day 2

Goals for Google Day 2:

1. Start getting all the scenes saved onto the computer

2. Divide the website (weebly) with all the sections of movies that will have the gifs

3. Start making gifs with gifninja.com

Links:

http://keepvid.com : This link helped me download the Youtube videos onto my desktopl. Thanks to this site, I was able to convert the scenes I wanted to use as gifs into files. 

http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001002.htm: At first, I had no clue how to download scenes from Youtube onto my computer. But, I reached this website by google search. Here it described how to download and gave me two websites that helped me convert my videos into files. 

Evidence and Description of Learned:

By taking 85 minutes to just focus on making gifs, I had the opportunity to learn many new things about the web. Firstly, I learned that when you have a doubt about how something works, Google it! really helps. Secondly, the Youtube videos are have a copyright, and thus aren't allowed to edit. I learned this by trying to edit gifs on Windows Movie Maker. While I tried to drop in the downloaded videos, an x would appear. Then, Ms. Shawn told me what I described above. While making gifs in NinjaGif, I learned that gifs are just repetitive showing of a video, or multiple images. This gives the file a different  html, and therefore is used differently by websites. These gifs that are made are repetitions of the first seconds of the video, and that is why I encountered several problems with the files. For example, I was planning to do the gif of 'I double dare you' in Pulp Fiction, but because this didn't appear at the beginning, I couldn't do the gif. 

Evidence of what I did (2 gifs per section): 

Questions for Next Google Day:

1. How do you add text into the gifs?

2. Is it possible to edit files so they can be cut and then used in GifNinja?

3. Is there a way to make the gif in the website that is not the first seconds of the file?

Search Stories (google)

LINK TO WEBSITE: https://searchstories-intl.appspot.com/en-us/creator/
Purpose of the site: This site is a craetion of Google's video engine, Youtube. You get as a result a movie that shows all the searchings you do on Google and the best kind of results you chose. Then, this machine gets all of these and puts them together into a movie where you can show all of the things you've searched together.
How to use this site:
1. Enter all the search terms you want.
2. Choose whether to show Web Search, Images, Maps, News, Blog Search, Product Search, or Books.
3. See the preview below on how all the searches you put turn out in the clip
4.When done, go to 'Add Music'
5. Choose what type of music to choose between 3 types of Action, Comedy, Country & Western, Drama, Family, Horror, Sci-fi, and Romance
6. Preview the final result, and if you are unsatisfied with the results you can change the story or the music
 7. Give it a title, genre, description and upload it to Youtube!
Example of how Camila Toro used the site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJzAHG7dqfE&hl=en_GB&fs=1 
How other students can use this website:
Projects: Students can take advantage of this amazing tool by using it in projects. When class work requires information about any special event in history or a remarkable character, they can use this website to show all the information and research about this topic. Also, they can show maps and images or translation if they are doing something about geography. They can practically do it for anything!!

Entertainment: Students nowadays are surfing the internet more than ever. And, most of the times, they are on Facebook because they can't do anything else. They could use this site to create a clip where they can show anything they want! They can do it just for entertainment, or show other fellow mates about their passion. It is very fun to do, and the results are amazing!

DIGITAL NATION

1. I disagree with the using of laptops in classes because they distract students from staying in focus. This results in a wasted lecture because nobody can gain from what is being taught. Technology can be a great advantage, but can also be used with great irresponsibility.
2. I disagree with multitasking because it is actually not possible. Thus, people think they can do many things at once perfectly, but end up doing both things half way. I believe that resulting with one thing very well though out is much better than resulting with three mediocre works.
3. I agree with the possibility of multitasking doubting because of testing results shown by scientists. People believe they can multitask, but when it comes to testing the ability, it is wrong
4. I disagree with the impossibility of multitasking because some people can be able to do many things at once, even though they don't do them right, they still are doing it.
5. I agree in the belief that people who think are good at multitasking but  really aren't because, as stated before, testing results show that it is very hard to do many things at once.
6. I agree that technology is made to be most creative and not to distract because the technology is supposed to be used for innovative ideas, and using it in a useful way. But, many people are abusing this advantage to get distracted from the real life.
7. I agree that the conclusions of small use of the brain is better (reading) because it takes less energy of the human brain to do useful things. Therefore, using Google takes up more energy from the brains and causes more damage.
8. I disagree that the technology will be obsolete because it will always be present in everyday life. Eventually, something more innovative will come along later, but technology will always be essential for a human's life.
9. I agree it takes people a while to realize bad behaviors because they continue doing bad distractions and don't realize they are just wasting time.
10. I agree that technology is addictive because a whole bunch of people constantly practice these behaviors. Either it is video games or Facebook, we don't realize we are constantly on them.
11. I disagree with the PC system in Korea for playing video games because these places just open an advantage for addicts to keep on playing and using technology.
12. I agree that the addiction of technology is very bad for yourself because it makes you more distracted and everyday more dependent of those.
13. I agree that technology addiction should be treated as in Korea because if every country starts treating addicts with specialized camps, they would realize what is going on with them and could shorten the usage of technology.
14. I agree that the fighting games shouldn't exist because they simulate violence and encourage gamers to do the same in real life and enjoying being violent.
15. I agree with the free internet rescue camps because they make children with addiction problems get over technology and realize their issue and how they have done it for a long time. (like rehab)
16. I disagree that technology can help us evolve into new human beings because, even though we can learn a lot from the internet, we also bring many disadvantages within.
17. I agree technology has changed to something one does to the way one lives because of the constant usage and addiction of it. Now, instead of using it to help us once in a while, we made it part of our daily routine.
18. I disagree teaching online and reading because kids learn basic needs for life and are starting to meet technology. The younger the kid learns about computers, the younger they will start becoming addicted.
19. I agree to be teaching how to use computers responsibly because they can use computers responsibly (as everyone should) and gain as most as possible without it affecting them.                        
20. I agree that the world requires kids to do stuff instead of knowing what they say because in the real world the one who becomes most successful is the one who creates more innovations instead of the one who knows the most but does nothing.
21. I disagree that technology is like oxygen because, even though people think they depend in technology, previous generations have managed to survive without them.
22. I agree that the power of games is creating an imaginary world were you can be better than what you really are, and that is why it attracts many people.
