Google day 2

Goals
Today I'm going to download an app software, decide the type of app I will make and test the features of this software.
Links
http://happmaker.sourceforge.net/version1.html
This is a link to the information of the software I downloaded and this will show me what it's features are and
http://happmaker.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html
This is the tutorial page which came very handy due to the fact without it I was very lost and confused.
TODAY
Today I realized how hard app making really is. It takes countless hours to find the right software, then once you find it you have to download the updates. After the updates are completed you have to go through the tutorial pages to understand the software. 
Next class
I'm going to use this software and start my app next time. This will take awhile to learn the software,but I will eventually understand it.

Youtube Quiz Feature

"http://9to5google.com/2012/09/21/youtube-launches-interactive-quiz-feature-with-video-questions-editor-beta/"
This site teaches how to use the youtube quiz feature. This feature allows you to make a quiz inside a video so they can be more interactive.
In the process of learning this I also learned you need an account, real videos, and you can't steal videos without the legal consent of the original video up loader.
I learned through this how to edit videos through the video editor, but without an original video of mine I can't add questions to it or make in interactive.
I did however make a video with the editing tools I was able to use. It isn't very good, but it is all I had.

This video I made was in the process of being uploaded so I'm not sure it finished, but here it is anyway.

Digital Nation


  1. I disagree with people using computers all the time because they will distract you from the world.
  2. I agree with college kids can be distracted by the laptops in class because they are not learning with them.
  3. I agree that college kids can multitask well, because I know I can do this well and some of them know what they are doing.
  4. I disagree with people cutting off their technology because computers can be very helpful and fun.
  5. I disagree with people saying kids are always on computers because kids just want to stay informed with people and things.
  6. I disagree with this film saying computers could be bad for us because whether everyone gets told technology is bad for us we'll just keep moving forward in technology.
  7. I agree with kids being addicted to video games because video games are more than just computers, but are a new world that kids want to use and are very fun.
  8. I disagree with the digital free camp in Korea because i really don't believe they'll stop using computers and technology.
  9. I agree with kids learning how to use computers in elementary because then they'll know how to use it right and complete.
  10. I agree with teaching the kids in the Bronx to use computers is good because they'll need computers when their adults.
  11. I disagree with spark notes because then you can't grasp the real understanding of a book.
  12. I disagree with them saying we're slower and dumber than the past people because we are farther advanced than they could have been.
  13. I agree with the fact that the world is going through a technological revolution.
  14. I agree with using the internet as a connector because now you can talk to people you haven't seen in years at any time.
  15. I disagree with people playing World of Warcraft because people just loose their real lives by not pulling themselves out of the game.
  16. I agree with advertising in virtual games because that does get attention even though it didn't work for the Coke company.
  17. I disagree with people working at a virtual gaming company and using it all the time because that can get them hooked and stolen from the real world during and not during work.
  18. I disagree with people testing kids and making them believe things they have never done because that kind of stuff can throw a kid off when they are older.
  19. I agree with using technology in the military for practice because that can help soldiers visualize whats going to happen.
  20. I agree with soldiers flying drones because they can do the same thing as if they were in the plane yet never die.
