Virtual tour

A review should:
  • explain what happens on a virtual tour
  • mention highlights on the tours
  • give an overall opinion of virtual tours online (strengths and weaknesses)
  • mention specific virtual tours you have looked at as examples
  • include hyperlinks to the virtual tours you mention

200 words minimum

  • Google Maps
  • Online Real estate
  • National tour of the museum of natural history.Museum
  • Colleges 
  • Hotels
  • Cities London
  • Universities Universities


A virtual tour is a tour online that lets you look around a building or a city. If you are disabled and you can't access things very easy you can look around and you can sometimes feel as if you are there. As you are looking around you get information about the place you are looking around in e.g if you are in a museum you get information about an exhibit. The downside to virtual tours are sometimes you can't see properly and it is very pixilated on some sites. Also you can't go into some buildings to look around, Some of the tours are a little bit outdated.    

A perk is that if you are planing a holiday you can look around the place you are planning to go to see what it is like there. My favourite tour was the tour of London because you can see the whole city and experience the whole cities life.

Life ed movie

Embed your movie into your blog. Title: Life Ed Movie Label: Health


Underneath do your reflection


Reflection
For each heading explain how well this aspect was done
  • what was done well
  • what wasn’t done well
  • what you would improve if you had more time



The sound quality was good but at times it was hard to hear because the wind was cutting the sound out a little bit. If my group had more time we would have tried to clear up the sound.
The camera skills were good the shot was steady, the angles were good but the lighting we could have worked on.
Our acting was nice we had no robotic performances. We had a guanine script if we had more time we would have better facial expressions.
Our transitions were good but if we had more time our cut scenes
The poem was good and it blended well with the subject.
The message was good and hopefully it sends a good message. All of our team members were used well and everybody was included

Is the book disappearing

The book is disappearing because electronic devices are taking over. On average the US uses 30 million trees a year and that is why there very little forest space compared to suburbs in the US. Since 2005 children reading books has decreased by 25% and the children have converted to You tube and other apps. 53% of the world prefer to read ebooks as they are easier to locate compared to a book. Incidental reading is the most common reading because the people reading don't actually know that they are reading. The reason behind that is that children who have a Facebook account will be reading statuses constantly without realising it, even though it is in slang it is still reading. Ebooks and books affect the world in different ways. Ebooks are on electronic devices so they can release radiation but books on the other hand affect animals homes by cutting down trees and forest land. The radiation can be handled and reduced but cutting down trees can only be resolved by reducing the amount of copies of a book are made or finding another way to make paper. That is why the book is disappearing in this day and age.

"MUM! Where are my favourite socks?" I asked, yelling for help.
"And where are my Tuesday undies?" asked Dad, searching through his drawers. "You know I have to wear them today." 
"Just wear Monday's undies. no one is going to know," replied mum. 
"No ones going to know you say. I'm going to know. And to wear Mondays undies, pfft that would be idiotic!" Dad answered back, with a streak in his voice. This was only the beginning of our family disaster. For the next few weeks things were starting to disappear and fast with Dad losing his Tuesday undies, and me losing my favourite socks, Isaac then lost his favourite bow tie, while mum then lost her favourite dress. We thought we were going mental. 
"It's not like they could just hop up and run away," said Isaac. Mum suggested that we recap our steps. 
"When was the last time you had you items?" she asked. 
we all replied, "Before washing day. Was the last time we had them." 
"So maybe it's the washing machine thats caused all this drama." Mum said, with a glimpse of hope in her eyes. We checked the washing machine there was… Nothing with nothing to prove. I decided to put a Go-Pro in the machine to watch it in action, to see if there was something suspicious really happening inside. What I didn’t realise was that the washing machine would take my Go-Pro too "AHHH ITS GONE!" I yelled at the top of my voice. "What are we going to do?"
"Lets just give up" Mum said to me. 
"Fine if that’s the best idea," I moaned. A few weeks later Isaac had dropped his toy car behind the washing machine, and as we were looking for it a pair of undies popped up out of the blue just sitting there. "Mum look" I said with a big grin on my face, who would have guessed we both stood there smiling.

Punctuate

"Morning class," greeted Miss Green. It was an ordinary day and everyone was sitting at their wooden desks with pens and pencils by their side. The sweet sound of voices filling the room brought music to my ears. I decide to listen in on Brittney's conversation with Ella. 
"OMG, last night I reached into my bag to get out my book and it wasn’t there," explained Brittney. 
"No way" replied Ella. "That exact thing happened to me. I was sure I put it into my bag." This is a little strange I thought to myself why are things disappearing?

Eventually the bell went and it was time to go home. I told my mum what I had witnessed at school and she was lost for words. That night I couldn't get Brittney and Ella's conversation out of my head. I grabbed my laptop out of my bag to Google this mystery. As I unzipped the case I looked down only to see that there was no laptop in my bag. This is insane. I decided to look in my other pocket of my bag and to my surprise, my lunch box was also missing.

The sun was shining birds singing it seemed like an ordinary day. I walked into my class that is usually full of colour, but not today my class looked like a prison cell. What happened I gasped. "Don't worry kids," assured Miss Green we have a thief in our class, and I am going to get to the bottom of this. One by one Miss Green started checking our bags everyone seemed relaxed, except for James miss green made her way down the line and James was last to be checked. "Oh," said Miss Green looking rather lost. "What is this?" she asked James. As she pulled out two books and a pencil case my laptop and two class posters from James's bag.

I was utterly shocked to say the least. "I am so sorry," cried James. "It's just that, everyone has laptops or books and our class is so colourful that I wanted to take some of it home to make my house look better." The truth is that you should be happy with what you have and not want stuff from other people.

It was a monday morning, I just got woken up by my mum to get ready for school. I got out of bed and reached down for my uniform but it wasn't there. I looked under my bed, under my pillows but I couldn't find my uniform anywhere. 
"Kaidin have you gotten in the shower yet?" 
"No mum I can't find my uniform."
"Well you better find it quick or you will be going to school in your onesie!" 
"But mum, I cant find it anywhere. It’s like it's just disappeared."
"Oh sure just like all your other stuff huh Kaidin." I got a note to go to school with, to say that my uniform is lost, and that I have to wear mufti just for today. Which was a pain because every teacher I walked past, asked why i'm in mufti and where my uniform is. So I just showed them the note and moved on. When I got home I went to go grab my iPod, from where I always put it, I looked and that wasn't there either. I yelled out to my mum, 
"Mum have you seen my IPod?"
"No but do you know where did you last put it?"
"Mum, if I knew where I last put it do you think i'd be asking you where it is!" 
"Sorry just trying to help."

I thought to myself that I'll try to find it later. So I run into my room to go on my PS3 but surprise surprise it’s not there. 
"Mum!"
"Oh what now Kaidin?" 
"I know you're up to mischief tell me where all my stuff is!"
"Kaidin, do you really think I would hide your uniform away from you so, you would go to school in your onesise? Now what’s gone missing?"

The Civilian Party

Investigate The Civilian Party. What are some of their policies?Declare New Zealand’s independence from Hamilton. 
Establish a space program, and become the first nation in Australasia to send a man to the moon; not to explore it, just someone we don’t like.
Reform the tax system so that it rewards success and punishes failure. Ensure that the bulk of taxes are aimed at the greatest source of poverty in New Zealand: the poor. 
Remove the monarchy and become an independent banana republic.
Close the pay gap between men and women by working to reduce men’s wages.
Alleviate poverty amongst children by giving every poverty-stricken child a llama as a means to a basic income.
End discrimination against social majorities. No more special services just for Maori; no more car parks just for disabled people; no more hip operations just for people who need hip operations.
Relegalise illegal legal highs. The recent government crackdown on these products was overzealous, and there is no reason that perfectly legal substances should be illegal. 
Make Wellington airport safer by moving it to Christchurch.
Defend the traditional institution of marriage as the union between one man and one volumetric flask.
Reform the Justice system so that every citizen is required to prove why they shouldn’t be in prison.
Issue a formal apology to Australia’s aboriginal population.
Maintain New Zealand’s long-term commitment to free nuclear energy.
Seek to acquire new government assets, such as Bonus Bonds and a timeshare, and be proactive in exploring new economic opportunities, including some advertisements that suggest we could make $5,000 a week online.
Ice cream.

Replace New Zealand’s national anthem with the theme song from the 1996 film Space Jam, by Quad City DJs. A Maori version of Space Jam shall be composed to be sung alongside the English version.Ban all “satire” or anything claiming to be “satire.” It has been given a chance, but too often has it proven to be offensive and difficult to grasp. No one should be made to feel upset or challenged for the sake of “jokes” and “laughter.”
