Unit 1: Bloggers of the World Unite!

Design Technology
Unit Question: How can sharing our ideas online (in a responsible and safe manner) have a positive effect on our community?
Significant Concept: Information can be created to better connect with an audience.



Evidence:
I learned that creating a blog helps put your thoughts and ideas out to the world but also having fun with and expressing creativity to make your readers interested. I learned how to use and navigate Blogger and I learned how fun it can be to have a blog.
I also learned the Design Cycle;

Investigate
Design
Plan
Create
Evaluate
Attitudes in Technology

I learned so many other things but it would take to long to write. You know, those sort of things that you write down on paper, but don't memorize by heart? 
In this unit, I learned so much and am eager to learn more. We did many fun and educational activities, and when I look back on them, I begin to realize how much I enjoyed them all. I wonder what the next unit will be about…

I think that creating a blog helps people put their thoughts out in the world and express their creativity, personality, and originality. The blog creator can post thoughts and ideas out there that can influence people who read it. It may cause those readers to do something kind and beneficial to the environment, the world, or people in need.  Also, the blogger can write something inspiring that they might read later and be influenced by what they wrote. I will use my knowledge about blogs in a positive way by posting interesting helpful, and creative ideas and stories on my blog. This could affect  readers in a positive way and cause them to do something that is beneficial to the environment, people, or the world we live in.
