what is editorial?

     An editorial is an opinion by someone on an online site or on paper. Editorials or located in the opinion section of a website or the newspaper.
         Teachers have told me that never trust Wikipedia because you never know if its right because people can edit it and put false information. Personally I still use Wikipedia because i trust it a lot its like the #1 site to get information these days instead of going to a library.
     Some teachers will allow me to use Wikipedia and Some wont because they think that Wikipedia is not trust able and asked a teacher once why cant I use Wikipedia she said that some information is not right some are lies I said that it depends on the information your reading though she said don't use Wikipedia in this class.
       Personally i will still use Wikipedia I trust the site a lot I used it on a lot of projects. Wikipedia is go to help you with projects or research.

Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Pre-Posting




                                                       World History: Mr De Carlo


     I expected that I'll learn stuff from like the 1900's but we started learning about the Renaissance  that's the 1500's that's nowhere close to want I expected to learn. I've heard about the Renaissance before but i did not know that much about it.
     So far I learned the the renaissance started in Italy some countries in Europe  had different names like the People of Naples is now Italy. I found out that the Catholic Church charged people to tell them that they will go to heaven. A guy called Martin Luther found out that was not in the bible so he translated the bible into German so people could find out that the Catholic Church was lying to them.
      I was interested in how nobody knew about how the Church was lying to them i wonder how no one knew until Martin Luther told them about it. Why would the church lie to there people they knew that they cant make the people go to heaven. Also i was interested in how people burned down church's after they found out.
       Technology is used in the class by showing videos about the topic and telling us facts about the Renaissance during the 1500's.

goal-line technology



   
       Goal-line technology has help in soccer lately this idea began after Nigeria vs Cameroon in the Africa cup national finals in 2000. when a player from Nigeria shot a penalty kick the referee said it did not cross the line but television replays showed it did cross the line. Also during another game when Manchester Untied was going against Tottenham Hotspurs in 2005. The main system is a Hawk eye camera view this helped in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil *spoiler* Germeny wins it all
