Blender

Blender is a tool that is used to make and animate 3D objects either for a game or just for fun! I personally have mix feeling toward this application because it is fin but it has a lot of hot keys and info you need to memorize before you can do anything useful with it. This is not an application for the lazy and or weak minded (no offence). However I have been very surprised at what can be done with it! Over all I have come to the conclusion of liking it.

ROTC

The ROTC is a military leadership training program open to students. I would not want to participate in this program because it forces kids to preform at a level that maybe they are not ready for and does not focus on academics that could actually help them in life. however i do see the good in this program for the students who are ready and looking into a career in the military. these good's are that it teaches respect (which kids now a days need to learn) and help those who are looking into the military to get a taste of what they are getting into.Me personally i would not like this program for 2 reasons, first i am not looking into doing anything for the military, and second has too parts, first  i am lazy and could not perform up to par and second i do not like being told what to do, i am more of a free form student meaning i will get the work done but at my own pace.

DGBL

Today's youth is so consumed in their own digital world that they don't always get the necessary education they need to succeed in life. This new way of learning will force kids to not only learn but to be fully engaged and want to learn! This will help kids combine their gaming skills along with their knowledge of the actual subject at hand. Although this is not a fool proof system where kids can find ways around the actual learning of it and focus on the game but that is to be expected when you place a graphic game in front of a kid! Another  problem that teachers and others could face is that kids could think as this time to use these games as tool as a time to just talk with their friends and or "hang out" also there is not confirmation that the kids are actually doing the work so they could just be sitting there and fooling around!

The matrix

I recently saw the movie The Matrix for the 100th time and it sparked a new thought into my head and that thought was what pill I would take if I was presented with the option. I personally would take the red because I am the type of person who when told that I have been in a lie this entire time.... i don't like it. I would want to know what the real world. I hate not knowing the truth and if i did not take the red pill it would drive me crazy knowing I am in a lie and i need to know!

Maker movement

The maker movement is introducing programming/ building things as a group to a wide variety of age groups. I am going to focus on the maker movement in schools. I believe that it is a good thing because it makes students and kids of all ages to go make something that will make their world and generation better. In an ever growing field of work this a good thing to get kids started early in a field that will forever be needed!
