Description of My Website

The topic chose for my website to be about is "Simple Inventions that Changed the World". In the website I will include a Home Page, with an introduction to the topic, a first page about Examples of Simple Inventions, saying 5 brilliant but simple inventions that changed the world, then a sedcond page about the impact of these inventions on the world, a third page with a timeline of all the inventions in the world in general, and the last page with my Bibliography, stating all the sites I used and where I got my information.

The layout of my website would be divided into three parts. On the top I will put the title, "Simple Inventions that Changed the World", then the bottom part would be divided into two sections. To the left, there will be a section with the Photo Gallery, with some pictures about inventions and inventors, and when you click on these images they will take you to the site where I got them from. Every picture will have a different border and color.To the right, there will be the information about the topic I chose. The layout will be the same for every page you click. For example, if you re in the Home page and click on the First Page, the layout of the First age will be the same than the Home, but with different information to the right. The fonts of the website will be, for the main title "Simple Inventions that Chanted the World", Ravie and every word will be a different color, for the sub-titles and the names of the pages, CountryBlueprint each will be of a different color, and for the normal writing, CityBlueprint in each page, the wiritng will be the color of the tab. Also, the color of the background will be black.There will be a comments section at the bottom of every page so that the readers can leave their advice and comments for my site. The timeline will be a picture that I will create in Photoshop that includes pictures and textboxes with information about the inventions.

For this project I will have to, not only research about the inventions and the information about them, but about how to do some things in the HTML so they look cool in my website, such as special codes.

HTML Quiz Practice Reflection

During this quiz practice I learned basically everything about the basics in HTML. For example, hot to create a table, an image with a link, how to change the font of the text, and how to create lists. What I did to make the process easier, I first did a tutorial of the HTML and tried everything in a free trial the website had. In the free trial I did the whole quiz practice and then copied and pasted the HTML to the notepad. Anything I did not know or understand, I looked for it in the tutorial or in Google. What I found easy about this practice, was writing the tags for the lists and line breaks; and what I found a bit more challenging was adding the picture with the link. Even though I had the website's tutorial to help me, I had a bit of trouble making everything work with the notepad and making it into the HTML.

HTML Project

Right now we are going to start a project about HTML. Since I have never learned anything about this topic, I don't know anything about it, but in this project I will research and learn many things about HTML.

  • About HTML:
The word HTML stands for "Hypertext Markup Language" and it is the language in which web pages are made. It describes the structure and content of the web page in sets of codes. In the web pages, the HTML codes can also describe pictures, sounds, graphics, and animations. This markup language extended from SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) to XHTML (an extensible HTML format). The web standards are made by the World Wide Web Consortium,

  • Tutorials about using HTML:
When creating a web page, the HTML is the format or language that is used to doing so. If you want to write something, it has to have a special code in before and after of what you're going to write. Everything you write must be written in a way that when the web page is created, it looks the way you want it. For example, if you want the background of your web page to be yellow, you have to write it in this format so that it is yellow:

What makes a good blog?

A good blog is an online journal that contains appropriate content, maybe informative, educational, videoblog, audioblog, or a photoblog, that does not bully, annoy, or bother anyone else. Also a good blog attracts lots of attention by having a very attracting theme, pictures, videos, music, and information. They also have a comments section so that people who visit the blog can say their opinions and what they think about the blog. As stated in the previous post about, What makes a good comment?, people who leave their comments on the blog have to say their opinion, whether positive or negative, in a polite way. This also applies for blog posts. A good blog can be about the opinion of the blogger, but what makes it good is that they say it in a polite way, so that other people don't get offended. For example, if I want to say something about the government of my country, I can say negative things as well as positive things, but I have to write my opinions about it in a respectful way, considering that other people may get hurt because of something I said that was rude.

What makes a good post in Technology?

A good comment is a constructive opinion about the post. It shares the commenter's opinions about the post, but respects the person's opinions also. It is appropriate, useful, productive, and positive or negative,but does not intend to bully, annoy, or bother someone else. A good comment can also show somebody's support about the post being commented on. For example, if the post is about a food recipe, a person might comment on how the recipe worked for them or didn't and ask what to do in order to make it work. Or maybe the commenter can write about another way to cook the same food and how the other recipe can be modified to make it easier. Also about a personal experience that can help other people cook the food.

9th Grade Technology

Hello,
I am now in 9th Grade and I will use this blog as my MYP Technology Class online journal. In this blog I will post homeworks, information, and other useful things that might help me as the class progresses during the semester. I expect constructive, educational, and appropriate comments for the posts I create and respect toward my opinions.

Gears in Robotics


You have to look the information related with each of the following ideas and put it in your blog.

1. Gears in robotics: a toothed part of a machine that is held together with another toothed part used to change the speed or direction of transmitted motion.

2. Concept of Force: is one of the fundamental concepts of physics. It is something that changes the motion of an object.

3. Concept of Torque: mechanical part that changes the rotational motion of an object.

4. How gears work?

Gears are used in basically every mechanical object. They make the electronic devices work by implying a special force that makes them move. They can also modify the direction of the rotation of something. For example, when a car turns, the power from the shaft is transmitted to the wheels. This makes the wheels turn.

5. Types of gears: explain each type and have a picture of it.

There are many types of gears, some are:

  • Spur gear:





  • Bevel gear:

  • Crown gear:

  • Worm gear:

  • Differential gear:

  • Pinion:

  • Cogwheel:

  • Idler gear:

  • Ratchet:

  • Pawl:

  • Planetary gear:

6. Gears efficiency:

7. Direction of gear rotation: a gear can rotate in two different directions, forward rotation and backward rotation. The forward rotation, also called standard rotation, is when the central part of the tooth in the gear goes in the gearing region. The backward rotation is when the tips of the teeth first go in the gearing region.

8. Gear pitch: the pitch is the space between the teeth of the gear where another gear’s teeth would fit.
