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:

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.
