I learned that depending on what you want to study each school is better for different things. For example Yale Law is a great school while Cambirdge is great at sciences. I found out yale is currently university #7, Cambridge is #2 and Toronto Univeristy is #19. In theory Cambridge is better then Yale and finally Toronto U. Even though one is better than the other  the three are really great universities in the top 20 worldwide.

Yale's Tuition for Arts and Science Program: $35,500

Cambridges Tuition: £9,000

Toronto University Tuition: about $25,000

Cambridge towns population is 20%

Yale University is the main job provider in New Haven

Toronto University owns lots of land and even a hotel around this school.

Google Glasses

-What you know about the topic before your research

I know the google glasses are glasses that look normal but really contain lots of information. They are like two mini computer screens on your eyes. I know it is a very great advance in technology and I know some people compare them to the people in Wall-E.

-What you wonder or questions you have about the topic before researching (at least 2)

I wonder what the glasses have (camera?).

I wonder how to control the glasses.

-Links to where you found the most useful information (at least 2, NOT Wikipedia, although you can use it to help you)

Googles page: explains what it does and some cool features.

Page with different opinions: showed me peoples point of view as well as positive and negative things.

-Bullet list of things you learned about the topic (at least 5)

The glasses are controlled by voice

It can give you directions

You can wear them with other glasses

You could be part of an experimentation group

The price is around the same as a regular smartphone.

-A short summary of how this topic connects/relates to you or your life

This topic connects to my life because depending on this the glasses might not work here in Colombia. If the glasses do work I might buy one and use it. I might have a smartphone and glasses or I might just choose one. Depending on the results the glasses might reach the Colombian market which might affect me because it is where I live. I might be a consumer of this product and I might recommend it so it does affect me and my life.

-Questions you still have (at least 1)

How do they make the glasses so they dont damage your eyes or cause problems.

Design Project Day 5

I think we succedeed at making the game fun because we did it very colorful and we where also to able to incorporate prizes which is exactly what we wanted to do.

The biggest problem we encountered definitely was finding out a way to put the prizes on the box in an easy way that could be easy yet well designed. What we did is cut 3 sides of a square into a box and fold them backwards where we put the prizes. It was an easy yet smart solution we had.

Our AHA HA idea was when we decided to incorporate prizes in the game and when we came up with the idea on how to do that. It was in my opinion what made the game so successful.

Me because I thought the ideas they had where not as good as they could be. I also thought the possibility of this ideas resulting where not likely. We mostly agreed in everything.

That the game would be so difficult and no kid would be able to get a prize. This was not the case they even told us it was a tad easy. We overcame those doubts by making the squares different sizes.

Tatiana was de D----'s Advocate because she questioned everything to try to make it better. She was always adding to good ideas. She also helped us realize why some ideas where not good which was really helpful at the end of the day.

I learned I can really work well in a group. I also learned it is necessary to question each others ideas to succeed in finding a good one. I learned teamwork is giving and receiving not just controlling everybody. What I learned about the process is it always is about making the "costumer" happy.
