Google 20% Part 3
Today we could not do anything because the program we needed to start coding could not be downloaded on the school computers and we did not know that we were going to do the google 20% proyect today so we did not bring the program in our computers

Google 20% PART 2
After looking at a failed attempt to create an online multiplayer game, Andres and I have decide to change to a similar but less massive thing to do which is creating a minecraft plugin using java language.
3 goals:
Find a platform to begin doing the plugin
Start learning how to use that platform
Decide what the plugin will do and learn the essentials to do it
http://www.mpgh.net/forum/32-java/417858-how-make-minecraft-plugin.html
http://eclipsetutorial.sourceforge.net/totalbeginner.html
http://eclipse.c3sl.ufpr.br/technology/epp/downloads/release/juno/SR1/eclipse-jee-juno-SR1-win32.zip
The first site was searched on google, which sent me to the next where I started downloading a program called eclipse. The program is 221 mb but it is taking too long to download.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipsetutorial/files/1.%20Total%20Beginners/Version%201.0/

www.eclipse.org
The first link is a great explanation of how to use eclipse part by part but i think when I get home I am going to use the youtube tutorial and do it on my mac because this is taking too long to download and make my own plugin.
After checking several kinds of plugins like making a vending machine, a teleporter or a cell phone we decided to start with something simpler, which is a flashlight. Even though it will be a very simple plugin it will require a lot of time to of because of the coding. The idea is to create different kind of blocks that do not exist to make the game funner. But for that to happen we need to know how to change things like the block brightness to its strength and to what it can create.

Desmos
https://www.desmos.com/calculator
This is an amazing site which helps you create awesome graphs in an easy way.
First create an account so that you can save your graph.
Next, better link it to facebook if you want to share your graphs with your friends.
Now, press launch calculator so that you can make your graph.
There yo can see others great creations and it helps you to get an idea.
At first it is very hard because you have to know cool ecuations which you can find on google (if you don't know any)
But then you can change the colors and make figures like batman and stuff like that.
It is like a Ti-84.
After click safe and finally post it on facebook.
Other students may use to get help on their math things or create fun art to spend time.
This is my creation:

1. I agree with the professor of MIT that with technology in class they learn less because they are not paying attention to the class.
2. I agree with Lauren when she said that technology is helping us multitask because we can do many things at a time like email, facebook and youtube at the same time so I think that is multitasking.
3. I disagree with the researcher from NASA because he says that multitaskers are really slow, but one can be multitasker for different things. Be good at some and not as good at doing other things.
4. I disagree with what the UCLA doctor said, which was that one needed more energy for google than for reading. I disagree because one spends much more time on google so you should become better on that that on reading.
5. I disagree with the narrator saying that technology is hurting us because it is helping us more
6. I agree with the programs they do about disconnecting one self with technology because that can help loosen a bit the addiction
7. I disagree that videogames take away your ability to think well
8. I agree that a kind of addiction exists between kids
9. I agree with the mom about sending his son to a middle school that requires computers because children will not disconnect so they need to learn
10. I agree that some people are obsessed with the internet
11. I agree with being a way to seeing what students do during class in a computer.
12. I disagree that parents and teachers monitor children when they want because children need their privacy
13. I disagree when Bauerlein says that children are not as smart now thanks to technology because these children are making the world advance
14. I agree that games and technology because it lets you be what you want to be for some time
15. I agree technology can help you find friends but their is a small risk factor
16. I disagree that all gamers are isolated geeks because really they connect
17. I agree that technology can drive everyone crazy or obsessed at some point
18. I agree that technology has rewritten the rules of interaction because people become more social.
19. I agree that without technology many people would die (figuratively) because people are so connect it, it would devastate them.
20. I agree that without technology the world would not be able to develop
