iDisorder


Well, have you heard a book that called “iDisorder”, pretty much it is a book that tell about how people could have many kinds of illness that cause by our modern technology. Like for example if those kids or young people who love to spend more than hours texting on Facebook, what kind of adults we will become? I also should very about that too because I am an extreme nerd at games but for me I want to work on cartoonist so it is important to me for always keep on my imagination and daydream, they are the things I have to keep work up and can’t forget. Let’s get on with the story some people are very obsessive on  checking email, facebook or youtube more than hours so that’s kind na remind me of smoking alittle. So there is a psychologist doctor named Larry D. Rosen he’s the one who wrote the book on about many gadgets make some people mentally ill, mainly those who are already got problem or suffered from depression or be obsessive all time. Here might be examples on the book like…people who use a lot mobile device who suffered from “phantom vibration syndrome”  this happened when you forget your phone and discover that it isn’t in your pocket. And other is Facebook depression happened when most teenagers got moodswing which it’s lucky that I only use facebook for gaming (yes people I am obsessive at game.). Again there are many MANY disorders in the book so this is his words for you all, balance and self-awareness (I know it’s hard to keep yourself on those words but you are killing yourself if you never follow those words.

So I kind of think I should buy this book if I see it somewhere in book store but in my case I am only obsessive with YouTube and games that could keep me play them for more or less than 10 hours, still maybe in that book it might be at least one or two cases that actually relate to me. Other problem to me is that I am not directly mentally ill to the technology only but most biggest trouble I have right now is normal disorder like a lot daydream or shyness against other people that I don’t get use to. SO pretty much I need to find a normal disorder or self-help book to help myself.

The Psychology of Color


For those people who always get bore or want to find more about yourself by search for quiz that are relate about yourself so I think I might found a good one to share. So you it is an infographic that look like a color wheel and many so what color that most relate to you, they will actually have you the color and its meaning base on each colors have its own personality meaning in it but again maybe don’t believe in it too much cause not all things will be truth so let’s for fun.




So in my opinions it is good for self learning and for fun so let’s share, my most relate colors would be lavender/ purple and silver. Lavender represents the calmness which I always want my own room to be relaxing to make you forget all your worries for moment and need ready for work too because good room isn’t just make you sleepy, it need you to put into mood for working too. For silver I don’t know , well let’s see what most related white represent pureness, and freedom so I still don’t know what silver represent maybe the stillness and alittle cold sometime. Same as lavender to me it mean illusion or dream, purple or lavender isn’t just about wealth and success but what really dear to me is that lavender is a mystery color and the color that represent dream, imagination world. I like daydream and maybe white or silver also can be represent as the truth and realistic. Well this is it and remember to not take things too serious just like myself.

Internet Safety: Rules for Kids


This article is about how kids should learn how to use internet in safety way and beware of their action. So as parents we should teach them to understand of their actions and prepare them just like by naming a user name “FatGreenWizard” which it is a cute for grade 5 but I don’t think it will be suit for first job interview. Second is about how we should help them about thinking before posting a picture, like if it is private or not, if it is private then the result might come back and bite them after. So here are the safe rules for kids: 

No. 1 Guard you privacy meaning it is up to you on what you want people to know other you. 
No. 2 Protect your reputation meaning think clearly before you do anything in online it might come back and cost you a lot of trouble tomorrow. 
 No. 3 Nothing is private online meaning people can see whatever you say, do and post in online so beware of your action.
No. 4 Assume everyone is watching nearly same as rule number 3 even they are friend or not, they still can see everything.  
No. 5 Apply the Golden rule meaning if you don’t want all this to happen to you, don’t go and do it on other. No. 6 Choose wisely meaning if you went to web sites beware again because not all sites are appropriate. 
NO. 7 Don’t hide meaning by to use username as anonymous doesn’t mean it could help turn to someone who is trustworthy or responsible.
 No. 8 Think about what you see meaning because not all things in online are real. 
And last no. 9 Be smart meaning be careful just in case someone try to trick on online.

Is this useful or not? Well to me some points are useful to me but some also are the most common things we should know later like number 5,3,7, and 9 but then again this is a list for kids who just newly know about the online world. I think number 8 have the most relate to me because as you know I like to read or listen to Creeypasta which they are stories that are legends or in other word scary mystery stories and I can’t tell which are real or fake, I know most of them are fake but then again about some of the stories can be real even if they are just 30 out of millions.

what you learned during ICT class in this week

In ICT Class we actually start doing our own Restaurant design in which we have do use all what we learned on pass few weeks to create one, and it is not easy like when I want to design my own door. Well windows are fine they are easy to make but it's hard to a door that you want every single details about it is the same door as inside your head, which I am sure that I will regret it and somewhat make a new one or hopefully I could use the same door and try to ignore the problem. But still let's hope for the best.


what you learned during any other class in this week

We don't really study much this week so the last class that I remember clearly is Science, which we do experiment about the different between Beetle and Cockroach. A we have materials for testing them first is the hand-making box which it look like a cross because each 4 sides will use to put test material or like food or something else and it the middle of the 4 side cross is to put the test subject in there. Well we put leaf, soil, food  and rice in each 4 sides and so we put a cockroach in the middle box which it alway move to the brown box color but for the beetle it isn't matter what color the box is so it move to only leaf and soil but mainly the soil. Which it mean that Cockroach love the darkness of brown color and for Beetle alway move toward to its natural environment which is the soil.

Game-Based Learning and Children


This article is about GBL or Game-based learning, it is how we use games for education which the goal is to let kids learning from game as a tool.  There are 5 elements that GBL have to be include which are healthy, safe, engaged and challenged.  First healthy, healthy games supposed to be about to make us learn about health and well-being usually about physical fitness. For example like the game that release on mobile called ‘Run, Zombies!’ which is the mix between running and zombie apocalypse. Second element is safe, the game should be physically and emotionally safe for both kids and the elder like not to punish students by grading or only have one chance to get the answer right so we should give more chances to the game.  Third is engaged, like to create any environment where kids have interest and want to know more about in education.  Last but not least is the supported, games should be good the support for kids knowledge and need to be caring too. Last is challenged all games are often quite challenging so their job is to make the game with enough challenge but not too impossible which of course need to base on learning.

About this article I think it is a good idea but I rarely see education game when I am rolling on search something that interest me or maybe the things I usually interest in is the games the mostly involved about arts (like Minecraft and Which for example) so I don’t really care about education very much. But I do also have an interest in Run, Zombies! too which it’s a plus between zombies and running exercise, if you are a huge fan or get used to zombie stuffs I think it might be quite useful for me who don’t really like to go out very much, which I just hate and scare to go outside.

Unusual Things about Human body


                                    This article is about our body which I think it is good to know alittle about how our body work so here are the fact that I am most interest in. First, right-handed people live nine years longer than left-handed people which I can’t tell if it is truth or not. Second, stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve razor blades, if that is truth then I am doom because I am a person people never eat breakfast in the morning but I do eat at lunch, but still if acid is enough to destroy a razor blade then I am in big trouble and for workers who like to skip eat breakfast, lunch or dinner, be sure to be careful. Third your body gives off enough heat in 30 minutes to boil a half gallon of water, I don’t know but it sounded possible which human normal temperature is about 36 or 37 C but again I don’t if person who have the case of cold hands and feet like me would able to do that. Fourth Sneezes travel over 100 miles per hour, that is why we wear mask or cover our mouth all the time when we sick. Last the fastest-growing nail is the middle finger, well I might need to keep an eye on my nails more next time.

                                  I think this is a good topic for self-understanding which I can’t be sure if all of them are truth but still it’s at least good to spend 5 or 8 minutes to read something about what we use everyday, so you might not push yourself hard like an amusement park ride next time. So when your body tell you to stop try to listen to your body is better than listen to your mind is better.
