Lake Ohau Fire

 

WALT: Research Facts and Information correlating to Current events in the News

Today for Current Events I chose to do my Presentation on the Lake Ohau Blaze that devastated houses, land and estates around the Area, it is safe to say no one was Harmed or Killed in the Fire.

I enjoyed this activity because it was interesting to Research and the Information was Readily available to be Sourced and gathered to bring together the Presentation, What I did not like about this activity that some of the Sites gave a Complete lack of information and gave no Sources.

Summer Learning Journey W1

 Today we started our Summer Learning Journey challenge in which we had to recolour famous artworks and swap around the colours, play around with the Sandbox and mess with the Colours, here is my artwork:

I chose these Colours because I thought that they looked nicer and matched the image more than the original, for reference; here is a photo:

Current Events Covid-19 Vaccine

 

For our Current Events quiz today I chose to do some writing on the Covid-19 Vaccine by Moderna. I found this activity pretty easy to write and decorate as the News had just come out and just began producing it.

I didn't find it that difficult to do, If you want to go back and see previous ones search for the "Current Events" tag on my blog.

Current Events Napier Flood

 

I did this presentation about the Napier Floods for our Weekly Current Events, it just explains what happened and how it happened.

I found this easy to make because it was a simple topic and there were lots of sources that gave me information, it wasn't difficult because it was just really simple and easy.

Sportsmanship for Dummies

 

This was a Slideshow that I created showing the Values of Sportsmanship, we did this for our T-Shaped Literacy Reading activity. I made 2 slides, one had photos and a small blurb about how you can be a good sport.

I wrote a small Rap Song on the side but didn't have time to record it, I loved making the Slide and it was funny to make. I found it challenging to come up with the Lyrics to the Rap Song.

Sportsmanship Word Map

 

WALT: Make connections by thinking about underlying ideas within and between texts.

WALT: Make connections by thinking about underlying ideas within and between texts.

For our Olympic Sportsmanship T-Shaped literacy, this was one of our activities. We had to pick a word from a list and do some research on it.

I found it very easy and there was really nothing hard about it.

    

DOJ Files a Lawsuit against Google

The United States Department of Justice has filed an Antitrust Lawsuit on the widely popular Web Searching index “Google”, following antitrust laws the D.O.J has filed a legal suit on the Corporation for violation for Trust Laws and Breaching agreement standards. They claim that Google, being a massive company with billions of users are blocking other Engines out using its tremendously large Size and broad reach across nations, and using Currency Exchange to prevent other Internet Surf index Engines from succeeding and thriving, not allowing them to put up a fair chance.  

The Washington DOJ has started to take action against Google misusing and abusing its power, they have been misleading Competitors and paying more money to make sure that they stay at the top of the Web Search Index Hierarchy. The DOJ claims that the Search Giant is “Crippling the Competitive Process” and that, “American Citizens should have right to see and use other companies”, the members of the DOJ that are suing Google have requested for the Judge not to pick apart and abolish and annex their company but to sell of a portion of it to someone and choose to look at something else. Using complaints and previous suits against the Corporation the DOJ are claiming that they are misusing consumers trust and are not playing a fair game with the Competitors. 

The DOJ suit is looking to become successful in selling a small portion of the Web Giant and giving the people willing to sue another engine a chance to find it; blocking out some for the unfair reach and advantage of Google, the DOJ thinks that Google They claim that “Google resisted everything” and that following up this suit would grant 3rd party engines access to reach and portions of sites. They will be prevented from taking out all the 3rd Party Companies like Yelp. The Judge involved with this case is following through, even after a Google Rep stating that the DOJ, a Federal Agency. “Does not have to votes to sue them.”

WALT: Research Current Events shown in our weekly quiz.

I chose the DOJ suit against Google, I thought that the topic was very interesting and wanted to learn more. I enjoyed doing research and creating the presentation. It was easy to do because it was just doing a bit of writing.

I found it difficult to source some of the sites I visited to validate the information that was listed, some of the info didn't match up with other sites.

I hope you enjoy the Presentation; leave a Comment with some Feedback.
