Smart Rear-View Mirror Sees Through The Stuff Piled In Your Back Seat

• At the New York Auto Show this weekend, Nissan was demoing its Smart Rear-View Mirror system. 
• The setup, which is still in a prototype stage, is installed on a Nissan Rogue SUV. 
• In the car, what looks like a standard rear-view mirror has two functions: a mirror and an LCD display. 
• When the view is blocked, a driver can toggle to a live feed from a wide-angle camera on the rear of the car. 
• The feature will roll out in Japan this year, but U.S. availability is still pending.

History
Mt. Fuji Restaurants are New York and New Jersey's premier locations for Japanese Hibachi cuisine.

Why it is a good Restaurant

They have a funny statue in the waiting room

The cooks can make shapes out of the food while it is cooking.

The fire volcano they make with the onion rings is huge.




The restaurant is named after a mountain in japan



Mount Fuji is even supposed to erupt again


If this restaurant closed down, where would I go and why?
I would go to the Lodi Buffet because they have the same type of foods, but it is cheaper and you can get more. But the food is not made right in front of you.

Invention Awards 2014: Charge Gadgets With Your Footsteps

SolePower

• Each thud of a hiker’s heel releases enough energy to illuminate a light bulb.
• The device promises to be an improvement over traditional, hefty power packs as well as solar chargers, which work slowly or not at all, depending on the weather.
• The same method is used in hand crank flash lights.
• SolePower’s current version, to be released later this year, requires a lengthy 15-mile walk to charge a smartphone.
• The creator says the company is working toward a design that can charge an iPhone after less than five miles of hiking and withstand about 100 million footsteps of wear and tear.

Do Now: Wiki Dissection

1. What is the purpose of this Wiki?

          The wiki is on disruptive technologies/innovations in the classroom.

2. When was the last post?

          The last updated post was on Tuesday, April 2

3. How was this Wiki created?

          It was created through a wiki page on Wikipedia.

4. What would you add to it?

          I would add on some more technology and innovations.

5. What did you learn from it?

          I learned a little more about wikis and what they are good for

6. If you had to create a Wiki with a team, what would be the specific topic (s)?

How can Wikis be used in the classroom or in education?

          I would create a wiki on wikis and how they can be used. Our class would probably use a wiki for a group project graded assignment, so that it could be easier to view for the students and teachers

Life Sized Lego Car Powered By Air

• A full-size car made of 500,000 LEGOs, sprung from an unlikely partnership between Romanian tinkerer Raul Oaida and Australian investor Steve Sammartino.
• A total of 256 LEGO Technic pistons drive four radial engines, which turn the drive shaft and power the oversize rear tires. The car can reach 18 mph—but there are no brakes. 
• After they saw a video of a Ferrari 599 GTB made of LEGOs, they set out to build something even better.
• Oaida spent 18 months constructing the compressed-air-powered vehicle and then shipped it to Australia for a test drive.

Do Now: Web 2.0: Wiki Research

1. How can a wiki be used in your current classes? Be specific to your classes!

Answer: The Wikipedia community can help the instructor or  students articles that will be edited with student drafts. Details on the assignment and how it will be graded are also valuable. Course pages allow editors to discriminate between editor-specific and classroom-specific issues, so that constructive feedback can be targeted to the right place.

2. What are the benefits of using a wiki?

Answer: 

• ease in creating web-based content, especially by those who have no technical expertise.
• elimination of e-mail threads among groups to communicate or to obtain information.
• ability to complete real-time updates of web-based content (without waiting for the technical support team to update your web server files.)
• avoiding transfer of document attachments to a distribution list through your e-mail system.
• enabling the ability to always access current information (eliminating problems by referencing outdated documents or attachments that you previously received.)

3. How can we create one in this class and utilize it?

Answer: We can create one on showing how Web 2.0 works and why we use it, we could also use it to organize a field trip.

4. What experience do you have using or creating wikis?

Answer: I have some experience in using wikis, because my World History teacher uses one so we can post our group projects to it, and so that we can present them to the class.
