     I have Ms. Garvin seventh period for US History 2. She went to Purdue University and she's a runner. This year I'm expecting to learn about the cold war. Her grading policy is 40% for test/quizzes, 40% for project-based assignments, 10% for homework, and 10% for participation. Ms. Garvin uses online voice threads for homework and notes, which I like better than in class note taking.
     In her class we've done a lot of gallery walks. That's when you walk around looking at the room, look at the pictures, and fill in the sheet she gives you. I like doing the gallery walks because they're fun and I learn a lot more from them.
     I like that class so far. It's not as hard as I thought it would be and the work is pretty easy. I like the fact that we have online homework and note taking because it's easier. Ms. Garvin isn't a boring teacher and she makes her class fun.

Technology Article: 9/13/2013

• This week, sportswear designers of the company Under Armour revealed a touchscreen t-shirt call Armour39.
• Its purpose is to track basic performance measurements like speed, intensity, heart rate, calories burned, a log of past performances and other athletic metrics.
• It can also measure how hard an athlete pushes him or herself during a workout on a scale of 1-10.
• To determine the answer, Amour39 takes into account heart rate, calories burned and past performances, among other things.
• All the information is capture by  use a chest strap that contains an Under Armour “bug” and heart monitor.
• The bug can then be used in conjunction with the Armour39 watch, or with the use of an iOS app for iPhone’s to provide easy access to the data.
• The Armour39 doesn't possess a GPS feature for good run tracking, which seems like a chief invention error that affects runners, who are a humungous segment of their market.
• This gadget does run for approximately a year on the watch battery used in the gadget. 
• The Armour39 introduces its first product that seems to propose a greater shift toward wearable technology.
• The product costs $149.99. 
• If you prefer not to download the app, there's a watch that's available for $200 that syncs with the device and provides readings.

What 9/11 means to me

I don't remember 9/11 at all so it doesn't really mean anything to me. Even though I don't remember it I do think it was a tragic event.

Hi!

I am Gloria Glavan. I play soccer and I do tae kwon do. I'm into music. I play bass guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, and a little bit of drums. I like to make songs and I record them with my brother usually.
