IBM's Watson aims to make hospital stays more enjoyable
This supercomputer is designed to make major hospital visits less frightful to patients
IBM has a 3 year partnership with Alder Hey Children's Hospital in the UK to analyze patient care
IBM has been testing this supercomputer since 2011 by assisting doctors in making clinical decisions
Now its next task is to turn Alder Hey into a "cognitive hospital" which delivers insight about the patient experience
In the future IBM hopes to have more applications including matching patients to clinical studies and help manage chronic illness through educational applications
Gandhi's quote " You must be the change you wish to see in the world" makes people think about their goals in life and how to make the world a better place. My goal is to go to college and become a nurse. This will not only benefit me but also the community. I can become a school nurse or maybe work at a nearby hospital.

What would you add to this particular wiki? I would add more up-to-date information, resources and links.
What did you learn after reading this wiki? I have learned that an Internet Telephony allows your computer to be used like a telephone, you can send voice overs to someone.

Different from other headphones, the purpose is not to listen to music, even though it allows you to do that too. Its purpose is to trick your brain into thinking you are moving.
They send electrical signals to the nerve of your ear, which regulates balance and motion.
In the past summer Oskar and Gasper staged an event in Portugal called "Ink Mapping"
They used projection mapping to transform tattoos into works of art
Projection mapping is combining traditional projection technology with software that forces the projected tattoo to fit within the boundaries of a three-dimensional surface
This allows artists to design motions that follow the certain pathway of planes and curves
This article is very helpful because it helps you better understand the laws of copyright. Copyright is a federal law that protects your work that could include literary, artistic, written, musical and some other types of work. Your work that you produce is already copyrighted without any paperwork. Someone can comment and research your work and it is now against the law. Also, if your work is license, it is not fair use. This article will help me when I am working on a project, research paper, or any school work.
Even though the fight between Apple and the FBI is still happening, Apple is starting to ensure security measures that would prevent a hacker to hack an iPhone using the methods at Apple's source
The heated arguments between Apple and the FBI will soon come to end at a hearing on March 22
Apple is willing to bring this fight between them and the FBI to the Supreme Court if necessary
The feud is said to be the reason for Apple's new software
In my opinion, I believe that Apple is doing the right thing. They do not want to build a "backdoor" to the iPhone so that the government can access control over an iPhone from an investigation. The investigation the FBI is working on is the San Bernardino Case. Apple fears that if they create a backdoor, it could have the potential to unlock any iPhone when put in the wrong hands. Terrorism is a major issue that needs to be stopped but this new technology that Apple might be forced to make will not make the issue better, if anything it will make it much worse. If a hacker gets access to someone's smartphone, they could have information including contacts, notes, health data, photos, music, private messages and where our location is.
This year as a freshman in high school, I am taking World History. Ms. Garvin is my teacher for this subject. She became a teacher at Wood-Ridge High School straight out of college. She went to Purdue University. I expected to learn about the geography of the continents around the world. Also, I expected to learn about cultures and religions world-wide. I enjoy learning new topics in Ms. Garvin's class. Even though we are not finished with the year, we have learned many interesting topics. http://my.hrw.com/ We have studied many continents, cultures and religions, tribes, and ancient civilizations. Also, we have learned about the Medieval time period, The Enlightenment period, and The Industrial Revolution. All of these topics have an impact on our world still to this day. We have learned so much in the past 2 marking periods, I can not wait to see what we learn next!
Ms. Garvin has a very strict grading policy.http://wood-ridge.schoolwires.net/Page/3199 All of our projects and DBQ's have a stapled rubric on the back. 40% of our grade is summative assessments. 10% is homework. Another 10% is formative assessments. Lastly 40% is performance-based assessments. In her class, we watch history documentaries and YouTube videos of people traveling around the world. They are very interesting to watch, I get so excited when we watch them!
We use the chrome books in Ms. Gavin's class sometimes. We research for our DBQ's when we have time in class. Also if we have a project like a web quest for example, we use the computers to do it. When we take notes, Ms. Garvin makes slides and we take notes from the projector. It is much easier then Ms. Garvin writing the notes on the board. The notes are easier to read because she can just enlarge it if we can not see it. Chrome books and the projector help my class a lot in world history. Ms. Garvin is determined for her students to not only pass, but to enjoy learning about history!
Hello, My name is Justine Calrow. Welcome to my Web 2.0 blog! I am a freshman at Wood-Ridge High School. I am an allstar cheerleader at East Coast Premier Allstars. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. Over the summer, I plan to go on vacation to Dominican Republic with my family and all of my closest friends that I met while cheering. Also in the spring, my friends and I are going to Florida to a cheerleading competition called "Worlds."
