How cars have changed overtime? - Reflection

Kia Ora everyone and welcome back to my blog!
WALA: Our technological world. 

This week, we have been learning about our technological world. The topic I have chosen for our 'WALT' was how cars changed overtime. I was interested in researching about cars because I wanted to investigate who invented the first car and how cars improved overtime.

Here is a little peep of my work:

Since the first car was developed in 1885, there have been more improvements made. This means, in 1885 when the first car was invented, it was powered by an internal-combustion engined. Which, nowadays, cars have been more improved and are now run by gasoline or diesel. The outcome of these improvements are that, it has made life easier and helps people get from one place to another quicker. 

Cars are still being improved today, and now have a safer environment in cars.
Did you know that, back in the days people never use to have seat belts, airbags, radio etc? Well, we are all lucky now, because our cars are safer to use and if any accidents happen, we have airbags to help us survive through these accidents.

The challenging part about this, was researching about the history of cars and trying to summarise the information into my own words. Honestly, I would say that this used up most of my time. Next time, I think that I could try researching for about 20 minutes and then start creating my DLO. 
Although, I enjoyed doing this topic because I got to learn more about how cars changed overtime. 

The purpose of this was to learn about our technological world. How cars affected our live(?), How is changed overtime (?) and cars from the past and present. 


The next step for me, is to learn how to explain in my own words how cars have changed overtime.

What Is Technology?

WALA: Our technological world.
Key Question : How does technology affect us ?

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog, today I will be explaining and sharing with you what technology is and how it affects us in our world.
During our lesson about technology, I´ve learned that there are several types of technology, such as:

* Transportation
* Construction
* Medical
* Mechanical
* Biotechnology
* Agricultural
* Energy and power
* AND MORE,

Throughout this whole session, I've really enjoyed getting to learn more about technologies and the different types of technology. Did you know that, not all technology has/needs electricity, technology means/is something that has a useful purpose. Example : Spoon - A spoon is a technology because it has a useful purpose of letting us eat food.
Although, two technology types I liked learning about was, Agricultural technology and medical technology.

Transport Technology:
Transportation technology is where someone transports/moves from one place to another, using machines, objects, or legs. An example of this are :
*Cars
*Bus
*Boats

Medical Technology: 
Medical technology is what doctors use for patients. An example of a medical technology are :
* Reflex hammer
* Stethoscope
* Blood pressure monitor

These things/technologies can help us in life because if makes life much easier and also faster. It helps us to solve problems. The transportation technology can help me to transport from one place to another, and the medical technology can help me when i´m sick or sore.

These technologies can be improved when more medical technologies are designed to help prevent viruses/diseases. And also when more cars like electric cars are made so that we wouldn't need to pay for gas, because we would only need to charge the car.

________________

The use of medical technology is to help people and to prevent anything bad happening to us.
The use of transportation technology is to help us all get from one place to another without walking. This way would be much faster and easier to use.

So,
technology is important because it makes life easier and has a big part in our life, as it helps us all day and everyday.

Cyclone Hola - Research

IALT: Research about the upcoming Cyclone Hola. 

Have you ever heard of a Cyclone Hola?
Well, a cyclone Hola is like a tropical storm. To help me out, I use a cyclone Hola as if it will be doing a Hola. Because, this cyclone type has hard wind and circles around like a coma. 

It's a sad fact that this Cyclone Hola will be hitting New Zealand. This is a place where I am originally born and also somewhere I stand. My Turangawaewae. - A place I stand. Furthermore, a cyclone Hola has not just effected New Zealand, but also other countries as well. 

I think that the main point in this message is to inform everyone in New Zealand that a Cyclone Hola is heading Auckland. This cyclone may be passed onto Australia, but we'll see soon. 

Here is a presentation that shares my research on a Cyclone Hola.
